I hate shaving every day

I have been shaving for over forty years and throughout I have been plagued with shaving cuts, the resultant bits of paper on my face and so the tiny red lines from them as the cuts heal during the day. This was due to a combination of a tough beard and softish skin.

No more! Now I use Gillette Shaving Foam for Sensitive Skin - it has a little lubricant in it to stop pulling at the skin, which is where and when your razor nicks and cuts

But the foam was not the full answer. I now have found the Gillette Fusion 5 bladed razor with a battery that vibrates the blade - the vibration again stops the razor being pulled up short. However, the best thing about it is that the blades leave no room between them for the skin to bulge around the blade, and so each blades slides over the skin and not into it.

The shave? I find that the next morning my bard is still so short from the shave the day before, I can hardly feel it!

I think I can count two shaving cuts over the past 18 months, and both were my own fault for digging into the skin at the top of my cheek where there was no hair anyway.

The blades last forever and altho each is expensive I believe they are worth it

Hey Dom I got some clippers and trimmed the hair it looked better could really see the definition so I went a step to far and forgot t put the guard on and removed the lot so had to finishe the lot removed I will let it grow back but keep it trimmed

suggestion them wolf man why don't you get some clippers them trim your chest hair down and you will see more of the definition but you will still have you chest hair and your wife will be happy

Does your wife not urge for a man with hair on his chest though my wife would hit the roof if I shaved it off. I also work out at the gym but agree can't see as much defenition because of the fuzz, but I am a man ansd men have hair, my wife likes it when I have an undone collar and the hair is visble

on the contrary wolf man my wife hates it and that is why I got rid off it and also you can see all of my hard work at the gym better than if you look like a chimp

well Dom your blades won't last as long as normal because you are shaving your entire torso as well, why don't you just accept you have got body hair and embrace it, ya big jessy. Men have chest hair period and you should see it over your shirt when it is undone it is manly, women like chest hair on therei men my wife loves strokeing mine, be a man and you blade will last a lot longer.

I agree with Pete shaving does not emasculate you some of us have to shave every day as stubble is not allowed in our place unless you advise the management that you are growing a beard. I also shave my chest but unlike you Pete I do the whole lot, surely when you have your shirt off you have a line where the hair stops. I agree that we do not have to allow hair to take over agree tame it. I use a Mach 3 from Gillette cost a fortune and do not last very long. Shaving a a complete pain but it is something we have to do.

I don't think shaving emasculates you it just stops you looking like you should be selling the big issue. I shave every day, yes it is choire but it has to be done. I also shave my chest at the top like Loose Tie. We have hair you just have to tame it.

Shaving emasculates you.

You are a man, and men grow hair out of their face (strange I know).

Save hundreds of quid a year on totally unethical razor blades (from an environmental standpoint) and instead opt for short stubble kept in trim by clippers which last years (because even the cheap ones have ceramic blades).

Hi Guys I use a gillette mach 3 they are quite good but again cost a small fortune and only get a couple of shaves out of them before they go blunt. I tend to have every other day and only if I am going out of a weekend it is a time consuming annoying thing to do. Do you guys ahve every day? I also shave the top half of my chest to prevent hair hanging out the top of my shirt when the collar button is undone with my tie.

Hi, I use a twin blade swivel head razor. They last for ages (replacement blades have gone rusty because I change them so infrequently) However I think the soap you use makes a difference, I use Imperial Leather. Also I double shave; 1st with the hair direction, then resoap(I L is creamier 2nd time around) 2nd shave against the hair direction. I only need to shave every other day. I found if I shave every day my skin gets really damaged

If you have more than an adolescent growth, these multi blade razors are not only expensive but fairly useless. Get a good quality double edge safety razor from www.suffolkspares.com and a few razor blades, something like Derby extras etc. After a little practice this will make your shaves better and much, much cheaper.
