Grooming and Hygiene

So how do you shave, Mega?
I like HeadBlade, myself.

Never seen one of those Chirs, but I'll check it out. I just use a Gillette Fusion Power, takes me 5 minutes to go down to the bone every morning

Yeah, it's essentially a standard razor, just with a funky ergonomic handle. I like it because it's easy to use in the shower. Usually less than 5 minutes and the finger clip keeps it from slipping out of my hand when it's wet. Uses a wide variety of standard replacement razor blades, too. Most important thing to remember is to keep the wheels on your scalp. Lift them and you will cut yourself. I hacked my head a couple of times really badly before I finally learned that lesson.
The Head Lube is really good stuff, too. Way better than any other shaving cream/gel I've used otherwise.

Just shaved for the first time. Def need to get some better shaving cream but it wasn't as difficult as I imagined it would be. It's actually easier than any blade I've ever used, and obviously much sharper. I think I'm gonna like this alot. Can anyone recommend a good shaving cream, brush, etc. I've got a razor and blades so far.
and I only knicked myself in 3 places the first time

Truefitt & Hill products are great, shaving cream, after shave & cologne all are wonderful.

You want to get a badger brush

all of this shaving talk makes me want to try it out again…
I only do dry shave myself once in a week, since I always get massive skin rash as soon as I wet shave (jaws and throat).
I don't know if I'm doing it the wrong way or if I'm using the wrong stuff (pretty much looks like it though!) but after trying it out multiple times I don't think i wanna try it again since it's always back to the same problems...
I'm having an appointment at the dermatologist on friday since I still have to fight with skin rash/ingrown hair on my jaws for almost 3months now, after I've last wet shaved...
anyone having this sort of "problems" as well sometimes?

I think everyone's skin is just different Finn. I break out whenever I use an electric razor, and only with an electric razor. I have no problem with a standard blade and I didn't have any breakouts at all after using the safety razor for the first time ever.
I read somewhere that has to do with the bacteria that grows in electric shavers. People have different responses to different shavers. After I read about all the stuff that grows in them and the recommended process to clean them (it's a pain in the ass), I switched to disposable razors

Not sure how well they work, but when I did have an electric, I had a cleaning system that I would use after every time so I hope bacteria wasn't the issue.

Yeah, I remember those with the built in cleaning system. They came out after all the studies came out about how much gross shit grows in electric razors
I think the cleaning process involved soaking just the heads in 80% isopropyl alcohol after every use for 30-60 mins, rinsing with water, and then letting it dry for four hours
Never made a lot of sense to me since I have 5 minutes before leaving the house…

Can't find a body/ health thread but I woke up at 7am today to go get a plethora of blood work done. This should be interesting…
