Shaving

[dmclone]

After use a Mach 3 for the last few years I thought I would try something different.

I just got a Merkur heavy classic safety razor
Merkur double edge SS platinum blades
Proraso shaving cream
Boar Hair brush

I hope I don't slice open my face.:frown:

I still use barbasol and a straight razor that I slap against a strip of leather.

Shaving.........sucks!

Shaving is like women. Pretty cool the first couple times you do it, then just a pain in the *** for the rest of your life.

I really liked the mach 3 but cant spend the money anymore. I have been buying Schick 3 blade throwaways lately. much cheaper and do a good job.

Does anyone have that razor sharpener I see on tv? I wonder if that thing works.

Oh yeah? Do you break it off too?

I bought a bunch of Mach 3's off ebay for about 1/2 price.

Anybody know where you can get a barber shop style hot towel shave in Des Moines?

Ooooh, I should check that out. I never think to look at ebay for such things.

Does Monty give a hot towel shave in Ames?

I still use Gillette Sensor Excel. Tried other ones including the Mach 3 and just don't like how it feels like it "tugs" on your skin more than the SE does.

I only shave when my wife starts ********. I use the nifty vibrating mach 3. The blades last much longer when you don't use them.

I bought a throw away pack of Schick Quattro razors and was really suprised how good they were. I usually use the Mach 3 but were out of the blades for it so I decided to get these. I may have to switch to these from now on.

Does the vibration really do much to help the shave? Seemed like a gimick to me.

I use mach 3 as well but i am thinking of getting an electric. for in between shaves. Are there any good ones that dont cost more than 100.

I don't mean this to be a smart *** answer, but any Barbershop should be able to give you that shave.

I Haven't lived in Des Moines for about 15 years now, but I can't imagine a barber shop is that hard to find. I used to go to Ron's Barber shop on the South side - Army Post Road, when I lived there.

The only place I could find a couple years ago was the barber college. Cheap and a pretty good job.


To 94 - youd be surprised. I dont know who my wife all checked with but at least a few places wouldnt do one.

I have asked 4 different places and none do them anymore. The Signature Male used to but the ONE person they had that would do them quit...

I thought the same thing until my friend came to visit and accidentally left the vibrating mach 3. Since I had the regular mach 3, the blades fit the vibrating one so I decided to try it. Otherwise I never would have even considered buying one.

Surprisingly it does make a difference. I have really coarse facial hair and it seems to get a closer shave than the non vibrating razor.
