It's almost all I use to lineup. Sometimes I'll use the t-outliner, but if I'm feeling lazy I won't bother.

I don't know how some of you guys manage with the mach3s and stuff.


Yo, pardon my ignorance but what is that on the left...? I stay with the Mach3 but sometimes irritattion is caused if I try to line up to often(I have to shave against the grain). Will somethin like the T Outliners or what's on the left get a close shave without cutting my face/neck line?

Thats a straight razor.

Not many people use those at home these days, generally you go to a barbershop to get that done correctly.

(i envy those who DO use a straight blade at home though)

so about those pics of your face.....

 

[that dude173]

if your face gets irritated when using a mach 3 against the grain..STAY AWAY from using a straight razor against grain too..that will give your face thebiggest irritation you have ever experienced i learned that when i was younger..now immune to it

Yea I use a str8 razor at the crib. But if dude is looking for something where hes not gonna get nicked then thats not the way to go. I dont cutmyself with it anymore. But I know the first time I got myself bad and the next 4 or 5 I ended up with cuts because you have to get the right angles for yourface. Gotta keep it str8 up and down. If you go side to side or diagonally with it you gonna get gashed.

So if your planning on starting to use a straight edge you better be prepared for some cuts the first couple times. But after that, ya skin be baby smooth andthe lines be crispy. So its worth it. But thats just the warning ill give for first time users or it.

 

[omgitswes]

so is it just impossible for some men to grow a full beard?
cause i can't grow one for anything, i'll got a weird booking goatee going but nothing other than that

 

[primavera vills]

My beard is massive right now...I'm gettin' it cut before Christmas tho, probably this week. Gotta take pics and all that.

 

[kiddin like jason]

This is what I usually keep:

Not really worthy of posting, I know.

I've had my share of grizzly joints, but it doesn't grow well enough for me to keep it for a long period of time.

This is the only picture I can find:

That was either two or three summers ago. I clearly didn't believe in neatness, and my mustache still didn't connect.

My barber uses a straight razor on me and I still get cut.(I have sensitive skin) IMO Its too expensive and tedious to be messing with a straight razor. Therazors are pricey.

You serious? Its like $5 for a 50 pack of double edged that you can split in half. Basically a 100 pack for $5. That sure as hell beats buying a 3pack of mach 3 blades for 20 bucks or something close to that.

i had to shave mine, my face started itching and i get a lot of ingrown hairs when i dont shave

I'm referring to the blades my barber uses. I remember him telling me he paid around $100 for a pack. He's old school type barber so he wont be usingcheap blades.
