i look like a tranny if i dont have stubble
>>109590959rotary or foil shaver for face?i used a foil ONCE and it seemed like it just didnt work? not sure if I was doing it wrongive seen some people say foil designs basically cant cut hairs over a certain short length, basically stubble
Hijacking this thread to ask how to fully remove facial hairs? Tweezers?
None of that gay multiblade or electric shit. A safety razor and a straight razor with replaceable blades is what every man should own and use. Safety razor for a quick shave and the straight razor for a more perfect shave if you have the time and skill. For the blades go for either Wilkinson, Personna, Astra or Gillette platinum DO NOT fall for the Feather or Russian blades they're crap that go dull just by looking at them and are pretty much guaranteed to leave a nasty rash in the lower neck areas. Also if you decide to buy a straight razor DON'T fall the half blades meme because you pay more for less product just buy regular blades and snap them in half yourself while they're still in the paper.Both the safety and straight razor cost 10 bucks each and you can get 100 blades (years of shaving) for 5 bucks
>>109591085Electrolysis
Philips Norelco OneBlade for body trimming and if I let my beard grow out then I use it for trimming and to get back down to a low level before using a foil. The foil shaver I use is the Panasonic Arc5.
>>109591085I use wax + epilator
>>109591138Expensive and needs me to interact with people>>109591160I'll look into it but I've heard epilators are painful and way worse than tweezers
>>109590959I got one of these and it takes FOREVER to shave with compared to just using a disposable razer.
>>109591291>I'll look into it but I've heard epilators are painful and way worse than tweezersThey are if you put them directly on dense hair, that's why you wax first, if your hair is as thick as mine then what you need to do is wax it off, it will be painful and it won't get rid of all the hair but it will make it significantly sparser, which is where the epilator comes in, it will get rid of stray hairs that didn't get waxed and it will be a lot less painless than if you did it without waxing first.I also use tweezers on my mustache instead of wax because it's too painful to wax thereIf you're really aiming for maximum smoothness then do wax -> epilator -> shave. The only thing better than this would be laser hair removal but that's gonna take a while not to mention the costAlso don't get whatever is in OP's pic, I tried that one and it sucks major ass, I think it's only good for shaving chest hair.
>shave head and face every 3-4 days>use disposable razors>takes me an hour and a half and I look like I went through a meat grinder at the end>switched to dry shaving because cream and warm water first does nothing but make the razor cut even less of my hair>got one of those contoured skull shavers plus clippers>neither cut 90% of my hair, always leave a ton behind so I HAVE to Bic itI'm pushing 40 and I have yet to master this fucking nightmare of a grooming ritual>>109591131I'm considering this shit since disposables seem to exist just to get clogged, I go through like 10 of them each time
I've given up on a clean shave. I whack it down with a guardless trimmer weekly and live with stubble most of the time. Shaving gives me ingrown hairs that I've been unable to resolve even after trying all the routines people recommend. And my skin is too sensitive to shave often enough to maintain a clean shave anyway
>>109590996start the hrt then
>>109591475Get a single blade razor and do your best to shave everything in single, light passes because the more you shave the same area and the more pressure you apply the greater the chance to cut hairs underneath the skin. Always shave from top to bottom and never against the grain.
>>109591405Ty anon, if my hair is pretty sparse/stubble I can just put the epilator on it directly? Or should I tweeze the long stuff first?
>>109590959straight razor
Shaving sucks, this includes electric razors. Wahl magic clip for me, scars for you.
personally after some experimenting, the best way is to use hair conditioner over your hair, then shave with a disposible 3 blade by gliding and not pushing down. Works really well and hard to nick yourself like this
>>109591558The sparser the hair, the less painful the epilator will be>Or should I tweeze the long stuff first?Epilators are better at grabbing long and thick hairs (this also depends on the quality of the epilator), generally the small or thin hairs won't be grabbed and you would need to tweeze them manually.
