Wet shaving is the only way to get a clean shave.

They actually have classes for Wetshaving. A girlfriend I dated not so long ago bought me a Wetshaving course as a present. There is no better way to (wet)shave.

looks stupid.

everything progresses, even shaving. I get a fine shave with an electric.

maybe we should go back to morse code since that's how "real men" use to communicate :roll:

this whole "wet shaving is the purest manliest type of shave" is just ridiculous snobbery.

[QUOTE="XilePrincess"]I shave in the shower, is that the same thing?BiancaDK

I'm afraid not (I came into the thread thinking the same thing), but I suppose I'll give this wetshaving business a try. After reading an article about it just now, it actually sounds... Well, sensible.

great! gotta let me know how it goes

It isnt a matter of snobbery, it a way of appreciating a tradition that some of our fathers and grandfathers practised. Just like how some people drive older cars, or use a bow for hunting instead of a gun, ... or read books instead of kindle hahah

I've only had it done once, and it was one of the most amazing things I've ever felt.

[QUOTE="Unknownmuncher"]^^^ that would be a very cheap stater set, but thats all you need when you first start out, although i would recommend starting out with a safety razor before a straight razorcoolbeans90

Thanks for the links, and I'd already thought a Dovo would be the way to go. I'm tempted just to start with a straight razor...

You can, the only thing ive found and with discussing on other forums is there's a huge learning curve for a straight razor so you might be tempted to quit after a month since you'll most likely still be cutting yourself and not getting a super close shave. Id say after about 3 months with a straight razor you'll be pretty satisfied with your shave, prob after a month with a safety razor. Then again you can still use a regular razor and use traditional wetshaving cream, brush, and aftershave.

While I still use a Gillette Sensor razor, I use these and yes, I sprung for a silvertip badger brush. I get a closer shave than I did when I used Edge Shaving Gel.

My Shaving Gear.

I also have a smaller travel brush and travel case for my soap.

It is also quite sensual if you,,,,

Some of that technology is a little obsolete, don't you think? Anyway, I use the cheap flimsy Bic shavers, they are orange and white and made of plastic. I don't know if that counts as "wet shaving."

It looks awesome and I'd love to try it, but I don't want to take a chance of messing up. I don't want to slip while doing that and show up to school tomorrow looking like Two-Face.

you'll def look like two face for a few months, i started out by shaving usually on a sat night since i usually go out fri night. Had all sat evening and sunday to heal. I progressed to shaving a few more times per week before my face got completely use to it.

silvertip badger brushes are awesome! I switched from a pure hair badger brush, big difference.

I wetshave exclusively.

Protip : Arm & Hammer solid deodorant is the best aftershave product in the world. After you are done and have washed up hit your shaved area with a little of this and massage it into the skin. You will NEVER have any problems ever again.

I never have enough time to do it myself, but the barber I go to always does it for me. Probably my favorite day of the week.

You go to the barber once a week?

I dry shave with a manual. The idea of trying carefully pass a blade over a heavily lubricated surface has never seemed like a good idea to me and i prefer to actullar feel it working.
