Worst thing ever - shaving

[khashka]

I hate hate hate it .

Yeah yeah, girls have it bad - legs and underarms. But girls put a razor blade against your face and you'll know the true meaning of fear.

I hate this.... but I do it every day. When does being a guy become fun?

[TheProphetess]

1. I hate it too

Thank goodness the Prophet doesn't mind stuble on the legs and underarms 'cause there's no way I can do that every day. In the winter, I do it rarely (until the hairiness starts to annoy me).

I don't think I could shave my face every day. Yuck.

[Call Me Wesley]

2. Yikes.

I refuse to do it every day.

[tjwmason]

3. Before I openned this I wasn't quite sure of the meaning.

Was it going to be a post saying that shaving is the worst thing, or stating what the worst thing to shave is.

I don't personally find much trouble shaving. I always do so straight after my shower when my skin is soft, and use a non-foaming gel it all seems to be perfectly jolly to me.

As for when being a guy becomes fun - well that would get the thread locked, but I think we both know when it is. :evilgrin:

[khashka]

10. Well I could have done

" my lover tied me down and shaved my whole body" with a straight razor! He barely survived.

It will start to be fun when I finally get your trousers off :)

4. Shaving sucks, but hairiness is worse

and since I'm half italian, that's a neverending fucking battle let me tell you.

[Omphaloskepsis]

5. True..

And fuck it.. Check this out.. The other day I realized the blades I use on my Mach 3 were a stocking stuffer from Christmas 2004. That explains the pure pain I feel when shaving.. 28 year old man-child I am.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

6. I refuse to put a straight razor to my face

I use a beard/mustache trimmer, so I always have scruff. I cant use a straight razor cause I break out and get ingrown hairs

[GirlinContempt]

8. mmmm scruffy

;)

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

11. I concur

:evilgrin:

:hi:

[Hoooweee]

29. i have horrible ingrown hairs...

i just use my sister's foundation on them so they're not bright red for all to see

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

53. haha

i have had to resport to coverup too, but no longer shall I hide! I use a trimmer so I always hae a 5 o'clock shadow. screw trying to confirm to that baby faced look :P

[alarcojon]

39. Here's to scruff

:toast:

I haven't applied a razor to my face in almost a decade.

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

54. woohoo!

:woohoo:

Once again, :yourock: alarcojon! I only have about 6 years with no razor :D

[fizzgig]

44. scruff

i lurves me some scruff

rowr!

[MadAsHellNewYorker]

55. me too!

woof! :bounce:

[Deja Q]

7. Some men shave areas you probably don't want to know about.

and, trust me, people from both genders would be freaking out over that... :scared:

Oh, I'm not one of those men. I prefer the forest, for better or worse... though I've always asked why it's there in the first place...

And when does being a guy become fun? Well, *ahem*, about 20 minutes in...

[yvr girl]

9. In where?

:eyes:



Women shave or wax some freaky areas too

[khashka]

13. Oh

there isnt a single part of my body that hasn't been shaved.


But I'm gonna leave you to yivver - she's a much better flirt and cuter than I am.


Khash.

[xchrom]

35. i do that -- i figure it's only

polite.

[evirus]

12. get an electric

never shaved with blades, the thought of putting something sharp so close to your kneck brings up darwinistic thoughts

[khashka]

14. I'm an old fashioned guy

with a strange fascination for sharp objects. Straight razors R Me.

But shaving? Ick.

Khash,

[evirus]

15. my girlfriend uses one of those sprays

you know one of those spray on foams that gets the hair off the skin or something like that

[khashka]

16. Tried that

somehow it works different on your legs and on your face.


There is no easy answer. So I'll just be the hairy dude - there are worse things to be.




Khash.

[evirus]

17. yah for instance

there are plenty worser things to be..... that which comes to mind first is a republican moral police

[Radical Activist]

18. i love my electric razor

it makes life much, much easier.

[xmas74]

19. Shaving's nothing.

Try deal w/ cramps, bloating, moodiness and the possibility of not making it to the bathroom before a leak once a month!

[khashka]

23. Yeah I get it

Sorry my mistress. You do know that an orgasm is the best thang?


Boys, go down on your girls. Some times they need it, sometimes they just want it.



Khash.

[xmas74]

24. Just crabby today.

I have the flu.

[WritingIsMyReligion]

25. HAHAHA!!

Oh man; that is SO fucking true!

:rofl::rofl:

:D :D :evilgrin:

[xmas74]

26. It just plain sucks.

And wait until you get older and have a child. The frequency, timing and amount seems to change.
I used to be two days and no cramps. Not any more!

[jobycom]

30. You eat at Taco Bell, too? nt.

[tjdee]

20. Try behind your knees, pal.

The idea of putting a blade to my neck isn't great, but if I could do that just to avoid triple the time shaving the underarms, the legs, the thighs, various other femininescaping....

Plus, you could always grow a beard. Women with hairy pits/legs aren't usually seen as acceptable.

[khashka]

27. Women with hairy pits

Don't bother me at all. I had a lesbian friend who quit shaving her legs - she wanted to do it but wasnt
easy with it.
That botherd me.,

[CaliforniaPeggy]

21. My dear Khash!

Have you ever grown a beard? My husband hates to shave too......

So he has a beard with moustache....it's fantastic! I love it too.....

