work help: A Close Shave, - Help.com

haha i use my brothers razon & i’m a girl. its not cuz i have hairy legs or anything, but b/c of the fancy 4 blade cut with the gel pads on the side. =D

depends in who is asking, they work for the people making them, cause they bring in the money, its just another way that we are sucked into comlicating our lives with gadgets and stuff that is supossedly ment to make our lives easier, but all they do is clutter up the bathroom. dam this reply is too deep and depressing to be any help to the question about razors. sorry papa!

I believe it’s more on like giving more convenience to all the kinds of needs for each consumer’s satisfaction.

i must admit this post is making me feel better. thank u Papa Bear.

yeah and i say that pic of a shave really rocks! LOL

I have never seen a razor as. . . . . manly as your one papa! LOL

Makes a huge difference. I use the Vibrating, 5 bladed Gillete Fusion (with a single sixth blade on the flip side for detailing, and difficult spots). It is an ultrasonic, super slick, high speed, low drag, piece of engineering which has brought much enjoyment to my life. If I try using a regular old one or two blade model now, it hurts to shave, and I get horrible razor burn.

lol…I think 5 is enough, but then again, I thought three was enough a couple years ago.

BTW, did you ever see that old Saturday Night Live(I think) skit, where they intorduced a razor with like 7 blades that cut consistantly closer to the skin, but when they showed the little cartoon depiction of the face getting shaved, the hair was getting cut closer and closer, and eventually the skin was get getting ripped off, and the person shaving was bleeding out of control…lol Ha, that was funny.

I just keep my beard at the stage of longish stuble, and trim it once a week or so with an electric hairclipper. It beats shaving every morning. I’ve never had any patience for that chore. I like my facial hair, and will wear it the rest of my life, socially acceptable or not.

P.S. What’s up, Papa Bear?

dude i dont really know about those razors,beats me

Heh heh, I use an antique double edge safety razor. I have tried some of the new ones and they just don’t do a good job.

This is similar to the two I have;

My brother uses those as well. His skin is very sensitive and he says nothing works as well as those. He actually prefers the old “barber’s razors”, those things that look like a little machete or something? But I don’t think he can find replacement blades for them.

If I shave, I prefer a two blade, non swivel head razor. But my hair is really fine, so it’s not difficult to remove. And I’ve started using Veet, which is so easy and lasts several days longer than shaving. But I don’t think it works on manly stubble. :/

How safe it is? I suppose it’s about as safe as any other chemical we rub into our skin. Some people do have bad reactions to it, so it should be used with caution and tested before applying on a large area of skin.

However, I have incredibly sensitive skin. There are so many things I can’t use, from lotions, to soaps, to acne creams, makeup, etc. But this doesn’t bother me at all. Of course, it is applied on my legs, not my face where my skin is most sensitive.

I also don’t use it all the time. I kind of alternate between shaving and veet. But mostly b/c the veet is expensive!

I dunno, but you would think a vibrating razor blade would cause you to nick yourself wouldnt’ it?

threading works for me… well for my eyebrows :P

i used veet =]

hey papa bear get a new shaver, you need a gelate phantom (it has viberating mations and that makes it easier to shave so theres not as much pain to shaving) I think they are AWSOME but I would like to have you opinion.

Give me a shout we need to message more together ( if possible)

haha they do. but they made the blades less durable so you have to buy them more often. clever. the 4 razors give you the CLOSEST shave possible and the vibrations.. uh. well they… you know ….. exfoliate ;-D

i think 0 is enough,
honestly what is the point in shaving

They have five blades now… And one on the back! :D

i dont know. i havent even shaved yet…
