I just tried king of shaves shaving oil and I think it will revolutionise my daily shaving regime.
Cant believe I havent used it sooner.
Baggers, haven't tried it on the stump and nuts yet but I a msure I will ;D
Anyway, what do people here use?
I jump in and out of electric razors and gilette fusion (bloody expensive)
Mach three blades. I can't justify going fusion.
Aside from that shaving gel. Whatever brand.
What I do prior to shaving is wash my shaving area with a wash that has little beads in it to remove dead skin and allow a smoother shave.
Lance, I do use the King of Shaves gel. Good stuff.
If you enjoy a "fresh" start to the morning, try their menthol gel. Too much for me.
You guys serious? Shaving as soon as I get out of the shower without shaving cream with a disposable, 1 blade razor is fine by me.

Much cheaper.
I use a shaving cream with a brush, after I shower of course.
I just shave in the shower, no gel required.
I use an electric Braun and dont use blades..prefer a bit of stubble on the face as well, I dont ever shave too close as its not great for your skin.
always throw on some proraso after a shave, sometimes before and after - feels great
LR... stump and nuts? You're a fair-dinkum classic. I wouldn't let any blade within a kilometre of that region!!!!
As for shaving the 'regular' area... same as 3 Leos. Straight after the shower use a 'sensitive' shaving cream as prone to ingrowns/rashes. Copious after shave (prefer Guerlain products).
Shaving? Once a week luxury...can of hot water from the brekkie fire, wing mirror from the Toyota... Cheap disposable blades because they're munged after scraping off the veener of red dust, sunblock, fly spray etc
I have often questioned the value of the expensive blades I buy.
Might try cheaper disposable ones.
Anyone tried a straight razor?

Is that you russell coight? ;D
Meh I hate shaving.
I used to use a Gilette Mach 3 about once a week, but my crazy girlfriend and I had an argument over some trivial crap last weekend and she decided to throw my razor and all the blades away for some reason (along with hiding all of my phone chargers somewhere and throwing my shower gel out into the yard... like I said, she be crazy).
So last night I used a disposable for the first time since I was 15... and it hurt... I actually went through three of them before I learned the 'one light brush at a time' technique that allowed me to finish the job.
14 or so hours later, my face still hurts.
Fml.

Sounds like you should start waxing :P
I have a fusion. I've found it the most comfortable (and quickest) by far which is important because my skin is super sensitive and I can't be arsed standing in front of a mirror.
You blokes must be millionaires, those flash razors cost a fortune!
A straight shave with a straight blade, just rub a bar of soap on the dry face first, then afterwards buff off the residue with the dry towel, or your shirt!
Best of all, if you are use to straight shaving and get stuck out in the bush, the broken stubby works just as well, always scrap with the grain though! ;)
Doesn't worry me. I haven't shaved since march 1970. 8)
Buy in bulk!

Please explain?
In shower, Schick Quatro and Gillette Sensitive Gel....for some reason I can make the blades last for about 6-8 weeks before I change them...brings the cost right down...then a bit of Garnier After Shave cream...the days off to a great start ;)
My skin can't handle the wet shave too well like others on here.
My parents bought me an electric Philishave 8894 - 11 odd years ago. THE best present ever. I still use it to this day. Quick, v v easy to clean (run under tab and leave to dry), charges fully within an hour and that charge will last for a couple of months. I have had to replace the heads on it once in all that time. Though I think I might need to do so again. ($35-50) When I went to the shaver shop, I think the one between Bourke and Elizabeth Street in Melbourne, the guy at the counter sagely nodded and told me it was an old time classic electric. One of the best made. Sadly I felt like I was part of some dorky privileged club :o :o
I don't think you can buy these anymore, but I won't go back to wet shave. Electric is convenient and way, way cheaper in the long run guys. Even if you invest $200 on a good quality one, you will be miles ahead in $$$ over the next few years instead of paying a bloody fortune on razors and rashes.
Never heard of a beard Lance??????? ::)

Yep Electric is the way to go to Woody, tried a few and Braun make the best today, was a Remington man for many years but they have fallen behind Braun in terms of design and technology IMO...
Did use blades as a young bloke but ended up looking like Norman Gunston after carving my face up and have not used one for 30 years....
I used a Philishave electric and switched to a Braun and thought it was the best thing I ever bought. Bought replacement blades and grill when they wore out and had it for 10 years. Now I bought a $39 (ALDI) electric they sell and think its the best thing I have ever used. Closer shaving than when I use a blade years ago.
Really not a fan of electric razors, mine is pretty old and I believe that are all nasty for causing in-grown hairs as well as giving an inferior shave. Only use it when I'm in a real hurry. Blade is a much better option.
Aldi sell a multi blade razor - much cheaper than the 'branded' ones and every bit as good. Well worth considering - I swapped over a couple of years back and have not looked back.
Not quite as long as that jk, but it does get a quick trim now and again.
I can't believe the price of razorblades for the current crop of razors - another rip off like printer ink and electric tooth brush heads >:(
I use a Phillishave and I have just replaced the blades after about 5 years. It does a pretty good job but it's not a close shave. I use a disposable in the shower if I want a closer shave.
I still have my original shaving brush and that may get a run once or twice a year.

Definitely not an issue there... unless you're talking about any maps created pre-1642 ;).
There's a reason I put up with her crazy.

I exfoliated too much
The image of that frightening thing is going to give me nightmares... where's the peyote when you need it! :o
African Mole Rats are very important creatures because they are cancer free and maintain muscle and vascular condition well into old age. A lot of effort is being put into research to see whether their physiology can be used to improve human health - hopefully having to undergo a severe beating with the ugly stick.
