What's the thinkpad of electric shavers?
>>108847026Shaving your beard is like injecting HRT
I have both the Philips OneBlade for chopping down the thick stuff and general body hair trimming, then I use the Panasonic Arc5 for keeping a clean shave on the neck/face day to day.

>>108847026None of these actually shave down to the skin so they really should be called trimmers.You buy them if you're trying to maintain the perma stubble look or are gonna follow up with a real razor.

>>108847142it would be very painful.
>>108847146Electricity is for youngsters, real man use real razors.
>>108847264No but you can buy a cheap Chinese version that works exactly like a $200 version.

>>108847336>nah only upper lip hurts a bit and you can always do lidocaine and a palexia if needed.i speak from experience and no, it's one of the most painful things i've ever experienced and i've been gravely wounded at different points in my life. but, I used topical lidocaine and won't accept opioids. also, you must be at least 18 years or older to post on this website. https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/baneposting
>>1088473141) never happens to me2) they were called "safety razors" for a reason. A skin nick is not the same as an artery slice.
>>108847030Eh. I have thick mustache and chin beard, but my cheeks are spare and patchy. I have to shave them.
>>108847358I'm also speaking from experience which I guess shows there's high variability. I just raw dog my electrolysis when I get it done. it was more painful than my tranny surgeries to be honest>>108847380clean up the bad spots permanently so you can rock cooler styles with less maintenance
>>108847026I have a Philips Oneblade similar to that in the pic and I only use it for shaving my legs. It's ok I guess. Not sure if there are any better options in a similar price range, but I got it because of the positive reviews.For my face and everything else I use regular Gillette disposable razors.
>>108847417if you're shaving your legs you might as well get an epilator. a bit painful the first time but long term it is better for your skin and you also don't get itchy as the hair grows back
>>108847030kek.
>>108847430>you also don't get itchy as the hair grows backThat sounds good, I didn't know that. It seemed like it would hurt like a bitch in general and if it messed up, the regrowth phase would be even worse. But yeah, that's the most annoying part of it, and having to do it every week. I've been thinking about laser treatments but I heard mixed reviews about how permanent it is. They're also very expensive.
>>108847264all the cheap $10-20 hair trimmers have a percentage battery indicator and USB-C charging while more expensive philips garbage doesn't.>>108847430it's 2026, just IPL your gross male hair till it's gone
>>108847417How close is the shave with a oneblade?it always seemed like a product meant to make you keep buying consumables, is it any better than ceramic trimmers that purposefully stop at 1mm from the skin so you can't nick yourself?
>>108847026>thinkpadThere's plenty of cheap junk razors
>>108847026Just get a regular ass disposable safety razor you faggot.
>>108847551soepilators don't hurt that much after the first time. they also slightly reduced regrowth but not by muchlaser - a shit technician will have you doing infinity sessions. a good place will be done in like 3 or 4 sessions (trans run is better than the normal clinics since they need actual results for surgery and stuff)electrolysis is the only permanent method since it properly kills the hairs but is slow. the general thought is if there must not be hair there it has to be electrofor laser pricing you often want Groupon deals or stuff like that. should be about $40 per session for face, $200 for full body.>>108847562I have heard so much mixed results about IPL and I can't find any good evidence on it
>>108847277you're a big guy
>>108847593>How close is the shave with a oneblade?pretty dang close, it's great if you've got really sensitive skin and no razor or technique seems to do it>it always seemed like a product meant to make you keep buying consumablesit is, i've always felt it was despicably priced and the consumables were deliberately fragile but it works and is readily available>is it any better than ceramic trimmers that purposefully stop at 1mm from the skin so you can't nick yourself?it's better than any trimmer i've used, but i was never really a shaving snob. you CAN nick yourself with a oneblade but it's not that bad and is kind of hard to do.
