The yellow handled Bic razors. The dual/triple blade ones just seem to get in the way for me.

I shave every other day (usually) with a Mach 3. I have a light (and relatively sparse) beard so I can get away with every other day. :)

mach 3 or a weed-wacker, whatever is at hand. i haven't shaved for 5 days now and i am starting to resemble the aforementioned lumberjack (minus the plaid flannel of course *shudder*).
hmmm, my dad's always used a rotary electric (Norelco something), so that's what he gave me when I was growing up. Never learned how to shave with a non-electric, but I'm gonna hafta learn because when I let it go for a few days, the electric razor pulls on the hair and it hurts!
Is it as easy as the movies, apply shaving cream generously, then lightly press blade against your jugular and go upwards (and downwards on your face)?

AC, I didn't know you shaved.
I us the Shick FxDiamond. That thing whips through my beard with ease thanks to an industrial grade diamond edge. I've shaved with a Mach 3; the FxDiamond was able to pick up hair that the Mach 3 already shaved.

I use a rotary electric usually every day, but about once a week I treat myself to the smooth comfort of a Mach 3 Turbo

I use a Mach 3 or when I run out of blades my Sensor Excel. I have one of those new fangled electric razors but my facial hair is too thick to get into the screens so it doesnt work for me.
Also, flannel is bad? What! Damn, there goes my entire wardrobe!:bonk:

Sensor Excel is the old reliable. I remember it when it was just the Sensor. Ahhh, the good-old days.

This swede needs to shave
http://www.crankers.org/featured/beard/stag.jpg
I'm sure you've already read the story about his beard:eek:
Story (http://www.crankers.org/featured/beard/beard.php)
In Sweden it is a bit of a custom for the groom to be kidnapped and whisked off somewhere for his stag night - these usually last all day and all night. Rather than the typical English stag night where you all arrange it beforehand, go out get drunk and hire a stripper, the Swedes do it differently. The groom has no idea until he gets nabbed. He might be dressed up in something crazy, and go do something fun - and then the fun starts!
This particular guy is a keen sailor and when he was kidnapped for his stag night they pasted a false "skippers-beard" on him and put him at the helm of a 60 foot yacht and let him be skipper for the day - much beer and fine food was consumed. But nothing nasty happened to him at all.
In the evening when they got back on land and were getting cleaned up for the night club, they all had a sauna as is customary in Sweden.
Imagine the groom's horror when he walked into the sauna where his naked buddies were waiting for him to see that best mate number one had no hair on his genitals. Neither did friend two, or three, or four

:heh: :bigmouth: :heh: That's funny. I once shaved using my Ka Bar and it worked. Not real well and it left me in a bad way but the hair was gone. Man looking back on that - what a stupid thing to do. :bandit:

I used to shave with a screened electric most days, and a Mach 3 once a week. But...
... a month ago I went on a week vacation and decided to give my face a break during the week. After that week, I was enjoying not shaving so I decided to let my beard grow again. (It's probably been 15 years or more since I grew one.)
I've got a picture of one month's growth that I'll upload as soon as that lemonizer administrator get's on the stick. ;)
On another note, the Cubs are leading San Diego 1 to 0 in the bottom of the 7th. Go Cubbies!!! :)

Oh I shave just to keep the wispys from growing. I haven't shaved for a month and it looks absurd, but I am trying to grow a beard.

Ok, as promised, here is my one month growth.

A bit (actually, a lot) more gray than past times I've grown my beard.
And, I should add: the Cubs won 3-0! :D

The pic in your post looks like your avatar... :D Geeze for me to look like that I'd need to abstain from shaving for about 30 years...

I like the Mach 3 but i still can't get super close and get off all the stubble. Anyone have any suggestions?

Straight edge and peanut butter.........
When Im stuck in the wilderness without any other options.
I got in on one of those nice electric shaver deals and I use mach 3's when I need it closer.

Huh. Everyone seems to like their Mach 3s. The ads really turned me off to them, but maybe I'll have to give them a try. I voted Sensor Excel, but then realized that I actually use an Atra somethingorother. I would use a Schick Protector, but I can't find blades for it anymore! :(
