Man I hate shaving, I have a very light beard so really can’t grow it out and have the cool looking beard. Last Christmas my wife bought me a nice little brush and soap container to lather up with. So far this beats any shaving cream from a can or tube I ever have used. Does not help that I still hate shaving but at least it makes the chore easier.

Yeah, it's just another daily chore. Kinda like brushing your teeth before bed - you don't really want to do it but you want it done.

Just be happy you don't have my type of skin, shave just the wrong way and face looks like a mine field and I'm spending a hour or two with sewing needle plucking out ingrown hairs .... Got one of those lil clipper sets though makes life alot easier

If I had that much trouble I'd just grow a Grizzly Adams type beard, WD. Run that past the wife and see what she thinks.

The only shaving that has been done on me since '77 was a nurse prepping me for surgery a time or two. Kept the beard trimmed with clippers while I was on someone elses payroll but quit that when I retired. Just trim the stash so I can get food in the pie hole now. Never intend to shave again.

Those brushes work, you use the hot towel wrap too like a barber?, supposed to make shaving even easier...

I haven't shaved in over 30 years though. I don't have a heavy beard so I just run the hair clipper through it on the smallest setting, same with what hair I have left, lol, kinda a scruff look I guess, but I don't have to look good...I'm married. grin

Tried a blade a couple times to learn and ended up each time looking like a cat fight had a party on my face !!

I don't grow breads either all white now, but use an electric shaver, smooth and fine, quick as sunshine
Never did go back to a blade of any sort, my buddy tried to teach me how to use a straight razor, and I about cut my own throat so that stopped right there as well !!

I shave only with 140 year old straights

Have Badger and Boar brushes

Do yourself a favor and get a puck of Tebac soap...and a puck of Mitchells Wool Fat soap

Quit shaving in '72, my hair grows in swirls and it hurt too much! Caused a lot of trouble for me in the military.

just don't shave , set the clippers tight and buzz it if it won't grow long


OK I will see my self out now , I haven't shaved in 27 years , no intention to , hated it , and have a big beard Santa clause might be jealous of , it isn't white but the sides are going grey.

I only shave about two times a week. 3-4 days my whiskers get itchy and its time. I like the hot towels of a barber but shaving right after a shower without drying my face softens em up just fine.

Every time I shower, I scrape it all off my face. The military ruined my opinion on facial hair.


Go outside and do stuff.