>>108847593It is close, a lot closer than the trimmers that stop at 1mm. More comparable to a razor. You have to shave against the grain with it, but it's clean and you can't cut yourself with it and you can work pretty quickly.It is a product that makes you keep buying overpriced blades, though I only got it 3 months ago and haven't had to replace it.
>>108847593It's serviceable. You only get it because it's easy to use and you don't need wet shave or anything. Shit like OP's foil ones will rape your skin and the radial ones are hit or miss, and you should probably do them wet too.
>>108847302Skill issue
how do you guys shave your balls?i hate having body hair
>>108847302I bought 50 razor blades in 2019 for $12 and only used half by now
>>108847414ywnbaw desu
>>108847810use an electric trimmer to trim as much as possible then use a DE, pull the skin taut and shave carefully with a fresh blade, you're more likely to cut yourself with a dull blade since it forces you to push into the skin to cut anything.>>108847834the last 10-20 years have completely evicerated men's social capital and given it to women while also worshipping the ground they walk on, i don't blame men at all for wanting to troon out, at all.
>>108847810just use nair, they make men's strength that won't burn your balls and anus if you're careful
>>108847810Just grab your sack and pull it tight until it is like a fleshy sheet of paper then use a regular disposable razor on it
>>108847677the fuck, America is so cheap. Here laser costs $150 per session just for your legs.
>>108848050yeah but in exchange you pay $2500/mo for rent if you don't want to share an 1bed 1bath apartment with like 8 other people
>>108848050nah I'm not American
>takes regular batteries so it will basically never go bad (just use rechargeable batteries and recharge them)>90% as effective as a bladeI'm only posting this cus I literally just saw this image on my desktop today and remembered posting it a long time ago.Remington foil shaver or some shit like that.
>>108848190dont you have to replace the blades on those
ok real shit I'm going to be working at an arctic research station and need something durable and rechargeable, what should I get? the braun? I've never used an electric shaver before in my life.
>>108848257huh....I never have, but I do see replacements available (for double the price of the shaver lol, shaver's only $18).
>>108847026I know it is annoying when people suggest an alternative (like the good old stackoverflow answers) but I heavily recommend to just trim your beard with a regular hair clipper and leave some stubble. I go over my beard with a 3mm guard, and then do the patchy edges without a guard so it is really close to shaving.>>108847810>>108847877>>108847891Does it make sense to manscape on a clean-shaved-level when I have hairy thighs, buttcheeks, taint, and anus? It is basically a continuous carpet (with different shades of yellow and orange) below my belly button in the front and below my beltline in the back. I think it would look weird if my ballsack is clean-shaved dangling between hairy thighs. Right now I just trim with a clipper.I am also considering shaving the entirety of my body just because I have huge bald spots on my thighs (pic related not me, but similar). The only thing stopping me is that I will probably have to spend an hour or two every day shaving.I thought about laser as well but apparently it doesn't work for light hair.
>>108848674touching up stubble with a trimmer is way easier than shaving regularly, body hair isn't nearly as dense or thick
>>108847026Philips BT57xx for the beard and OneBlade for the balls
Let me guess
>>108847302I've tried everything to use one of these;> shave after a warm shower to soften the hairs> lather up with shaving cream> keep the angle at all timesI still end up cutting my face in a few spotsIs this just the curse of having steel wool for facial hair or am I doing something wrong?
>>108847562Say goodbye to your fertility
>>108847302I use that exact razor, fellow connoisseur.
>>108847026I shave my face and head with an electric, brawn serie 9 is awesome. I changed the blade a few time.One blade is a scam outside of detail grooming it loves drawing blood. Regular Philips tend to be too aggressive on my skin.
>>108847026Mine’s in the right tee hee
>>108847026if it doesn't have a replaceable standard AA or whatever battery that you can find in any 7/11, it ain't no thinkpad.

