The Weekly Gripe

Men be shaving badly

I hate shaving every day

Men be shaving badly - its a close shave!

You women have got it easy you know. I know we don't have to shave every day, but sometimes it is expected and the rip of price they charge for razor blades makes this practice very expensive.



Every morning I take a shower and like most guys we tend to shave in the shower. I sometimes end up with a few cuts though because the blade has become blunt. Why are razor blades so expensive? It’s a rip off!

21-3-2008I 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 Gillet...moreJim Murray

07-2-2008Does 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 v...moreWolf man
03-2-2008on 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 chimpDom
03-2-2008well 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...moreWolf Man
03-2-2008I 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...moreDom
21-1-2008I 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.Pete
11-1-2008Shaving 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 on...moresas
23-11-2007Hi 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 ...moreLoose Tie
13-9-2007Hi, 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 ...moreripga
24-7-2007If 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 an...moreBob
