    Default The wet shave

    I guess like many men I learned to shave by mimicking what my father did and trial and error. Here is a set of youtube videos on how to do the traditional wet shave. The hardest part is finding the time to do it "properly".





    and single blade razor techniques

    Okay, can someone call an ambulance please? I'm going to need about 5 litres of A- blood. And a new face.

    Can I use a cat fur brush? May as well make use of what's all around this place.

    Look this shaving business sux. I need a face wax or something. Don't want a beard now, don't want a beard ever.

    Why can't I go bald on my face instead of the top of my head? Could the person that finds a cure for baldness also find a way of creating baldness on my face please. Thanks in advance.

    learjet you could always get a hair transplant using your own body hair.
    problem is you will be carrying a map of tassie ontop of your head.

    dont like shaving, do what ive done for the last six months, let it grow and use a electric beard trimmer once a week.

    my wife tells me i look like sean connery now with the white hair beard.

    my hair dresser calls it platinum blond. damm it, i now get all the blonde jokes thrown at me.

    The big george technique:
    1. Always Dry shave, before shower.
    2. Grind off most of the stubble with electric shaver.
    3. Pick up the triple bladed, gel stripped wonder razor and slash off the stubborn ones. DRY shave, never wet, moist, etc.. NFG.

    I've never cut myself this way and it shaves me so well I only have to do it twice a week. The blades for the wonder-razor thingy seem to last about 2 months.

    Couldn't be bothered with all that badger hair, whipping up meringue cream in a mug, blah blah... Pff.
    Dry shave, grind it all off. Yee har!

    Hehehhee.

    Facial hairs are pubes.

    Pubes aren't affected by the most common causes of baldness.
    There are so many causes though, so it's kinda hard to stop it from happening.

    I think your genes have a lot to do with it too, if your dad went bald you have a pretty good chance I reckon.

    I shave daily. You really have to. If not it grows back and starts itching.

    And nobody wants to see a grown man grabbing his crotch every 30 mins

    A little shaving trivia, I once worked for 3M the makers of Scotch products etc, any way a lot of thier top products were developed by accident.
    So true story, the guy that invented Wet n Dry sand paper had no intention of using it in a panel beaters shop but instead was meant to be an alternative to shaving with a blade. It is said that he continued to use wet n dry paper for shaving to the day he died.