>>108850578No I really dont want the entire country to be California. I promise.
>>108850573I have never heard anyone say invirile. male fertility is absolutely a thing, and the word you're actually looking for is fercundity no?
>>108847280>Electricity is for youngstersThinkpads are electronic though
>>108850593it happens eventually or else stagnation leads to council rot and lower qol. I'd rather my neighbours be tech bros than my streets be cracked up
I'm not asking for a lot. Just sell me an electric razor with a battery that works plugged in and attachments that clip on. My razor's battery is dead so I have to shave fast before the battery dies. The assholes as Braun intentionally made it ewaste because the minute I plug it in it turns off and goes into charging mode. I can't just run it off of wall power. And the guard/attachments I use slide on (and slide off!) instead of clipping on. They've been making these pieces of shit for decades and haven't resolved basic usability issues.
>>108850599>I have never heard anyone say invirileYeah because its called "sterile">fercundityyou know you can check a dictionary before embarrassing yourself? Fecund is a synonym for fertile and it describes females. Eggs get fertilized. Sperm do not get fertilized. Soil is fertile. Seeds are not fertile.

>>108847562>device literally counts the number of flashes and bricks itself when it reaches a number>the area you can treat with 1 flash is very small, so treating larger areas becomes a humiliation ritualThis is printer ink-cartridge tier bullshit lol

>>108850661So do laser printer drums but you can still use them with decreased efficiency after their rated lifetime if you're not cucked artificially
>>108850646I lived in suburbia for like 14 years and it fucking sucked. white trash neighbours blasting music a block over or three doors up that's so loud the windows shake, a murder one street up, dickhead hoons. and it's in a place where the minimum buy in is now at about a million. now I live in a suburb close to the city with an buy in of 3 million and it's so much nicer. it's simply the truth, poor neighbours attract poor personalities.
>>108849268I just grabbed am example photo. I shave with a Yaqi Henson clone like picrel, got weak facial hair so I gotta shave the pedostache and cheek blotches to upkeep a thin neckbeard to look presentable.
>>108850463Why not? It looks and feels better.
>>108847026I'm quite content with my Philips Oneblade. The battery lasts forever so the proprietary charging port isn't as annoying as it could be.
I have a Braun Epilator because I'm not a pussy bitch
>>108847146>>108847302Safety razor and Wahl Peanut, goated, use every day
>>108849024Very short, light strokes. Like 1-2cm per stroke, with the grain

>>108847146>>108851824Anything similar for us Yurocucks? The corded Peanut seems to be a NA exclusive.
safety razer is great, plus extremely cheap. Pretty fast If you keep your beard trimmed constantly and on top of it.Beyond that I use a Philips Oneblade for all over my body. Especially in places i wouldn't trust a safety razer even. It's great, more expensive but way faster and can get just as good as a shave plus nice trims if you don't want to get entirely smooth (it's more healthy for you just to trim btw)
>>108847026S9 Pro is kino
>>108851904just get a remington
>>108851909I use the safety razor for body as well, OneBlade only for face since replacement razors for it are way more expensive. Also last time I tried using the one blade in my balls it cut them all around, and I didn't really notice until I went to take a showed. It was horrible.
>>108847030>Doesn't show off sharp jaw line
>>108851995That's why I only use it with this attachment
>>108847030Babylonian beards will never look good no matter how much sigmamaxxing propaganda pushes for them. Trimmed ROFLstomps every time unless your beard doesn't fully grow. In that case, you are better off with a clean shave.
>>108851909>>108851995I used a safety razor on my balls. Worst I've ever cut myself was like one or two nicks. Just let the weight of the razor do the work and you'll be fine.
>>108847280I would learn to use a razor if my hands didn't shake like crazy on fine movements. That's the main reason I didn't go for med school instead of STEM in the first place...
>>108852058Right, mine also came with that but I figured it wouldn't cut them short enough. Lesson learned the hard way. >>108852158Yeah, the safety never cut my balls that I can recall.
>>108847146the Wahl in OP's also works corded
>>108847030living in japan (soiface) has made me so conscious of facial hair. I always keep it clean now

How are so many people here knowledgeable about permanent hair removal? Is this board full of trannies?
>>108852873I use these on my pubes, works great
>>108852936we are not low-t retards who think that having no beard makes you gay
>>108852960Yeah yeah. I googled this shaving cream out of curiosity. Fucking 2nd result.
>>108852960Yeah, but permanent? Most men just shave.
>>108852998if you are going to shave it anyways why not remove it all together
>>108853119I guess that makes sense, but I still wouldn't want to remove my ability to grow a beard permanently. What if I change my mind in the future?
>>108853130Apparently you will need to pray to God.
>>1088478103mm attachment combdon't attempt anything else
If you can, you should have at least a light shade beard. Even if you have a sharp jawline, it'll look way better with facial hair. Use razors to trim it the way you deem best.
>>108847810I hover my trimmer as close as I can stomach over the skin of my balls. I understand that as long as I'm not a retard nothing can happen, however I have had my moments and I'm not going to tempt that. Whenever my trimmer gives out I'll probably grab a philips one blade or something that is physically incapable of breaking skin and give some bald balls a go for the first time in who knows how long.
>>108853130I totally would, but I'm not going to go through fucking electrolysis
>>108847810Just use an epilator, you'll be able to use it on your ass as well.
>>108847030only 200 years ago did your fey vanity piece becoming a cultural normity thing, cakeboywe know what era "represents" you

