How do you shave? Manuel or Electric?

[Fennz]

I prefer manuel. Closer shave, satisfying, better overall.

EDIT: Man, I can't spell, can I?

[Gowienczyk]

Manual.

[Joey-Z]

Manual...

Hhaha, 'I don't shave....Yet'

[Mystlyfe77]

Both, depending on the situation.

[BZLuck]

Razor only, but I also shave my head... Electric yanks too many hairs, unless choose you shave every day! Skip a day, and OW!

(FYI "Manuel" is the name of the guy who served me tacos, "Manual" is the word you are looking for.)

[tridentgum0]

I'm trying to become a lumberjack/caveman, so shaving blows.

[Alright_Computer]

I hire a guy named Manuel to do it for me. Sometimes he can't make it, so I have to use Ricardo instead.

[Meatwad555]

Emanuel

[Blackjack041277]

LOL @ "manuel." :p

I use a blade, then an electric to touch up around my lips and such.

[back_blows]

I mix it up. When keeping the beard, I keep it neat and trim with an electric shaver. Under the neck I tend to use a razor.

[clashcityrocker10]

I prefer manual, but I've been using an electric for some time now. But I hate shaving. I'd rather keep my beard, but my school isn't too big on people having beards.

[Banky71]

I go to the barber.

[ultimatespidey81]

couldn't have said it better myself.

jerry manuel, NYM manager :p sorry fennz, i had to.

[monkeyfish]

Try having a beard and long hair. It's amusing to see a clerk follow you around Walmart all the time. :D

[trueguitarist88]

i don't shave...yet. it's only a matter of time. in a year (or 2) ill be shavin

[supernova1324]

Electric, because if I used a razor I would bleed profusely due to my acne.

[Fennz]

couldn't have said it better myself.

jerry manuel, NYM manager :p sorry fennz, i had to.

I can't believe in I'm college and I can't even spell manual. I knew it looked funny and the spell check on Firefox suggested capitalizing it so I said "whatever.."

[hawkofva]

Electric, because I'm lazy and uncoordinated. I've managed to cut myself even with that though.

[Joey-Z]

I go to the barber.

I got mine shaven by an old timer with a classic shaving blade.
One of the most unnerving experiences I've had.

[Oscar-Rio]

I have both, but i don't normally use manual. I mostly just use a trimmer anyways as I don't usually go clean shaven.

[Banky71]

Yeah my barber could easily slit my throat. I tip very well and always go to the same guy. He's real old too. lol

[Der_Lex]

I mix it up. When keeping the beard, I keep it neat and trim with an electric shaver. Under the neck I tend to use a razor.

Same here, although I use a razor for above the lip too. The missus wouldn't want me to get rid of the beard, but she hates mustaches.

[ultimatespidey81]

I can't believe in I'm college and I can't even spell manual. I knew it looked funny and the spell check on Firefox suggested capitalizing it so I said "whatever.."

believe me i know the feeling. plenty of words look funny to me too when i type them out lol. just PM a mod and they'll fix it right up for you.

[ultimatespidey81]

Yeah my barber could easily slit my throat. I tip very well and always go to the same guy. He's real old too. lol

you get the hot towel treatment too?

[tridentgum0]

Mustaches make a man a man...

[Banky71]

Yeup! I love going to the barber! I think his name might be Sweeney Todd or something like that. Nice guy.

[pacifistWITHgun]

Real men do it manually. With a knife. And no shaving cream. Don't even mention aftershave, what do you think this is, Europe?

[ThunderCurls]

Electric is for nancy boys.

[ultimatespidey81]

Yeup! I love going to the barber! I think his name might be Sweeney Todd or something like that. Nice guy.

if he has a seizure, you are sooooo screwed lol.

[Fennz]

Now the question is Do you use shaving cream or shaving gel?

I use cream. Gel is too thick for me and i get cut more often.

[ffwarrior47]

I do it manually. With a tigers claw.

[Banky71]

if he has a seizure, you are sooooo screwed lol.

It's worth it when he puts the tonic on when he is done and I smell like a mans man!

[ultimatespidey81]

gel. it lathers up nicely after a few seconds.

[Banky71]

The barber uses his own special blend of herbs and spices.

what is he cooking fried chicken or giving you a shave? :p

[Banky71]

mmmm chicken...

[back_blows]

Real men use a blowtorch to burn off their facial hair and then rub on a lemon-saline solution to smooth it out.