>>109591684also when you're done, put 2% BHA skin solution on your shaved skin daily to avoid ingrowns for at least the next 3 days
>>109590971There's a period between when a male first starts getting facial hair and when it fills in enough to not look like chemo.
i use disposable, cartridge, safety, whatever. all work equally well for me, and i never get ingrown hairs.i guess its because i have thin straight hair. but i do use a brush and shaving soap though
>>109590959
The colony of nano machines that live on my body keep my face smooth by slowly removing my stubble throughout the day.
>>109591895In my language we call them lice
>>109590959Why are you shaving as a man?
>>109590959It's designed for uncoordinated women to use on their vagánias. It's higher quality than the men's versions for a the same price.
>>109592015Why do women shave their vaginas?

This thing has been solid for my legs n stuff.
>>109590959>three headsGet OnMyLevel
>>109590959I've the one in your image, pretty good desu and my skin in smooth after several passes. The battery life is awful however and it will probably die again in 2 years going by the previous one I had.
>>109591131Nah, fuck that gay shit. I can get five and seven blade razors on Temu for like, 6 dollars that outperform Gilettes. It's actually bonkers.https://share.temu.com/7VuOXPK45TC
is it possible for an electric razor to actually shake down to the skin like a regular razor can? the guards on them always leave me with a 5-oclock shadow which i have to finish with my metal razor
>>109592230biblically accurate shaver
>>109590959>"""lift and cut""" technologyah yes, ingrown hairs, my favorite
>>109590959Pic is for my head.I don't shave my beard because I'm not a tranny.
>>109593278You have to spend almost 300$ for a newer model to do that with either panasonic or philips. Braun doesn't get that close but its generally better for baldies than the face.
>>109591131That's what I use, pretty good
>>109593458is there a name for the models you are thinking of? i wanna see a video if they actually do a clean shave

>>109590959aloe gel + 5bladed gillette (that one with changable heads). But best practise is jus shaving more often so hairs dont grow that big. I wanted to change for razors but when i bought that gillette with fuckton of heads and im still long way from using all of them
>>109593517If minimizing Israel ties is a priority, Panasonic is the significantly cleaner choice. There is no documented operational, investment, or contractual relationship with Israel. Philips has deep, long-standing institutional ties there, even if they're in the healthcare sector rather than defense. I would go with the Panasonic. https://holdings.panasonic/global/corporate/sustainability/citizenship.html
>>109593582If it makes you go further in that direction then i would always recommend Foil shaver over rotary. Only issue is that foil's don't last as long as rotary.Other than that double edge razor's are better imo.
>>109591144Been using Philips OneBlade for about 10 years, works really well (for crotch too).A plus in my case is that I get less ingrown hairs than with a regular razor.
notice how the phillips person has to immediately jump in, going out of their way to capitalize the "OneBlade", I'm not saying they're a bot, it might be a person, but it seems like an odd level of devotion to have to a brand
>>109591700Thank you anon. Tweezing away stubble/tiny hairs is the pain in the first place, sadly. So fucking annoying to get to unlike the longer ones.
>>109590971>>109590996>>109591941>>109593370Why are you so obsessed?
>>109590959i've used every electric shaver known to man, and none of yet to best my shitty facial hair. Spent a half hour doing multiple passes, just to have to go back with a regular razor anyways.
>>109593616Faggot one blade works OK for most people and lasts longer than a multi-blade razor. Don't you have to go shill for Russia?
DE safety razor, or for traveling picrel
>>109593665I prefer the bic metal for traveling. I hate that i can't take my DE razor with me.
>>109591085Fire
>>109592230Plus you can take high-quality photos of distant galaxies with it.
>>109593665>>109593669why can't you? put it in a luggage, I have traveled with actual big knifes in luggage before cross-countries.
>>109593747sure if you're checking a bag, but that's not always the move. See: skiplagging
>>109593747I have had my luggage confiscated for knives. Besides its a pain in the ass to go anywhere with a DE razor if you go to other countries.
>>109593762which country? land of the free?
>>109593776Went to England for a fiber optic install US to UK. They took it out of luggage on the entry. US didn't give a shit so long as i declare it but the connecting flights didn't make them warn me of flying over. I eventually got my clothes after a check in.