>>108847430>>108851822>>108853845>epilatorAnything I need to know before buying this?
>>108853918don't actually use it on your balls, it's a rotating drum of clamping tweezer heads, it's not going to be as delicate as an oscillating bladeif you're using it on your legs, you absolutely must have an exfoliation routine or you're going to have so many ingrown hairshonestly i'd limit it to pits usage if you're a guythe hair is just too thick otherwiseeven then it's less convenient than shaving your pits, it's just kind of one of those self-torture devices you own that makes you feel alive once every few years
>>108853918agree with the other, balls land face are off limits. but legs, butt, arms, tummy are all finespend a bit more and get a good model. I have a silk epil 5 by Braun. it works under water which apparently is helpful for some people but I just raw dog it>>108854001mine is pretty delicate. I don't need to shave my arms or legs beforehand and Ive never gotten an ingrown from it. I have reasonably dense and longer hair too but I don't have manly black hairs except around my aeteolae.but again I think it's a case of right tools. I've got a few of my guy friends into epilation and they like the one I suggest
>>108853845Bro... Those lads >>108854001 >>108854057 are saying the opposite... Who should I trust?
>>108854183I've used one on my balls and it's fine, just do it slowly and stretch out the skin with your other hand beforehand.
ebilator xDxdD
>>108854057>>108854001How long does it take for the hair to grow back after epilating? Realistically speaking (for men). How often do you have to use it?
>>108854183I don't have balls to test but Ive been told not to use it on the genitals or face. thin skin and all.>>108854326I can only say for me that I use it once a month and I don't even get full regrowth by that point. if I used it only at full regrowth maybe once every 3 months. I imagine for a man it would be a weekly or fortnightly thing to keep the look clean
>>108847026foil shavers don't work.
Never worked for me either.
>>108852873I tried the powder version and nothing happened.
>>108854380Wew, once a month would be a huge improvement. Depending on the amount of preparation you need compared to shaving, even twice a month could be an improvement. As long as you don't feel like dying from the pain as it regrows, that is.
>>108847026I use a trimmer. I used to cut my face to ribbons back as a 20 year old. I think it's fucking pointless, the trimmer gets it close enough, the blades haven't worn out, and the close shave from a razor feels horrible for hours.I think these close or disposable razors are like makeup is for women - is it worth permanently damaging your skin, just to look slightly better or maybe even worse depending on your face?>>108852873>melting your face off with Jewish onions lotion just to get rid of your beard
>>108854802>As long as you don't feel like dying from the pain as it regrows, that is.for me it's zero prep. you can do it after showering apparently it's easier but I just raw dog it like I've said. no pain or ingrowns. the pain is not that bad once you get used to it
>>108847026I recently bought a Pansonic arc5 and the shaving experience isn't much different than the cheap $40 electric razor I got from walmart years ago. I don't get it.
>>108847026This is THE best shaver out there. Yes, it's Chinese. No, it's not cheap. If you've ever used it, you'd know it's the best one.
>shavingI haven't shaved in like 20 years. why the fuck would anyone do that? just trim as much as possible. no one gives a shit.
>>108855554not everyone is a hairless estrogen-rich soiboy
how does one learn to trim the beard? what exactly does trimming entail? is it just razor shaving cheek/neckbeard so there's a visible line?I always just "shave" it all with the #1 guard but a female (woman) coworker told me I'd look better with a cleaner trim
>>108855581projecting much?>>108855591you can do it with a fucking hair cutter man. just get the blades close to the hair, but in parallel to your skin, otherwise you'll end up cutting yourself.these things have instruction manuals, you know...
>>108855643what are you talking about schizo?
>>108847026I bought a 20$ trimmer/shaver 5 years ago and it's still going strong.>>108847030You can shave the beard on your neck and trim the beard growing under your jaw and on your face. Nice virtue signaling though.
>>108855649nvm, I'm ESL and maybe I misunderstood what you were saying.also, it's almost 2am. I don't think at there hours.

>>108847026double edge razorelectric shavers are garbagewith this you can buy 100 blades for 7 dollars and it will take years for you to use all of them
I have thick hair so only an old fashioned razor works on my face and I have stubble next day already. I guess I have high test which is good. For rest of the body - Braun epilator and recently started Braun IPL. For balls - a cheap amazon bikini trimmer.
>>108847026Tf am I supposed to use with atopic dermatitis both shaving and not shaving irritates my skin. Creams would be convinient but they're apparently the worst. Safety razor meh hard for some parts gets clean if you try and cuts if you fail. OneBlade requires multiple shaves and still leaves some. It's so much hassle I'd just get laser and use sensitive cream for any body parts If I had money/time. Some recommend foil shavers but idk if budget like Braun Series 3 are good.>>108847810Safety parts for OneBlade. I don't bother with it for now. It doesn't get everything
>>108847302>>108849024I have a similar issue, fucking razors don't cut through my facial hair but instead grab onto them and pull them out... not only does it hurt but also makes my skin ugly, so I just use a multi function shearer/trimmer
>>108849024No matter how careful I am...
>>108856299I feel you, I try the razor every couple of weeks and conclude that I should stick to the oneblade shaver/trimmer
Panasonic lamdash line or gtfoI import them from Japan due to them not being sold here
>>108847030You're scared of shaving because you injected hrt and are scared you'll never grow them back. Real men have beard that grows back.Heh
