What I hate about shaving.

[qhsdoitall]

If there was one thing you could say about wet shaving that you don't like what would it be? For me, it's a personal quirk of mine. I'm not a true perfectionist by any means but sometimes I regret the standards I try and hold myself to when it comes the the quality of my shave. I try too hard to get it right and therefore, I sometimes end up getting it wrong. That little extra stroke here or going after the little patch there. Bugs me. I want a BBS dammit. :D

[rick]

I cant get BBS everytime.......my face will not allow it.
But thats half the fun, isnt it ?
The challenge of the whole mess......

[IsaacRN]

For me.....

I cant shave every day. I get BBS on a 4 day growth..but tear up my face if i do an every day or every other day shave. Im destined to have to shave once every 3 days or so.

It is fun though :)

I like old style things. I enjoy the straight/mug/brush.

I have an old bakelight telephone that weights a good 300lbs :rofl that i would love to get working again....just to hear the old bell ringtone.

I'm with you qhsdoitall. Dam it I want BBS each and every morning. Each time I come out of th at shave den I want to truely be able to say that I have the best shave money can buy for the least amount of dollars. My super speeds are delivering that each and every time. But I really do not like the idea that I need to keep buying these blades each and every time. I like the idea of buying the blade once and never having to buy ever again. That's the straight, the price is holding me back, don't like the idea of spending $150 for something that I don't like and I do not know how to use at this point.

I hate not having enough room to proudly display all my brushes and colognes. The joys of sharing a bathroom with the wife :ashamed001

Don't try and make up now. :rolleyes:

[Michael]

[Brigadier]

The only thing I hate about wetshaving is that I can only do it once a day. :D

[PalmettoB]

Wait...this is still The Shave Den, right? I saw this thread and figured a troll had snuck in on us when we weren't watching. And it's a MOD! :eek:

Just kidding, Rich. I do hate that I can't make myself get up early enough for a straight shave some mornings and settle for a DE shave. They're good, don't get me wrong. But I love my straight razors!

[TstebinsB]

Well, I can get BBS shaves every shave and I can shave every day. Those are no longer issues, thank God. My two concerns are razor bumps and hyperpigmentation.

Razor Bumps: I don't get them that much anymore but it takes of a lot of work to avoid razor bumps. I can have a week of great, BBS shaves and one bad shave will cause a breakout. Very annoying.

Hyperpigmentation: Using harsh products for my adolescent acne left my skin inflamed and sensitive. As a black person, hyperpigmentation happens less quickly to me than on white skin but lasts longer. I'm very particular with what I use on my face because it can take years for your skin to recover!:eek: Shaving with a razor blade can inflame my skin more so I have to use a very gentle razor (Schick Krona, Merkur HD or Progress) and not do too many passes (3 max).

In all seriousness, I don't enjoy the bathroom-cleanup portion of the shave too much...

[mercV12]

I agree. I make a mess... water on the floor, water / shave soap on the wall, the mirror.. everywhere. My wife hates it.

[qhsdoitall]

The right sink design can make a big difference. The one at work. Forget it. The one at home. Much better.

What I hate about shaving? When I have a bad shave and have to throw in a days break to heal up...

[Cutthroat_trout]

I too hate when I have a bad shave day, but fortunately in the year and a half I have been doing this I have had probably three bad shave days. I need to face it wt shaving works for me. :D

[patrisVII]

Shaving.

If I could grow a beard that does not make me look like a serial rapist I would never shave again.

For me, wet shaving is all about the most efficient, effective and comfortable way to scrape my face and so minimize the trauma I may cause small children and those with weak constitutions.

[Padron]

I kinda hate that I only need to shave once a day, maybe if the beard grew in a bit faster....I could get through some of the products in my bathroom :rolleyes:

[mastermute]

:rofl

Well, what I hate about shaving is that I rarely take the time I really should to make it "perfect". Not BBS perfect, but a calm, relaxed experience to start or end the day.

For me it's not about BBS, for me it's about "me time".

[Padron]

Me time is nice.....I used to have more of that....where did it go?????????

[crackstar]

I hate having to shave fast.

[jbcohen]

Those cartridge and electric razors. They are theworst part of shaving.
