How Do You Shave?

I use a safety razor with a lather I make for 10 minutes...
...I'm thinking about going to a cut-throat razor though.

How about the fellow men (and women) who shave daily?

I'm of course talking strictly about the face...and be serious.

I rip the individual hairs out one by one, it builds character

I use a Mach 4 (i think) and shave upwards on my neck and face. I have also got a thin chinstrap that I use the back of the razor to do. I hate shaving though. But I listen to the bombdcast when I do shave!

Just an electric razor. Seems to work fine with little to no irritation. Pretty much the same as if I shave manually.

One of those non-electric five-bladed razors with some hot water. Works fine.

Sooth my skin using some warm water; shaving after I shower usually opens up the pores well enough. Gently apply some moisturizing shaving gel, preferably gillette brand (lightly slap face once or twice sometimes to jolt up hair). Rinse razor with the coldest water my fosset spit out. Next up is the fun part! I try to shave from up to down as not to irritate skin. Rinse blade and repeat. Any extra gel and residue can now be washed away with cold water to cool my face. Couple more splashes of cold water then I apply some post shave moisturizing lotion. While I do use an electric razor from time to time (especially helpful for trimmings), I like to keep it manual.

I shave with a Gillette Gamer Razor. If your serious about videogames it is an obvious choice.

A rusty knife and sour cream.

Nair for men. The burning sensation means it's working.

simple cheap electric razor thing i stole off my dad

I don't really shave since I have a beard and a mustache. If I do use a razor it's just to edge my beard out.

"Nair for men. The burning sensation means it's working."

a chainsaw and vinegar

I shaved with a safety razor ones, and it's not for me I like my skin on my face not in the sink.
Cut-throat razor is cool but I leave that to the professionals.....

I only shave when I have to. I always cut myself and I feel naked clean-shaven, so I just trim my beard with an electric razor.

electric razor

Electric razor, the same one I use for shaving my head, then a Fusion for touch up. I use a separate electric razor and fusion for my balls.

Gillette Fusion. Not battery powered. Manual with warm water.

Gillette Fusion with shaving foam/gel thinking about going to elctric razor as i'm shaving a lot more nowadays

I like the battery powered Mach 3, that vibrating action really gets in there, especially around my cheekbones which i think is the hardest to get at. Though I usually just use a cheap remington electric travel razor, gets the job done everynight and I look good until after work so its all good.  then give it another shave and we are good to go.  Also like to use the Mach 3 gel stuff when i use the razor for the close shave.
Now for my balls, I have to trim it up first otherwise it takes a lot longer.  though I just use scissors for the rest cuz I dont shave completely, like to have a good patch look, so the whole unit is clean.  I have to bend over a lot though to get to the hair on my ass.  I need to shave it cuz otherwise when I take a dump, you get clumps of hair or I just pull on it to make sure everything is clean when i wipe.

I use a dull Bowie knife, against the grain, no lather, hydrochloric acid splash after.

cold water and a razor with foam.

I use electric. It's a close shave, sans risk of cutting my throat, and it isn't at all messy. The only problem is that it kinda makes my neck sore, and the raw spots sting like a motherfucker in the shower. =/

I don't shave. Rockin' the peach fuzz!

Apply Lectric Shave, apply cream, shave using simple razor with pivoting head, rinse, apply aftershave. Simple, really. Also, I tackle the upper neck hairs from every angle, for the best results.

Isn't that technically tweezing?"

Only if you use tweezers."

Wet shave, Gilette Sensor, but I do use a cut throat on occasion, sometimes I even trust my GF to do it, when things are going well.

I use the razor & saving cream. Typically start with the sides od the beard, then the chin, finishing with apove the lip.

I just use a regular shaver and trimmer.  I like to grow out my beard of a month or two then I shave it.

Spoon

Just a simple electric razor.

I lather up with some nice Gillette soothing aloe sensitive skin (although I don't have sensitive skin) shaving cream. Pretty thick layer. Then I eliminate most of the general hair with down strokes, following up with side and up strokes to finish off a near-perfect shave. Sideburns can be hard though. One of those orange and blue gillette razors. Nice stuff. Afterward, I take a small bit (don't need that much) of Ahava for Men aftershave lotion and rub that in. Keeps my hands soft too. Dead sea stuff. Top notch.

I shave but I don't want to. It just takes too much effort in the morning to go through that whole routine.

i get my espanic slave to shave me with a katana, its risky but i have faith in gonzales.

i use a normal none powered razor, and a shit load of chocolate milk

What guy waxes his face?"

With a KNIFE!!!!

I've tried electric shavers, slices me up well good. I've decided to follow chuck norris's lead and use a piece of lego with orange juice, takes the edge off