>>109593662>and lasts longer than a multi-blade razornta but the blades also cost 3x the price
>>109590959Just rip it all out.>>109591131>give 'em the razor, sell 'em the bladesDidn't know that greatest generation was posting here. They don't make bathrooms with slots in the wall for razorblade disposal anymore, just get a good razor and sharpen it yourself, disposable razorblades are actual trash.>>109591291They're painful the first time and if you leave it for too long, less so if you do it semi-regularly because the hair won't grow back at an even rate.>>109592019Women in marketing are generally assumed to have more disposable income, so bulk product gets dumped on them and they are encouraged to form habits that require bulk product. This reduces available supply for men without requiring a decrease in total production capacity, thus driving prices up for men who still consoom just as much product.Just a consequence of industrial society.
>>109591002foil shavers are for clean up after shaving, like the morning after or something. it wont cut hairs that are too grown or curly
>>109590981miss this nigga like u wouldn't believe
>>109593821At that point its more race dependent. Asians it lasts longer and blacks they get to have a trimmed beard out of it. If your white or any flavor of bean then you have something decent for ball trimming.
>Safety razorspeak reddit.buy 30 products for a shave that takes multiple passes just so you can save a few dollars on a blade like you're in the bread lines. Almost as bad as people who buy straight razors for the 'aesthetic'
>>109592183got this as my first shaver for my 16th birthdaya few months ago i got into safety razors but i still use the oneblade for my bodyits very good for anyone who doesnt mind feeling a stubble again before the day is over and doesnt want to think about shaving too muchits a talent to cut yourself with one of theseit is plenty more expensive compared to razor blades (one blade lasts about 4 months of shaving about twice a week, a 3-pack (one year) costs about 30-40eur, meanwhile you can get 100 razors for sub 10 eur which can last you like 2 years at least. i switch blades after every 4th shave since my hair is a bit coarser)
>>109593855Safety razors are kino since i can cut a weeks worth of beard down to nothing with zero irritation. The shave soap lasts longer than can foam anyways. You can stay poor anon no one uses safety razors to save money anyways.
>>109591131the only correct post here>>109591454disposables are made to create a recurring revenue, hence they need to get dull and need to get clogged and need to not work well.
>>109590959One of the Philips Series 9000.The lower you go with the series the shittier the shaving heads and battery.>>109591629>he bougthed a 3000seriesshiggydiggy
>>109592230The ones with this many heads are meant for shaving your scalp. That large a thing isn't convenient for your face.
>>109591454>I'm pushing 40 and I have yet to master this fucking nightmare of a grooming ritualhave you tried... just letting the beard grow.
>>109590959Some electric shaver from a decade ago. Takes me a few minutes every day, and some more if I let it grow. I only use disposables for my balls and ass
>>109590959If you want it baby smooth you probably need to wax your fucking faggot face.
>>109593616I'm >>109593603 and this was my very first post about it in /g/ (or anywhere on 4chan as far as I remember, been here since back when it was still .net...).Typing "OneBlade" takes the same time as "oneblade", unless you're on a phone and need to switch to capitals twice instead of just pressing Shift with your pinky, din't think that a couple capitals would trigger a tripfag.Just mentioned it 'cause it's really very convenient.
>>109591454>oh no, a little bit of skin is showing on my head>better shave everythingreddit moment
>>109590959Some cheap three head thing from chinkland, like that of your pic but way cheaper. When the battery charge display reaches 50%, it immediately jumps to zero. >>109590971Due to bad genes, I'm almost bald, so I did away with the almost.
>>109590959I don't. I use a beard trimmer on the shortest setting it can do when my beard starts getting unreasonable, then I let it grow out again.
I shave every day and use Wilkinson Sword disposable razors, I change them every month. They're the best in the market imho, I've tried Bic and Gillette and they're not as good. But I don't try to get "baby smooth" shave since it only lasts a few hours anyway.I only shave in the direction of the hairs, it gets you 95% there without the risk of skin irritation. I bought a Philips electric razor many years ago and found out the hard way it's not suitable for my skin, I'd get a lot of ingrown hairs and irritation.