[hawkofva]

My barber is in a nursing home now, so I go to his protegè's shop when I'm home. He always gets a kick out of seeing me when I get back from school, since I don't get haircuts while I'm here. :D

Does he shave you too?

[Mystlyfe77]

I shave using the tombstones of my former beards.

[hawkofva]

Does he shave you too?
Occasionally, but I go so far between visits that I really have to take care of it myself.

[Hungryfreak]

I never want to shave... I'm going full viking.

[Cpt. Overkill]

I shave with a battle axe.

[MrFruitLord]

My finger nails.

[macamatic]

Electric, because manual annoys me.

EDIT: Heh, silly me, posting a serious response.

[Oscar-Rio]

I wax. everywhere

[SteveoKnievo]

I shave manually and trim with scissors. Old school.

[HeyRiles]

Manual straight razor, with shaving gel. None of this sissyboy electric stuff for me! I used to not even use cream or gel before I realized shaving didn't HAVE to be painful. I was a man back then

But back to the topic at hand, I use sandpaper and my cat's tongue

[a21schizoidman]

i have an electric, but anyone who's seen me knows i haven't shaved in months

[topperharley]

If I'm shaving every day, I use an electric. If I've skipped a couple days, I use a blade, so I'm not yanking hairs. When I blade shave, I use Edge gel. Gilette Foamy is crap.


I got mine shaven by an old timer with a classic shaving blade. One of the most unnerving experiences I've had.

The barber I went to at law school used a straight razor to clean up my sideburns and the back of my neck. A little unnerving, as you say, but a damn close shave.

[Transbrak]

I work in a chemical plant so I have to shave for work. I usually use an electric shaver during the week and a razor on the weekends.

[madcapmatt]

Manual with regular soap works just as well as any of that shaving cream/gel for me.

[Lady Siara]

I shave manually.

I feel really out of place in this conversation.

[Mega-Tallica]

Manually

Electric shavers just don't do it for me.

[Sarge51]

Of course I use Manuel. He's got a good steady hand, such a great shaver.

[daftuprising]

I shave manually, with Old Spice shaving cream, and no aftershave.

wait, are we talking about our face or...?

[The_Wurm]

i shave manny style, like a real portuguese

[kiggidykev]

I hire a guy named Manuel to do it for me. Sometimes he can't make it, so I have to use Ricardo instead.

Haha you fiend, you took my joke

As for the poll, it depends which body part :p

[maitee1]

I shave my my face with a razor, the Gillette M3 power to be exact with the Burt's Bees shaving cream.

[R33DH4M]

I prefer a constant 5-oclock shadow so I shave with an electric on the lowest setting. I hate the baby-face look.

[Wolfbeckett]

I shave manual with a razor, and I don't use any shaving cream or gel or aftershave or any of that crap. Unnecessary frippery.

[bood-boy]

if you shave electric, you cant grow real facial hair.

[metalhead27]

Almost always manual.

[elijahbarnes65]

im 16 and im stuck at like 5 o'clock shadow all the time so i dont shave........yet.

[Ryuzaki]

I'm away from the house a lot, and it's a hell of a lot more convenient to just carry around an electric shaver. Barely even need a mirror.

[BuRn7 CaK3]

Manual

And I use shaving creme too.

[nigelle]

I used to save with trimmer but now it becomes fault, hence I am only using scissor to trim my beard. I am not using razor, this may cause hardness to the hair of my beard.

[arniejolt]

I don't have a buddy named Manuel so I can't shave like that.

I don't like electric shavers since the ones I've tried don't seem to get as close as the 3-5 razor blade ones do.

[Bullseye]

Both.

[bermuddy]

manual. in the shower. no soap or cream. water, blade, and skin.

[bood-boy]

i need a mirror to shave.

[Sargehalo51]

Manual, including shaving my head.

[bermuddy]

well yeah, mirror too.

[bood-boy]

i have no mirror in my shower it would get foggy. i shave my sack in the shower though. wait..

[bermuddy]

i wet the mirror for abotu 3-5 seconds before i use it. it doesnt fog up that way.

[bmaninc]

I shave like once every 3-4 days because of laziness, unless I have a presentation. I have crappy facial hair and if I tried to grow a beard, it would look like Sidney Crosby's (terrible and patchy).

[bood-boy]

yeah, takes me too long to shave, id be standing there for 3 minutes with hot water running so its not feasible for me. i only get so much hot water. i rarely take everything off my face so i have to do some manuevering. and its not very bright in my shower but its bright by the mirror.

i only shave once a week but it gets pretty rough looking. every monday morning. im rugged tho.