Soft and silky...yummy! See?

[ghostsofgiants]

22. I shave maybe once a month. I grow very little facial hair. It's great.

I need to shave now, but I need new blades for my razor. x(

[Hoooweee]

28. thank fsm for weekends

two days without scraping the top layer of skin off my throat and face

[Call Me Wesley]

31. OK, obviously

khashka doesn't like to respond to me at all. I'm OK with it, I'm getting over it, even after this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=105&topic_id=4624402&mesg_id=4625620

and this:

http://www.youtube.com/w/Rowan-Atkinson-%26-Kate-Bush%3A-%22Do-Bears...%3F%22?v=86kil-7AmiU&search=mr%20bean

No, I'm getting over it. No worries. Really.

[bridgit]

48. what are you griping about, CMW, you never respond to me anymore...

either :shrug: :rofl:

[Call Me Wesley]

52. Not true.

I'll always respond, if it happens during my time-window of joy! ;) Otherwise, I might be asleep ...



:hug:

[bridgit]

58. heehee, and this appears to be the proof positive...

B-)

[Rabrrrrrr]

32. OMG! I *love* shaving!!

I use a brush, and some wonderful shaving cream from that amazing pharmacy in Manhattan, and a mach 3 razor.

I totally love shaving - very relaxing, meditative, and wonderful.

[khashka]

45. Trust Rabrrrrrr

to have the opposite opinion...
Can't say a goddamn thang -if I didn't like him so much, I'd have to hate him.

Khash.

[Rabrrrrrr]

47. I used an electric shaver for years - I never even learned

how to use a real razor until I was in my 30s, when my girlfriend taught me. I had always found shaving a necessary evil, but once she showed me how to use a razor, I fell in love with it.

I used Burt Bee's shaving soap for a number of years, until I discovered this new (to me) shaving foam from that place in Manhattan (CO Bigelow is the name, now that I remember it).

And I've never gone back to the electric, and never will. I love the ritual - warming the brush with the hot water, working up a lather, foaming the mirror (I shave in the shower) so it doesn't fog, foaming my face, and then the shave itself. Then, when the shower is done, putting on the after shave lotion from CO Bigelow that reminds me of the Mauna Lani's spa on the Big Island and keeps my skin soft and wonderful.

[Initech]

33. I hate shaving and what's worse is I have a really thick beard

I bet I could grow a full beard in a week if I didnt shave!

[SmokingJacket]

34. Go natural.

A nice clean beard smells good and is full of pheromones... mmmmm....

[LaraMN]

36. "When does being a guy become fun?"

Around here,it depends on when the kids go to bed.:evilgrin:

[DemoTex]

37. My solution:

Not the umbrella or the wood cooker. The beard.

[henslee]

38. I have one word for you...Kiehls shaving cream for men.

I got some for christmas... oh.... my... god.

[usedtobesick]

40. Dude I hear ya but... warning a commercial coming

I bought one of those new Gillette Mach 3 razors and I don't even have to use shaving cream anymore. Just wet my face and shave, no burn no cuts just smooth skin... I really love it. They last forever and I have rough beard with tender skin.

[Elidor]

41. I havent shaved in years

I have a beard trimmer, but not a beard. I just set it to the closest setting and trim up the whiskers every three days or so. There's not a razor made that won't rip my tender skin to pieces.

[Fox Mulder]

42. I hate it too.

I shave about once a week (my facial hair grows really slowly...thank god). But I still hate it. I have really sensitive skin, so I get shaving bumps from time to time. That shit for treating sensitive skin by Gillette doesn't work at all for it, either. :grr:

[AussieDave]

43. Grow a goatee - at least it cuts down the area you have to shave

plus they look great !!!

[NNadir]

46. My wife forced me to shave before dating me.

I'd had a mustache for well over a decade, and a beard most of the other time.

I hated it at first, but for 20 years I've kept my face clean, with the benefit of an electric razor.

[BikeWriter]

49. It's been probably three years since I shaved.

[bridgit]

50. then i do have it easy, i'm so 'light' i don't even have to shave...

my legs & hubby does not require that i shave under my arms or wear make up...am i spoiled or what :shrug:

but now i know what to get you for x-mas next, khash http://www.norelcostore.com/index.asp

[DanCa]

51. Try shaving with dyskensia in your hands.

Every morning my bath room looks like scene in air port where the guy keeps hacking apart his face.

[anarch]

56. you know, I would just go ahead and let my beard grow

if it wasn't for my job (which doesn't specifically have an anti-beard policy, but they are frowned upon) and my girlfriend (who does indeed have an anti-beard policy).

I don't like haircuts, either. I guess you can take the hippie out of the crunchy-granola commune, but you can't take the crunchy-granola commune out of the hippie, or something like that.

I can hardly grow a beard, anyway, just a scraggly-looking half-beard. Too much of some kind of non-European ancestry I think.

[realisticphish]

57. To be honest

I grew my beard because i hated shaving my chin. Bic razor + contours of chin=severe blood loss.

and don't say use electrics. electrics are for commies.

[TimeChaser]

59. Ugh... I've taken large patches of skin off my legs before

I once shaved off piece of skin about a square in in size from just below my knee... it bled like crazy... Then I got a smaller piece off when I slipped shaving above my ankle. x(

[ScreamingMeemie]

60. Cramps are worse.Trust me.
