So what do you do?

I have been using an electric razor (Braun one that comes with it's own washing machine!) for years. I left it in a hotel in the US last month and will not get it back until this week. In the interim I tried on of those battery powered vibrating wet razors.

It is really excellent - so what do you guys do?

If you wet shave what do you use - I have been using King of Shaves gel?

Cheapest gilette blue II and the soap that I use in the shower

I have a medium strength beard. I now use a £25 Remington rechargeable battery job which is just as good or better than my old expensive Braun. If I then have a shower I finish off using a cheap throwaway BIC razor. Does the job every time and doesn't cost. Can't stand those heavyweight 8 blade Gillette things. dl

Number one on the beard trimmer. Never take it all off.

Gillette Fusion and Gillette Gel does it for me. If I use a cheap BIC type I look like I've been attacked with a machete.

When I have to shave (for work), Gillette Pro Fusion razor with Boots soap bowl and a brush. Inbetween I just keep it down with my I stubble.

I used to wet shave with a Wilkinson and Sword Quattro, now I use a Phillishave electric job once or twice a week while i'm watching tv usually

Wet shave with a cheap Bic, changing it once a week - only about 10p each anyway. Gillette soap with a brush, leave for a couple of mins to get the beard nice and soft. I always shave against the grain and it's really smooth - for a couple of hours anyway.

Atm with a gillette bostonian, a shark super chrome blade. Some mitchells wool fat, arko or provence sante soap, and a new forest tubby 2 brush.

Also a splash of pinaud clubman or aqua velva musk goes down a treat.

Yes i milk the whole event.

Oh and a merkur 37g slant at times.

I try both but I always think an electric shaver is hopeless, buy the best gilette razors and they always give a quality shave.

hux309

Aww it is worth it, and easy to get into.

Bear in mind i've been doing it a while, or so i've been told

Been using a Philishave rechargeable for many years, does the job for me.

Tried wet shaving a few times and I always seems to end up with bits of bog roll strategically stuck to my face. Not got the smoothest of skin mind. None of the hassle with the electric.

I use my braun mostly but at times i have to swap to a blue tesco own throw away. anyone else stuggle with an electric to get the hairs on your neck ? I don't have a large adams apple but the only way I can get the hairs is with a blade..

I pluck some of my stubble as they are over 1mm thick !

Leslie

I have always used a razor for a wet shave. Could never get a decent shave with an electric one.

Th vibrating ones with multiple blades are very good as you say, and the blade lasts for a long time too.

Always wet shave. Tried electric, but my whole neck turned into a bright red blotch. Gillette Mach3 and Gillette Gel. Thinking about trying the new 5 blade one a mate got one last week and reckons it is actually better. I thought it was all marketing BS !
