Shaving

Gillette Fusion ProGlide (iirc) is ****ing terrible. Get cut all the time with it and it always tends to leave out bits of annoying stubble while shaving off all the wrong bits.

Electric shave 100% of the time

Switching to electric shave once I finish with my current razors.

I shave every other day, but with the convenience of an electric razor I might switch to every day.

Shave pretty much every day. When one reaches one's mid-30s stubble doesn't so much make one look cool & devil may care as a scruffy ****.

Plus at least 20% of me stubble is now an attractive ginge/grey combo.

Yeah I shave most weekdays unless I'm really feeling lazy or haven't charged my razor. Usually don't bother at the weekend though, which always makes that Monday morning shave somewhat uncomfortable.

I hate wet shaving so much that when I was working in London earlier in the year and left my shaver at home one week, I just went with the scruff bag image. Was itchy as ****.

Not many exist, as not everybody owned digital cameras before 2006 and I haven't been clean shaven since then for more than a job interview or two.

Had a housemate in England who had an electric shaver, and would just leave the hairs all over the bathroom. Turned me off the idea of them completely.

Don't reckon they actually save all that much time either. Plus they're rubbish on those hairs on my throat radiating out from my Adam's apple that have a grain that grows sidewards rather than down. End up either hacking the skin & leaving attractive red welts or leaving hairs I have to go over with a trimmer.

Those real men amongst you who dare to use a blade: what do you find is the optimum number of shaves per blade/set of blades? Three for me, certainly no more than four. Starts to not shave cleanly after that and I can feel it pulling.

Every other day with Gillette Fusion Soemthing. Hate it but must do it as my facial hair is ginger-brown-black and located in irregular patches

Think I've got four blades on my razor. Gets the job done.
