TeeJay410 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've never noticed a real difference between a 3-blade and 5-blade razor other than I get more razor burn with a 5 blade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthisriver Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I do, but I've never used one. I don't have enough hair to justify using anything more than 2 blades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Orsys Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I totally agree. And the blades seem too close together. 3 blade are much better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tater Totts Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I used a Gillette Mach 3 and think it is great, I have never used a 5 blade razor but don't really see the need as my Mach 3 gets the job done and gives me a great shave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 Yeah gillette mach 3 is where it's at. My mom got me a 5 blade one as like a care pack for college which was super nice of her, but I only used that razor until all the blades it came with were finished.

AxlisOld Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Electrics ftw.I feel like we're just getting closer to a face shaped mold covered in razor blades that you stick your face in once and be done.(I call patent) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeJay410 Posted August 1, 2012 Author Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've never used an electric razor. I'm worried that they don't shave close enough. I'm dirty blonde, and my facial hair doesn't grow evenly so if I'm not clean shaven my face just looks dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsguy Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I've never noticed a real difference between a 3-blade and 5-blade razor other than I get more razor burn with a 5 blade.That is a very good assesment, the 5 blades from any brand are shit compared to 3 blades IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bacardimayne Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 (edited) Yeah I recently got some Gilette Fusions to see if they were any better than the Mach 3s I normally use. Got a shitload of razor burn. Going back to 3-blades ASAP. Edited August 1, 2012 by bacardimayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm dirty blonde, and my facial hair doesn't grow evenly so if I'm not clean shaven my face just looks dirty Electrics definitely leave a longer shave then a normal razor but they are quicker and more convenient, I usually wet shave with a razor but sometimes if I am lazy/ want to rock some stubble I will just use my electric.I also find it amusing that 5 blades are advertised to reduce irritation and razor burn and they seem to produce more Edited August 1, 2012 by Tottenham Hotspur Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chinaman33 Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 Are you guys serious? You use those cheap 3 and 5 blade razors? Get a safety razor FFS. $30, lasts a lifetime. Blades are cheap as hell. 100 blades for $10 and I change em out every 5 shaves. Do the math. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I used an electric one most of time, as I'll have a 5 o'clock shadow there well before 5pm... efficient, quick and does cut pretty damn close! But, I paid out for a good one, and it's ultra effective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bards Posted August 1, 2012 Share Posted August 1, 2012 I don't know what you guys are doing to get so much razor burn. My Gillette Fusion is great, best razor I've owned. And I love the blade on the top for the tricky sports under the nose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lathering the soap takes the longest....I used to use the canned stuff but I ran out and have to use an actual bar lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 I've always been dying to know this:Guys, how bad did it hurt the first time you shaved your face? Was it tough to go from silky smooth to gross stubble or did you enjoy it because you felt manly?I hated puberty myself. I think girls probably have it rougher but you guys definately got the raw deal when it comes to the embarrassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sandman Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 It didn't hurt - I would just say it was a weird new sensation! But, it's always been pretty much fine.Obviously manly though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Sleeping Like An Angel Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Thankfully I haven't been cursed with the male tache thing. Was anyone else embarassed about puberty? I hated it. I found it embarrassing and I felt uncomfortable the entire time. It took me years to get used to it and stop wearing baggy clothes to hide things. I didn't go through it till i was about 16/17 and that made me HAPPY because I felt I got some extra years as a kid. I'm still the same today. I never want to grow up or get older.

I think girls probably have it rougher but you guys definately got the raw deal when it comes to the embarrassing.Didn't hurt at all, pretty much when you first start shaving the hair is really thin and fine like the hair you get on your arms. It takes a while for it to go from that to stubble and it doesn't happen overnight, takes many months and years which is why people end up being patchy.Didn't really enjoy it as like to rock some stubble/ a beard and for years at school I was forced to shave which was just inconvenient, now I usually just rock some stubble which means I trim my beard twice a week.

Tater Totts Posted August 2, 2012 Share Posted August 2, 2012 Had my legs and chest waxed once, didn't see what the big deal was and didn't hurt too badly. Did sting a bit but after a while it just got used to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
