Wet or dry shave?

[Crackle]

Which is it?

I used to dry shave but I've swapped to wet shaving. I use a superdrug two blade special with a shaving brush and shaving soap rather than foam.

I seem to have to change the blade every 3 or 4 shaves, does that sound about right and which is the best wet shaver do you think?

Hmmmm...bit of a tricky one this.
I mostly wet-shave, but I use an electric sometimes. And I'll usually greet the summer by Immac-ing my legs.

I have 'dry shaved' legs and face.

You have to have a good blade and not be 'goose bumpy'.

And (ladies) never mind exfolients try dry shaving: easily takes a layer of skin off !

Generally - stick to a watered down situation, obviously prior to shaving, its much less hard.

Only ever wet shaved once, and that was the very first time I shaved; with my dad's Philishave when I was about 15/16! It wasn't very good at removing teenage bum fluff!

I wet shave about once or twice a week, using gel and a cheapo double-bladed razor.

Cut my hair myself, too. Wearing a no. 1 at present ; it's too cold now for a full scalping!

I wet shave mostly but occasionally I've used an electric shaver. Hey mister Remmington or whatever your name is, I want my money back no its not as close as a blade.

Wet shaved for 25 years currently use a Gillette Fusion and a King of Shaves Gel which is really good. Get about 12 shaves out of a fusion blade and have a very tough beard. Always bought the best available.

Use the same on my legs about once a week.

Have cut my own hair for the last 2 years either a 1 or a 2, tried bald but its a bit too far for me.

Wet mainly, occasional dry.
Wilkinson Sword 2-blade with King of Shaves Oil

Braun is never as good as the blade

Wet shave every day. The only drawback is it makes me sore between the legs!!!

King of Shaves is a massive brand. I'd never heard of it before. Confusing amount of products.

wet shave every other day... 2-blade el-cheapo with ordinary soap. Occasionally with nowt, if I'm feeling really hard

 

[ianrauk]

dry shave every morning for me....

I have a beard but I do try and keep the area round my collar clean so this gets a wet shave about once or twice a week

I recommend this one Crackle.

Thanks Mondo, I must've walked past that lot in Superdrug the other day. I'll wonder back and have another shufty.

Use Fusion blade and gel must have a wussy beard because blade lasts me weeks if not months.