>>109591131This right here, got the pack for like 10 bucks 8 years ago, still going strong.I cannot understand why someone wouldn't use this instead of paying jew prices for modern stuff.
>>109591131basedi HATE technology
>>109591131Picrel is what I use. Once you develop your technique it's simply unbeatable.Also when I was working as a nurse I used some Wilkinson disposables that they make for hospitals. They shave really well and are designed to prevent even the dumbest idiot from mangling patients
>>109594495More dangerous than a straight but quality shave is great from those. I like using the AC style straights due to the adjustability in the aggression and whether or not you want to use guarded blades for training purposes. The style you posted is great for barbers who utilize it for detailing for hair styles.
>>109593861I do not really have that much terminal or androgenic hair on my body, so the one blade is primarily used for vellus hair.I really use it to keep me from looking like a peach, and using the one blade every 1-2 weeks helps out a lot with that. Because its also just the little peach fuzzy hairs, I actually used the first blade head for like a year.
>>109592019Look I don't mind a landing strip or some light fuzz but dudes who want a beard down there are fucking gross.
>>109592183>>109591144I started using a Phillips oneblade for shaving my legs, and it was a lot more gentle than a regular razor. After doing it for a few months, I switched to a regular disposable razor and shaving cream, and now that's totally fine too. It's also a lot faster and can be done while taking a shower. I think I'm retiring the oneblade for now. The replacement blades are so expensive I was apprehensive about buying them anyway.

>>109591793>>109594306You know you can just shave it neatly without going full on tranny mode? Even if your beard is uneven, it can still look fine if just trimmed right.
>>109590959>What kind of shaving technology does /g/ use to achieve a baby smooth skin?
>>109590959I have been using this one for maybe 10 years now and it just werks. Recently I replaced the top blade part and it works like new. I really see no point of using razors.I like the trimmer it has on back, useful for sideburns.
>>109593616>notice how the phillips person has to immediately jump in, going out of their way to capitalize the "OneBlade"You mean the post that also then said they use panasonic.Are they shilling for panasonic or phillips?
Merkur 38HD with black handle. I got tired of electricity.Before switching to safety razor shaving I used an electric Norelco I got for $30 in 2009.
>>109596321Worst handles ever. JK those zamak razors last like 10 years before they rot.
>>109596560The base is gradually getting more difficult to turn and release the blade. I've been using it daily since I bought it in 2017. Not that I have to change it that often.
>>109593560>aloe gelI used some glycerin "preshave" gel instead of foam the other day, worked so well I might just skip the foam from now on.
>>109596321I never fucked around with electricity, just got tired of them lube strips curving out of shape causing me to throw blades that were still presumably decentMain thing I don't like about that Merkur head is how much wiggle room it has for blade misalignment, drives me nuts
some simple Philips one, mostly because I already have a matching power supply (they use their own connector). also I had one of theirs before but it broke - the battery charger stopped functioning and of course without that it didn't work even from the power supply.the last one I bought does not have a battery, it requires to be plugged in, but it didn't break in the 6-7 years since I got it.
>>109596595Better off buying a new one.
>>109592015You are retarded. They are more expensive than the male variant while being the exact same thing. Some women see through the retarded marketing and get the male variant.
>>109596756I have two others: Merkur 23C's I don't use. Though I'm wondering if shavette would be better. At least better than wasting money on cartridges.
>>109596901Shavettes are great for getting closer. However if you are worried about time spent shaving then a safety razor is the good middle ground. Straight razors from my experience are safer than shavettes but require work involved to keep them shave ready at all times.
>>109596924>Straight razors from my experience are safer than shavettes but require workDefinitely, I looked into straights some time ago and I'm not thrilled in investing in a jar of Barbicide much less a strop.
>>109596964Its not the barbicide you have to invest in since you can clean with witch hazel(14% alchol) its the time invested into sharpening the razor's.
