Shaving - wet or dry?
 
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?

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

electric beard razor without the depth adjustment once a week :thumb:

Gillett mach 5 for me, also have a istubble but prefer a wetshave although hate the prices of the blades

Simon C 30 May 2011 03:47 PM

Always wet here, using a Merker andd badger brush. Yes old school but soooo much better results than the Gillette I was using.



Oh and blades are pence too :D

Ant 30 May 2011 04:06 PM

Always wet shave , gillete 5 blade thingy ma jig and that mint fresh shaving foam things .

Make my face feel so fresh after

mamoon2 30 May 2011 04:10 PM

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

Chip 30 May 2011 04:33 PM

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.

500 30 May 2011 06:15 PM

Wet here, Gillette Pro Fusion and Clinique Face scrub, Aloe gel then post shave healer :thumb:

Jamescsti 30 May 2011 06:15 PM

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

gpssti4 30 May 2011 07:03 PM

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.

hux309 30 May 2011 07:37 PM

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.

stevebt 30 May 2011 08:49 PM

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 30 May 2011 08:58 PM

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 :Suspiciou

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.

RobsyUK 31 May 2011 10:41 AM

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 31 May 2011 10:44 AM

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.

Les

phoenixgold 31 May 2011 01:35 PM

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 !
