The Shaving Poll

[Syt]

I run my hair cutter over it once or twice a week and use a trimmer for my chin. Occasionally I use a cartridge razor, like the aforementioned Fusion.

My beard growth is not very strong, so after a week of not shaving I look like some people do after 12 hours.

I wish I could grow a proper beard.

Use a double-edged safety razor - a medium-weight Merkur with Gillette 7 O'Clock blades. Bought over a year's supply for £9. To lather up I use a brush and shaving soap.

I have very coarse and dark facial hair.

[grumbler]

Flint blade knapped to within an inch of its life.

I figured you for loose shards of glass.

Chipped rocks.

Repeat redundantly.

[The Brain]

I have a full beard atm though.

Impressive.

I shave with a disposable razor and then use a beard trimmer for my goatee.

[garbon]

No 'manly' straight razor users?

My dad shaves with a safety razor, he tried to get me to use that when I was a teen and started shaving, but I didn't see the point of it.

It's like single malt:  an objectively inferior alternative that is an acquired taste for the sake of being an acquired taste.

I just shave my beard down to a 1 guard or whatever it is whenever I shave my head.  I do use a disposable safety razor for my neck.

There is no "objectively" in matters of taste.

Some tastes are objectively wrong.

Some tastes are objectively wrong.

... by what objective standard?

The one held by all people with a shred of common decency.

It's a known scientific fact that safety razors are the preferred razor of hipsters that still bother to shave.  Not as obvious as straight razors, so they're just ironic enough.

I wasn't talking about that. I use disposable razors for the bits that I shave.