[bermuddy]

i have the opposite of a neck beard

[bood-boy]

we should have a chest hair competition. give me a month tho cause i need to re-grow.

[kiggidykev]

i have the opposite of a neck beard

A mustache?

[bermuddy]

i shave my neck and neatly trim my facial hair.

[bood-boy]

how about a sporatic shoulder hair competition?!?1
or a back hair comp?!

[Mex]

I, like Bman, have crappy facial hair that looks ridiculous so I have to keep it clean shaven or close to it most of the time. And I'm all about manual.

Manuel is my uncle, I don't use him for shaving.

[kiggidykev]

I can only grow a neckbeard and a grade-9-style mustache, so I keep it shaved all the time with the rest of my head.

[bmaninc]

Oh and I also get a waxing so there's no chafage. :D

[bood-boy]

ive been called the yeti by a sgt in thunder bay
i was running thru the bush to go take a leak and when i got back he was keeled over laughing saying i looked like the yeti running thru the forest

[kiggidykev]

haha bood, that's the best story

[bermuddy]

thats almost as good as the female officer pinching a loaf in your bathroom.

[bood-boy]

well that stories not complete until u add in the fact that i barged in on her..... after being told she was in there and not hearing it.

[xMySTiiKaL]

No shaving yet. But when I start I'll probably go for electric.

[AKALink]

I use an electric only because it is so much easier. But the manual blade cuts so much better and feels so much better when used right.

[Banky71]

Whooked own foniks werked fer mee!

[back_blows]

Does anybody here get ingrown hairs on their neck after shaving?

[JoshVanHalen87]

Who´s Manuel? xDDDDDDDDDDD

anyways i shave with a M A N U A L razord

[Mystlyfe77]

Who´s Manuel? xDDDDDDDDDDD

anyways i shave with a M A N U A L razord

This joke is funny because nobody used it yet.

[Baanu_Rass]

Does anybody here get ingrown hairs on their neck after shaving?

No, but my neck is pretty much hair free.

I can't grow a full beard either because it doesn't come in on my cheeks or in two spots below my mouth. However, I use both manual and electric. Electric to trim, manual to completely remove.

[Ferocious Q]

I don't shave yet and I'm almost 16. Is this unusual??? I mean, my friend started shaving in 7th grade!!!

[Gowienczyk]

I don't shave yet and I'm almost 16. Is this unusual??? I mean, my friend started shaving in 7th grade!!!

All depends on your genes, man. I didn't really start actively shaving until I was 18 to be honest.

[Baanu_Rass]

I don't shave yet and I'm almost 16. Is this unusual??? I mean, my friend started shaving in 7th grade!!!

Start injecting testosterone. I've forgotten my high school bio classes so either you will become hairier or you will grow breasts.

[JoshVanHalen87]

This joke is funny because nobody used it yet.

sorry, i didnt feel like reading 10 pages :rolleyes:

[hawkofva]

Possibly both.

[shadowracer]

Electric. I hate cutting myself with a manual.

[Gowienczyk]

Electric. I hate cutting myself with a manual.

Then stop sucking at manual shave, bro!

[gosox333]

Hm, I should name my razer Manuel because of this....

[Mystlyfe77]

sorry, i didnt feel like reading 10 pages :rolleyes:

Not a valid excuse. And even if it was, that joke was used on the first page of the thread.

[Baanu_Rass]

Possibly both.

Hawt.

[destruction3402]

I shave manually with shaving gel.
And while talking beards... How do I grow a powerful beard in short time? And no, I won't do steroids..:eek:
Any tips? ;)

[gosox333]

I'd try some steroids if I were you.

[jonoo24]

Has anyone mentioned testosterone injections?

They should help

[Soja]

I've had my Gillette Mach 3 for 10 years.

[Mystlyfe77]

I shave manually with shaving gel.

Listen to more Ulver. Specifically Natten's Madrigal, it has strong ties to hair.

[n4sc4r]

My facial hair doesn't grow very fast so I don't shave all that often, but when I do I go manual.

[Wolfbeckett]

This joke is funny because nobody used it yet.

It's also funny because while criticizing the OP for misspelling manual, he himself misspelled razor. Delicious.

[bmaninc]

Does this look like a Q to you?

[RidethePiggy]

Does this look like a Q to you?

How about now?
