What sort of razor do you use?

[Cobra]

Just thinking, they were giving away free Wilkinson Sword Quattro razors in the students union a few weeks ago, but it failed to impress and I've gone straight back to my Mach 3. A lot of my friends did likewise - tried it, and then just binned it.

So, who uses what? Did the Quattro really fall flat on it's face? Is the Mach 3 the dog's doo-dahs?

Gillette Mach 3

Electric razor for me, unless I know I'm gonna be eating pussy later.

Where is the option for the Gilette M3Power razor?

[Ripper2860]

Mach3, baby !! Not sure if there is really any difference in the blades or closeness of the shave between the 2, I just think it's all really that the Mach3 has a superior lubricating strip and provides a more comfortable shave.

Haven't tried the battery powered vibrating one -- seems kinda hokey to me and potentially dangerous when shaving the "nether region".

It works well.

I do not shave my nether region.

It is meant for your face.

Don't be shavin' the boys. That's just wrong.

Mach 3

Used to use them, then the pharmacy where I worked were getting rid of some stock to staff and I bought a £120 Philips electric shaver for £10. I used it for about 2 months and then grew a six week beard for my medical final exams. When it came off (took about an hour with a trimmer and a razor) I'd gone back to the soft skin that only a razor and good soap can shave (electric shavers burn too much).

I was given a WS Quattro, but that protector guard just made me press harder - waste of time.

Back with the Mach 3 and Clinique shave cream.

The industry I work in requires that the "boys" be "slick as a whistle" as to avoid the occasional "brush fire" that could erupt during the fast-paced action leading up to the "money shot". I do it for insurance reasons and as a courtesy to my follow workers. That and the camera lights do make it rather hot and uncomfortable to be sporting my "winter coat".

Disposable. I have a beard but it's not full. I shave my cheeks and my neck below the chin on Mondays and Wednesdays. That gives me no more than 1 day of growth there on office days, since I don't ever go in on Fridays. I hate shaving, so any way I can minimize it is the way I go.

The disposables last me about 3 months, so I shave damn near for free I use shaving cream from a can, and the can usually lasts about 4 or 5 months

Got one of those battery hair trimmers which
works fine on the palms once a month.

Disposable sensitive skin razor, single blade. Anything else will destory my face. I only use each razor once, anything else will also destroy my face.

[ZAPPER]

I have had a beard and handlebars all my life. (my mother was tickeled when I was born) I do shave my neck and cheeks (face cheeks that is) as needed. I use a good old fashioned straight razor, a round cake of soap in a mug and a shaving brush to work the lather. I defy anyone to say that they can shave any closer than that! The trick is to keep the blade SHARP and I do mean sharp. If it gets dull you might as well rip your beard out with pliers. NEVER let the blade move length ways on your skin, it don't hurt, but you will need a Singer sewing machine to close the cut and a mop and wringer bucket to clean up the blood! I have seen an old Polish barber that could shave a brave man in about 2 seconds with a straight razor. Including inside the nostrals! (no extra charge for mole removal either) If I let things get a little wild I use the electric sheep shears to get the outline that I want and then go over that with the razor. I do have the hand powered shears but I ain't in no damb thrid world country and I pay the power bill on time so why work up a cramp in my forearms squeezing them damb things. I am currently sporting a mutton chop type cut. I like the way that the old English constables looked or an actor that played American Civil War General Chamberland in the movies. My wife hates it and it scares off stupid people, so I am going to keep it. Bikers don't **** with me, the cops don't **** with me and last week when I pulled jury duty the judge stood when I entered the room. I looked the prosicuter in the eyes and she started studdering and stammering, I looked the defence attorney in the eyes, and he started too. When the accused took the stand and I looked at him he started to cry, and said that he was sorry for what he had done and promised that he would never do it again. (almost a true story, I think that the defence lawyer studdered all the time anyways)
I can purse my lips to push my mustashe closer to my nose and smell what (or who) I ate last. I can get a drink at a water fountian and keep on drinking for 20' down the hall. My only regret is that an icecream cone makes one hell of a mess if I don't have a spoon!

Mach 3

[tekkieman]

Mach 3 on the face. Single blade disposable or womans razor on "other areas"

[Rookie64]

Disposable only - and use each once only.

When I started this poll, I was thinking about only facial hair.

Well then be more specific next time -- dammit!!!!

[Devanshu]

Mach 3 as well

[Goober57]

Lady Gillette.

Wait, what was the question again???

I use the mach3 when I skin my head, and a sensor for my face.

[Cobra]

Nobody for the Quattro then?

[Conquest10]

Mach 3 here, too.

[Shocker Milwaukee]

I almost started this thread a while back. I use Gilette Sensor, because it has less flex than the Mach 3, which gives me more control (less cuts & chaffing).
