I know everyone is interested in how the Ladies shave, but, any dudes shave? I tried it first with an electric razor and that was bad bad bad (wish I would have had some good advice somewhere, but who does a guy ask?) and not good. I purchased a razor for my head and I thought about it for the nether regions but, remembering what happened with smaller blades, I decided to forego that experience. I've learned to use electric to get the bush manageable and then a bic razor in the shower to contour the hairs to my desire. Not sure how to get cool stuff like lightening bolts or letters down there, but, at least no pain.
I don't do the intricate manscaping as for me it's a waste of time. But, I do the following:
#2 clipper guide for chest, torso and pubes
#1 clipper guide for scrotum
The hair on my arms and legs is fairly light coloured. But, sometimes can get long so I'll use a clipper without a guide to get it close to the skin. I do have a Norelco Body Trimmer. But, it takes me forever to use it on me. Especially my back. So, I went a different route.
- Majority of my body, I use a Wahl clipper set I bought for about $30USD.
- For my back, I use the Backblade2. (when I was married, my wife would use clippers)
- For my face, I use an old fashioned double-edged safety razor. The razor was about $45USD as it's a higher end one. But, the razor blades, I can buy a pack of 100 for about $15USD off Amazon. I also have a couple of straight razors I'm in the process of learning to use.
I used to shave my head, and used Gillette Fusion blades. But, they are extremely cost prohibitive, especially when going through a blade a week for about $5/blade. Now, I don't mind going through a safety razor blade at the cost of $0.15USD each.
