Well, it hurts when I'm getting in close to where my beard stops. It like catches some of the beard hair, which hurts.

It's a preference. Some people like it black.

[QUOTE=Cocaine;15364676]CHECK US OUT, WE'RE PLAYING 3 TOTALLY DIFFERENT SONGS AT ONCE[/QUOTE]

There's just absolutely no sense of direction or melody (dissonant or no).

It's like a really really bad low-rent version of Psyopus. (Not that they're great either, but I do like them a little)

[QUOTE=Equus;15364695]why do people use shaving cream[/QUOTE]

It's better for your skin. My hair is fairly coarse I think. I also use after shave. That's probably pretty metrosexual, come to think of it. Maybe I should start shaving with just a cane knife and water.

EDIT: I wish my broadband cap would go away so I could watch the youtube video of Behold... The Arctopus' guitarist and bassist failing to play their own song.

"Hey, we're Behold... The Arctopus' and we're going to play for you Alcoholocaust.

*guitarist and bassist begin to play completely different songs*

i havent felt the need to use shaving cream

my skin gets a little irritated or red but that clears up after a couple hours

Am I wrong or doesn't shaving cream act like a buffer between the razor and your skin?

I only have to shave maybe once every few days, and I don't have full facial growth yet. :(

Under the jaw, a little on the chin and the upper lip are the only places that have started coming in.

The best way to get a great shave is using the right stuff.

[QUOTE]The perfect shave has three ingredients: a good razor, a good brush, and glycerin-based shaving cream. But the biggest difference between wetshaving and the way most guys shave today is the use of a shaving brush. A good badger-hair shaving brush is the single most important ingredient in getting the perfect shave -- if you change no part of your shaving routine except to add a good shaving brush to the mix, you’ll be astounded at how much better and more enjoyable your shaves become.[/QUOTE]

The brush is to apply the cream?

[QUOTE=Luc214;15364738]The brush is to apply the cream?[/QUOTE]

Yeah, and it's actual cream, not that foam ****. It comes in a tub container.

I use an electric razor, and just put gel on my face when I'm done. I hate bothering with cream and a manual razor, also it makes my face go crazy with acne.

You shave with the grain first, that clears off the shaving cream. You'll find the shaving cream softens the stubble and makes the razor "glide". Then you go up against the grain to get the shave even closer, without the shaving cream there.

I use a bottle and cacti to shave

a bottle of tequila of course i must add duh

A lot of aftershave is alcohol based, which is stupid. HEY GUYS LET'S MAKE SURE YOUR SKIN IS DRIED OUT EVEN MORE AFTER SHAVING!

I use a really thick cream, none of that frothy crap. But I haven't yet procured a badger brush.

I want to get a nice set-up (Badger brush, better cream, safety razor) but I havent gotten around to it.

I didn't realize the razor was so important... I just use a gilette mach 3.

But I don't have much to shave yet. :p

I use soap.

i use a bic razor lol

I think, to be honest, I'm too lazy to do the badger brush routine. It is definitely awesome, I once volunteered for a shaving at the local TAFE with this apprentice barber (a girl, funnily enough). Badger brush, that really smooth cream they use and a cut-throat razor. Best shave ever.

I'vebeen using the same razor for 2 months.

I use an electric. /woman

[QUOTE=pate;15364848]I use an electric. /woman[/QUOTE]

Electric razors are so much nicer though, its way more convenient too, I guess its a personal preference thing though.

Do you do your bikini line too, Angmar?

Give the kid a break, he's only 8.

No :)

I go Brazilian.

I go nude.

I take photos. :nau:

lol high school musical

It moisturizes the hair as well. Most people who don't use it shave in the shower which gives a similar moisturization.

I can't believe the local indie scene.

It sounds like old bands and almost as generic and copypasta versions of music that I find original and fun, except watered down and mexicanized.

Ugh.

That's everywhere dude.

Minus the Mexican part.

I use an electric....trimmer ^_^

Me too.

I use an acoustic trimmer.

It works with frequencies.

Tojes lies he's an electrical engineer so obviously everything he uses is electric.

Electrical engineers are important in this society.

I am important it's true.
