The important thing is that you DO shave. I loathe that grizzled look, a la Hugh Laurie on "House" -- whoever thought that was sexy? And please, either use really, really good aftershave/cologne or use none. And that leads to the subject of men who think cologne replaces a shower, but that's another topic. . .

I have a fogless mirror in the shower and really hate to have to shave anywhere else. I rarely get a cut and razor burn is pretty much non-existent.

I hate shaving. It's a pain. I can't wait til I have a job where I can just let it grow a bit.

I have really, really coarse hair, and the beard hair is even worse.

I'll get in the shower and save the shaving for last. I like those multi-blade razors. I think I'm using something with 3 blades on it now. Disposable. I have a can of shaving creme in the shower, but I don't use it most of the time. I use regular soap. I never cut myself and I get a good close shave. I've even got it down to the point where I can keep my sideburns even without using a mirror. no mirror in the shower, just feel and swipe.

I like to keep one hand lathered up so I can relather as I'm going and if I miss spots.

Gillette Sensor Excel. Shave over the sink like a real man should. Bleed at least once per shave just to know I'm alive (Goo-Goo Dolls). Seriously, I hate shaving, but I also hate facial hair (mainly because I'm a "patcher" and jealous of those who can grow a tight-knit goat overnight!). Shaving is such a hassle in the morning. Best time to shave, at night, just before bed.

I'm a "patcher" too but only on my head. :smt017

I have no problem with facial patching so on the days I have to work I enjoy a good shave in the shower using regular soap and a 3 blade razor.

On my days off I hate to shave so I usually don't unless I have something important to do during the day, if not I'll usually look like the "House" guy. :no:

Went electric after I had it, getting my razor and some one had shaved their legs cause they were out of blades. Might as well shave with barbed wire and broken glass. Takes a while for the face to get use to it.

trust me pop- it can be just as frustrating when a man uses every single razor of mine in a pack of disposable razors!!! I had to start hiding them somewhere he'd never find 'em... like- the laundry room or kitchen.

When I was living in Canton during the last marriage (held POW) I had the barber on the square give me a shave. It was great, all these hot towels and when he finished he asked if I wanted regular or mild aftershave, I should have asked for mild cause it was a bit warm on the skin. I haven’t found a barber down here that still gives a shave, so now, like No-Halo, on days I have to work I use my fusion in the shower.

What is a patcher? I use the sensor excel and Edge in the shower. Has anybody noticed that the Edge cans aren't worth a hoot anymore? I can't get thru a can before the whole black top section is coming off. I don't need a mirror. Shave with my right, feel with my left. I use Cool Water or Polo (green) aftershave BALM. I don't do pain.
As for the barber shop shave, hot wash rag compresses will really make for a nice shave.

Actually, I have a beard. Mrs. Z likes it. She says that "a kiss without a tickle ain't worth a nickel".

Here's what a few others have said about beards:

A beard is an asset more often than not. It gives strength to a face more often than not. Women are aroused by a beard. - Anon quoted in L, Dunklind and J Foley, the Guinness Book of Beards and Moustaches

Facial hair on men is also a powerful symbol. It represents nonconformity, masculinity and unruliness. - Erica Jong

Kissing a fella with a beard is like a picnic. You don't mind going through a little brush to get there. -- Minnie Pearl

We have now for many centuries triumphed over nature to the extent of making certain secondary characteristics of the male (such as the beard) disagreeable to nearly all the females--and there is more in that than you might suppose. --Clive Staples Lewis (1898-1963) _The Screwtape Letters_ "Letter 20"

You know it's hard to hear what a bearded man is saying. He can't speak above a whisker. -- Herman J Mankeiwicz, in R.E.Drennan, Wit's End

Of the seven dwarves only Dopey had a shaven face. This should tell us something about the custom of shaving. -- Tom Robbins, Skinny Legs and All (1990)

He that hath a beard is more than a youth, and he that hath no beard is less than a man. -- William Shakespeare. Much Ado about Nothing. Act ii. Sc. 1.

A beard covers a multitude of chins - (author uncertain) :smt118

I shave in the Jacuzzi. I have a little hand mirror & I use whatever is the cheapest pack of razors in the check out line at the bigstar. I don't use soap or shaving cream I find that if i just sit & soak mu beard in hot water the hair softens up & shave quite comfortably.
I only shave a little bit of my face. Sometimes I have mutton chops sometimes a goatee, someimes a fumanchu or a full beard. My beard grows real fast so I switch out facial hairstyles regularly.
I think a man's face with no facial hair looks unfinished, or blank.
Facial hair is a secondary sex charicteristic, like tits, Men should revel in it.

I once saw a picture of the former boy without his goatee. *shudder* The man had a weak chin, and it was a really, really good thing he had facial hair. :smt118 (Very attractive with the goatee :smt050 )

When I think about beards, though, I can't help but think about my father's gross, ratty, nasty thing. If one is going to have facial hair, it needs to be neat and well-kept.

I've seen some women with better beards and mustaches than I can grow. I can't really grow anything, I've got "bald" spots on my face.

Morrow's Barber shop on Timothy(I think) used to do hot towel shaves. I used to get my hair cut there as a child, and I remember the men getting shaved.

I use a beard and mustache trimmer on my face. I rarely shave it clean, I look young enough already, shaving my face clean makes me look even younger.

I found this in Men's Health

If you must, sprout a goatee. In a recent poll of 468 of those can't-get-enough girls at cosmopolitan.com (http://www.cosmopolitan.com/) , 46 percent cited the goatee as their facial hair of choice. Clean-shaven, however, finished a close second.
Surest turnoff: the beard-and-mustache combination, cited by 41 percent as their least favorite. But your lazy weekend look is a good bet: 63 percent consider stubble sexy.
Almost half say back hair should be removed entirely; one in four says off with the nose and ear hair, as well. Head hair should stay, especially if it's brown. An overwhelming 63 percent of women lust most for brown-haired men; blonds finish second, at 17 percent. (It's over, Brad.) And don't mask those grays--women prefer a silver fox to a dude with a dye job by more than three to one.
As for length, more than half like short and conservatively cut hair best. If you're a rebel, you can go medium length and shaggy; almost 35 percent like that look. Although, if you're really a rebel, you probably don't pay much attention to these polls in the first place.

He's asking about the dubious combination of graying muttonchops and a fumanchu mustache. Either of those is bad enough by itself. The combination is almost unimaginable.
