Electric or safety razor?

[Richardp]

Electric or safety razor? I've tried electric shavers over the years but always come back to the disposable cos the leccy ones don't work for me, anyways, as I was shaving this morning it occurred to me that it was several years ago that I last tried one and maybe with the advancement in space travel, etc. that praps they have invented an electric shaver that works well? what do you know? no blow-lamp jokes please.

Can't see how an electric shaver would leave you with that clean fresh feeling you only get from a wet shave.

Hi Richard,

Because of my job I have to be clean shaven everyday, because of this I choose to use an electric shaver, but only because it'd take too long to have a wet shave every morning !!

Let me put it this way, the electric shaver does a job but if i'm going out or want a 'proper' shave then i'll have a wet one.

Why?

And why the term "clean shaven" - is it not possible to have a beard and be clean?

And why is it that so many people think it is necessary to shave the hair off the lower half of their head, sort-of-OK-but-slightly-odd to shave the hair off the upper half, and very odd to shave the hair from their legs or genital area?

Can anybody explain the logic?

I forgot that option.

Don't use one of those either.

If my razor was for shaving my genitalia.....it wouldn`t be called a cut- throat, would it?

In my opinion having seeing plenty of 'genital areas'.........shaving or hair removal in this area is very common - I started to observe this happening since the early 90's - it seems to be the fashionable thing to do.
Indeed I would say that more don't have hair there than do.

This is also becoming popular amongst men - as well as back, leg, chest and bum waxing.

Many people do it themselves or will go to a beauty salon for a 'brazilian'

When I have asked patients why they've had it done...........'surely it must hurt'........they all say the same thing........it's more hygeinic, they sweat/smell less in the area, and it's better when they have s*x.

Don't think it's a hygiene issue as in clean but more a feeling of being clean once it's all off?

I personally feel fresher and more happier to go to work or out having wet shaved i find wearing a beard is too hot in this weather and itchy

I don't like beards.

I think it stems from a story about a man who had a beard written by Roald Dahl........I can't remember what it was called...... but it was a bit scary......all sort of strange things lived in that beard!

cant beat a wet shave, especially if you take your time using warm flannels and a brush to put the foam on with. Mind you i quite like being lazy at the weekends and not shaving for a day or two

Had thought about having it turned thru 180 degrees and reaffixed.
