I'm getting real tired of shaving my face, I have to shave everyday and its a real bitch. I'm seriously considering getting my facial hair zapped/laser removed.

**hung-solo** · 03-31-2005, 01:36 PM

**EastCoaster** · 03-31-2005, 01:36 PM

do what i do, shave once a week lol. i dont even shave with a razor, i shave with my hair clipper, but i got a set that cuts super duper close, its like a automatic 5 o'clock shadow. i work in a office so im sure if i can get away with it, you can too. i shave my head and face once a week, i hate the freshly shaven with a razor feeling, my face feels like freaking rubber lol.

oh another thing, my facial hair is thick, i can be a burly mountain man in about 7 days or so

Don't shave everyday!

If you shave too much and the hairs aren't long enough, you run into razor bumps, irritation, redness, etc.

If you use a standard razor I can understand.......just use an electric shaver. Not quite as good of a shave, but more than good enough and definitly a lot less of a pain to use. I only use the whole shaving cream **** when I have a date or something, I can't stand using razors on a regular basis.

shave with close clippers, and just wash your face in the shower after youd done, it will make you skin get much less irritated

you know what I also thought of... I'm on cycle right now, so thats probably not helping things at all... because its been worse than ever lately

**EastCoaster** · 03-31-2005, 01:39 PM

thanks for the advice... i'd experiment around with a few ideas.

**LeanMeOut** · 03-31-2005, 01:39 PM

Get it lasered off bro.

my girl does laser hair removal, I'm having her do my neck now.

**Phillyboy1** · 03-31-2005, 01:40 PM

use these, the smaller ones get super close, and its like a automatic 5 0'clock shadow, youd be suprised how many women like that look. you actually look like a man, rather then a clean and prim pretty boy lol

its a little pricey, but I think its worth it. Is it painful?

I'm gonna buy it my next trip out to the mall.

Don't zap it for good man. What if you want to change your looks in the future...grow a goat or stash. I just go with the "Don Johnson" and use hair trimmers. It leaves a little stubble, but it never irritates. Unless you work where you can't leave a little stubble....then your f*cked.

Either way .... Good Luck...JC

I used to have this problem, then I read "The art of shaving" and followed the directions using the pre shave oil, shaving soap and after balm and haven't had razor burn since.

**UrbanLegend** · 03-31-2005, 01:55 PM

You guys are making this sound so much more complicated than it should be......just get a good electric razor and you'll be fine EC. Don't shave too often either.

They put numbing cream on my neck before hand, so it isn't too bad. It does hurt, but the end result is more than worth it

**KGBnine** · 03-31-2005, 02:31 PM

I usually only get razor burn on my neck/under my chin which sucks.

Me too bro, but I had to give the credit where it's due....hahaha

My wife actually loves it when I roll with stubble....

**JdFlex** · 03-31-2005, 02:37 PM

All I gotta say is electric razor. I shave every morning while on the throne. Talk about multi-tasking!
