    I like shaving foam, use the gillette lime one. thicker foam the better.

    I use the Gillette Fusion and I can go a really long time without switching blades.

    We should have a "What kind of facial hair do you have?" thread.

    Ever since I could grow facial hair (2 or so years ago) I've only been completely shaven twice. I just don't like how it feels or looks. For a while I didn't even shave my neck.. I looked like Rudy lol. But now i shave my neck with the norelco I mentioned above and I guess I have a thick "chinstrap" since it goes from side burn to side burn. No mustache.

    I don't grow facial hair too quickly or too thick. Easy shave.

    Scrotum-shaving is NO joke. It's the last thing that happens before the needle pokes, scalpel slices, knot tying, stitches and quality time sitting in front of the TV with ice packs on your nuts.

    Then you don't need to shave any more.

    I should just not joke about anything related to the human body.
    Sorry to hear about your scrotum.

    I'm going to take a look at some safety razors this weekend. We'll see how that is.

    they do that at my barbershop on the back of the neck. feels good. I'm going to start off with safety razors and if I feel more comfortable I'll go with that. sometimes I am careless with sharp objects.

    I'm bald so i shave my head and face often. I've thought about going for one. Might consider it when my stockpile of razors run out.
