A shaving tip for people who use razors (body shaving).
I HATE shaving my body, it sucks and it takes a lot of time.
So I thought I'd post what I now do that I personally think fvcking rocks.
This is not for facial hair btw.
With even a good electric razor I notice I'm going over the same spot a few times to get it even, and going back and forth trying to make sure theres no patches I missed.
The only way I get a decent shave with an electric is right after I shower when the hair/skin is dry and oil free.
Even so they still suck, plus they leave stubble most of the time. And if you use an electric razor to get rid of the stubble too.. well you're wasting a lot of time.

Blade Razors
Theres TONS of different kinds. Vibrating ones, 1 blade, 2.. 3 & even 4.
Cheap ones, expensive ones, lubed ones, light ones, heavy ones etc.
Well after years and years obsessing and trying different things this is what I've settled on.
A bath. (not my secret yet)
If you're shaving your body by yourself, you need water, and it shouldn't be moving. (will wash off the gel) A lot of skin needs to stay wet and warm and a bath is the best.
*****************
Gels vs Creams
I'm not getting into a debate about this but if you use creams you're an idiot.
Gels make a much thicker cream, last longer on the skin, less irritation and over all friction plus a better shave.
Also I prefer the odorless gels.
*****************
Now, the "trick" lol.
This is nothing brilliant but its quick and works great if you don't have parkinsons (shaky hands). Otherwise you may hit an artery and die. :lol:
Buy the CHEAP one blade bic razors.
They are sharp as shit for body hair. They dull extremely fast so I suggest having 2 prepared.
Still way cheaper and quicker.
Plus you can't use anything but a single blade so go with bic.
Now:
Get a pair of nail clippers (toe nail not finger) and WITHOUT touching the blade itself, bite off all the braces with the clipper that keeps the guard on the blade.
Use a twisting motion to snap off the guard.
Do it to 2 razors. (do it to 20 and store them if you want, its really quick).
Now this is WHY I do this.
*** NOTHING IN THE WORLD IS MORE FVCKING ANNOYING THAN A 6 INCH STROKE WITH A RAZOR AND TRYING TO UNCLOG HAIR BY SMACKING THE FVCKER UNDER WATER****
How many times do you smack a blade because of hair clogs? It kills so much time and actually kills a blade QUICKER because you wind up recutting clogged hair in the blade.
************************
An obvious warning: When the guard is off use some common sense when shaving please.
No side to side motions at all. You will kill yourself.
Just shave with a normal shaving motion and don't twist the blade at all. Its real simple, don't be scared but don't be an idiot.
Soap and gel up with cream.
Take the bic and watch how quick that m/fkr takes hair off.
One stroke and its all gone. No clogs, no patches or nothing.
If it starts shaving rough at all simply switch for a new razor.
I'll never shave any other way like this now. Obviously do not go near your face with a bic, and stay away from joints, underarms, nipples etc. Its prefered to have one blade with the guard to do the really tiny areas that an unguarded razor would wind up butchering you to death with.
I also do not use Nair because it stinks, its terrible for your skin, causes lot of chemical reactions, and can hurt like a bitch.
So anyone looking to try a new way to shave body hair try this.
Also another thing I always do is when I soap before I shave I leave the soap on my skin and put the gel over it. It provides much more lubrication.

The End
ps. should go w/out saying but the privates are obviously off limits as well.
