For those of us that shave
I tried that abomination the gillette fusion, damn thing is brutal. I'm no fry cook but when it comes to the face and a razor I think smaller is better for maneuvering.
A plus is that my gf picked me up some nivea for men shaving gel. Awesome stuff.

I use the typical 3 blade razor. First shave is always sharp and therefore easier to make tiny cuts. After a couple uses, it dulls a bit and the shave is much better. I replace the blade like ever 4 or 5 months, since I shave like once every 3 days.

LOL Charles, you don't have enough facial hair to justify being in this thread kidding my friend
real talk though, I think the Fusion is the greatest thing ever! I used to use the Mach 3, but the Fusion is above and beyond the greatest. Haven't tried the powered version yet, I heard it shaves super super close.
Yes Nivea Aftershave Balm is a must also. Been using that for about 3 years now.

mach 3 is what I use....head, face and nether regions...the fusion I really liked that single blade came in handy for detail work but the mach 3 and a gillette sensor excel are sufficient for me...I have once a week...anything more is irritating to my skin
as for aftershave...I stay away from balms they make my skin to oily...so I use aquavelva cool blue or whatever...get a nice sting on from that.and then ROC facial moisturizer
charles...your blades last 4-5 months? hahahaha wow!

The single blade is useless for me, I just find the whole thing crazy hard to use. If I didn't get it for free I would have never used it. I like the sensor excel, 2 blades and lube strip. As for moisturizing, well the Viche for men with vitamin C kicks some serious ace.

I use the Gilette disposables for sensative skin and Aveeno shaving cream. For aftershave, I use a water based moisturizer from Bio-Therm. Personally, I feel that a quality shaving cream is more important then the type of blades used. The Mach3 and Fusion are way to much $$$ for what they are.
I also shave while in the shower where the steam softens the stubble.

I use the mach three and i have to change the blade every 4 shaves. I've used the fusion with the vibe crap and it does shave better then the mach three. The more blades do seem to be better as stupid as it sounds. once i finish these mach 3 blades, i'm stepping up to another razor. For the shaving medium, I use gilette gel for sensitive skin.

Quattro yo! 4 blades of cutting power.
my skin suffers regardless; I hate shaving. So i usually just use a trimmer and shave to a nice stubble.
but that Nivea stuff is the best lotion i've ever used. not to smelly, not too greasy.

I will tell you right now, electric sucks!
Now that I got that off my chest, I use Mach 3 turbo and Nivea shaving gel. Best shaving cream imo and I actually got that recommended from someone on this board a couple of years ago. I will have to look up the thread one day.
I shave every other day or every two days, just to give my face a break. I have gillette aftershave. Best thing to do regardless of what you use is aftershave.

I don't mind the foil electrics, they work better for me than the circular cutters. Usually use my excel and go over anything I missed with the electric. My barber is black and he was saying something about how blacks are more prone to ingrown hairs. Is that why you don't shave often Cyn?
#18
man I can't use either type of electric, they both feel like I'm tatooing my face. not to mention I break out in crazy irritation the next day!!
as for type of shaving cream, I use Nivea sensitive skin gel. I used the Aveeno before, I prefer the Nivea.

I personally hate shaving, simply because of the irritation, but I have a pretty good routine that seems to work fine.
I first use some Neutrogena gentle face scrub. Then I apply the Edge shaving gel, and I shave using a Mach 3. After that I use the Old Spice after shave, followed with neutrogena face lotion.
Seems to keep the face pretty un-irritated, although not completely. At least there is no rash/bumpage happening.

I usually use a Gillette Mach 3 Turbo, the last time I went in the grocery store didn't have the replacement blade so I'm using Gilette disposables. As far as shaving cream, I use Nivea. Actually all my skin care products are Nivea. Stuff smells real good too.
