 Posted: Sun Aug 10, 2008 8:55 pm Post subject: Why I hate shaving? |
 |
|
| My facial hair grows very quickly so I have to shave twice a day. I use an electric razor as I detest shaving foam. The problem I have is that the skin on my face is very sensitive so the electric razor alway irritates it and I'm left itching for most of the day. I tried having a beard but I was too warm. It's a classical dilemma. If I could remove my facial hair for good, I would do it in an instant. At least I don't cut myself with my electric razor. |

I love the smell of the foam! 
However, I just use a regular two or three blade disposable razor you get in a pack, and for some reason I don't need the foam. I wish my hair would grow quicker. I don't have much hair at all, except on my chin. Once that grows thick enough, I'm gonna have that. Looks cooler than a full beard, in my opinion.

I was having electric shaver problems, so I looked on Google and found a guide. http://www.wikihow.com/Shave-With-an-Electric-Shaver
I got a closer shave, and I didn't feel it tugging at my hair. I'm particularly trying to avoid razor burn.

Thanks for the link. I hate razor burn. My electric razor is a Braun waterproof foil shaver.

| I've been shaving regularly for 31 years and I dislike doing it as well. If I had to shave twice a day like you do corroonb then I would detest it even more. I'm very picky about the razors and shave gel that I use. |

I started shaving when I was 12. First, just a tiny mustache and then, bam, Hungarian beard. 
My uncle is like me. Very heavy stubble. I'm very hairy too. Arms and legs. And head too. |

I just keep a beard for now, but that's too warm you say? I live up north, so at least the winters are cold and during the warmer parts of the year I have less surface area that a mosquito can get to.

I tried a beard but it was too warm and I didn't like the birds nesting in it.  |

LOL, really they do try sometimes. Did you know parrots find the human ear to be offensive?

The most beard I could handle was a goatee. I was shaving when I was twelve but by fourteen I just let it grow for a while and then trimmed it down to a goatee and continued to let that grow. That was on and off until I was around sixteen (although occasionally I'd let the stubble grow out until I couldn't stand the itch anymore). Around June I started growing a mustache, and I've started trimming it because it kept attracting food.

Whenever I drank Tropicana, all the bits would get stuck in my mustache.

I think they may view it like an angry face or something. Their ears are hidden behind feathers, so they may think ears are alien. Anyway, here's a recent picture of me in the woods near my home:

That stinks, but on the bright side working with food you wouldn't get that many complaints from customers who hate bearded people.

Nice woods, shame about the beard.
Mine was darker and thicker than yours. Do you trim yours at all? I find I don't have the dexterity required to trim my beard. |
