cuebald said:I use a fusion (as I was bought it) - I shave in the shower every morning, it takes at most 5 minutes.
I only have hair on my neck and none on my actual face, and it's not very thick.
I shave against the grain as it gets much closer.
I never really nick myself and I seem to have smooth enough skin.
1 Fusion cartridge/blade will last me about two months; the last time I bought a pack of 4 blades was in Winter. If I had to swap out the blades every week I'd buy something else. (but I don't understand why people's blades only last a week or so. What are their beards made out of? iron?)
I agree that Electric Shavers aren't much cop. If I shave with one, it feels like I've gone an entire day without shaving with a blade - they don't shave close enough - they leave about a day's worth of stubble behind.
I know a few very hairy guys (complete with NW1's... bastards) - one of them will go for a shave, and will come out with what seems more stubble than I can grow in 3 days.
I started shaving at about the age of 20. As my beard came in, my hair went out.
2 months with one blade?? :shock:
If I shave about 3 times a week, which is about how often I need to, It won't last more than 3 weeks. I have a friend who also only grows hair on his neck and not face and he's 27 and about Norwood 3. I have a hairy face. I started growing a mustache at 12 and it was pretty thick by 14/15. Sideburns and chin hair started growing at around 15 and at about 17/18 my neck and cheeks grew hair. By the time I was 20 I had a hairy chest a full beard. I hate being hairy. I'm drinking spearmint tea in hopes to reduce it. It might be my imagination but I think my beard and body hair grow slower since I started taking finasteride.