>>109591684I tried that. The combination of chemical exfoliation and mechanical exfoliation was too much for my skin.
How do I train myself to shave daily? I use a safety razor but I only shave bimonthly at best, so it's always a lot of work.
>>109596997Wash face with water, then follow up with either bar soap or a cleanser, then you follow up with the soap. Soap forms better when the grease of the face is removed from it. I can shave with a full beard as easily as i can shave without one. More importantly prep time like described helps alot for razor blade variance. from my exp razor blades don't matter if prep is gucci.
>>109596997If you don't genuinely enjoy it, then just keep shaving when you have to. Stubble is more common than clean shaven so no judgment.
DE razor bought from Yaqi on AE when it was cheap, shaving soaps and brush. I also have a couple of ultracheap Lord DE razors and a Gillete razor from the sisxties. I also have a shavette, it's more fun but more risky and I shave everyday, not worth the extra hassle over DE.
>>109596181do you shave every morning or something with it? havent had much luck with my braun
>>109597756>do you shave every morning or something with it?No. My facial hair grows rather slowly. I shave like 1-2 per week.
>>109592019because i dont want hair in my fucking face, fucking disgusting, all women should undergo mandatory lasering procedure for the full body
>>109590971Some of us grow shit facial hair. Genetics are a bitch lmao
>>109590959I am literally using same 5 dollarshaveclub razors for the last 10 years, I think i am on the last one, one lasts for about 2 years, if you shave in the morning, skin is super soft and lets you shave without any issues as if it was a brand new razor, make sure to wipe it clean and dry so it doesnt degrade the steelfor armpits i will sometimes use electric trimmer to trim it shorter, i am a man so this is just for comfort for the balls i use ex-gfs trimmer razor that has like 3-4mm guard above the razors, the razor does not get dull also have been using it for like 5 years, it will easily remove long hair fast leaving very clean short hair, and then ill use disposable razor to work the balls and dick for fully hairless, and asshole etc so shit doesnt get stuck

oneblade is both good, and retard expensive. It's not the closest, by a lot, but it also doesn't cause razor burn.
Norelco OneBlade for a quick buzz before work, then picrel foil shaver for that baby smooth skin. Oddly satisfying seeing the mass of dead skin that collects in this thing. I used to use a safety razor, and it is the best for that smooth shave, but it's time consuming. Fact is, some days I just need to rush to work, and I'd rather only waste 30 seconds to clean up with the OneBalde.My balding buddy SWEARS by the Pitbull Skull Shaver if you're focusing on your head.
>>109591131>Straight razorI'm clumsy enough i know for a fact I would slit my neck artery if i used one of these
i boughtered the royce royce of electric shawers recently and like it a lot.
>>109591454I've been using Astra safety razors for over a decade now and there's literally nothing else you could possibly need.A single blade lasts until you really want to change it and 100 blades costs peanuts and lasts literally years.I'd never use a disposable razer again.I buy a box of picrel which also last for years.
>>109594458Because most people are retarded and fall for marketing gimmicks like multi-blade razors.>>109595624You're only shaving your vagina with it so it shouldn't matter.
>>109599210I've bought a stick of that Turkish soap myself out of curiosity and because it was dirty cheap, it's surprisingly nice to shave with it. Definetly less protective than artisanal soap but it costs a fraction.As for blades I like Astra greens and Treet Platinum. I got a pack of Treet Carbon and they're fine and nice to look at with their black steel but they rust in no time.
>>109590959I wax my face instead
>>109599287Honestly the razer holders tend to crap out faster than I go through a box of 100 blades. I couldn't imagine going back to Gillette multi-blade disposables now, they are a total meme.
>>109591793>that earwhat the fuck am I looking at
>>109598221i think i saw this shilled all over the internet like a year ago that it was mega precise and titanium and all was forever and used regular blades etc, how is this? my DSC 5 blade razor on the back has a single blade, and one time out of curiosity i used that one razor to shave full face, it took longer, and it felt like it was acting as a face scrub as it was scaping skin in a satisfying way, but ive been too pussy to try this style of grandpa razor
