tips you may not have had to learn to shave with a mach 3 or whatever:
* relather if you go over the same area again -- always have a barrier between the razor and your skin
* don't press
* learn your beard grain and shave with it. if you are really badass, maybe shave perpendicular to it. shaving against the grain not recommended
* shave after your shower, use warm water. splash cold water on face after
with a mach 3 it barely feels like you're using a razor you just flail it over your face not giving a fuck
this absolutely feels like scraping an unbelievably sharp blade across your throat
it is manly as fuck
are you using a safety razor?
yeah, you basically have to relearn to shave
I cut myself a lot at first
basically the only time i ended up cutting myself was when i was being too lazy to relather and just wanted to 'touch up' a spot
also i recommend starting with sharp blades (like feathers)
apparently a lot of people cut themselves at first? and warn against sharpness until you get the hang of it. but i think having something so sharp (and thus requiring so little pressure) is what helped me to not fuck up my neck

But I believe you are over simplifying the situation on the ground in Tunisia. Especially with regards to Ennahda's power structure, the belief that the rural areas are looking toward it as a militia (where did you get this?) and the power struggles that so far are political in nature.
Now I think you would have a point if Ennahda was a Salafi allied movement, which they have worked hard to marginalize in the country. Ennahda hardliners are no were near the Islamist militant base that would lead to a 1991 Algerian style civil war. This is excluding the intervene factors like a stronger military and a very power and connected oligarchy which helped instigate the dissolving of the Algerian parliament and the elections.
Top it all off the focus on some of the interviews I have read and from first hand accounts from some folks I know are pointing in a different direction with more a concern on economic matters and not knowing how to fix them.
I don't see an Algeria brewing just yet there. If this destabilization leads to say a Salafi power grab then you may be right but I haven't seen that yet either.
I have a gloriously unjustified yet confident faith that, save in highly unusual circumstance, rural conservatives tend to think in reactionary, non-pluralist terms
guilt by association, if you will
the militarist tendency is part and parcel of the reactionism
On break from my Japanese class so this will be quick.
I tend to think most rural members of Tunisia and many countries are more concerned with food, a roof over their head and their live stock due to the inherent differences in development between rural and urban areas. And tend to be less focused on violent extremism unless pushed in that direction of some sort of external force.
It is urban elites of one vein or the other that tends to quietly due the pushing. So a lot of rural v. urban are political elites using proxies.
Or so goes my thought process. I think rural conservatives tend to be more reactionary the more they have to lose.
well basic needs are popular with every poor electorate
the difference is who they blame for not getting it
and farmers tend not to object to more grazing land being liberated by force.
with a mach 3 it barely feels like you're using a razor you just flail it over your face not giving a fuck
this absolutely feels like scraping an unbelievably sharp blade across your throat

I cut myself a lot at first
Sounds like work.
I'll just grow beards forever.
I got a lot of irritation on the face and neck from a mach 3
safety razor did away with that
it makes sense -- each pass with a mach 3 is 3x the scraping of a safety razor, with more than 3x the irritation (blades 2 and 3 on the mach 3 don't have the same barrier of lather that blade 1 does)

Interesting.
I don't really have a problem shaving in the shower with no lather and a disposable Bic, though.
Also, I'm a giant sissy.
Allegedly a voice of reason.

I use a flannel soaked in warm water to get my skin ready for shaving, I usually don't bother shaving with/against the grain, my facial hair grows all over the place so it'd be too difficult, I just shave straight up and down. Seems to work! I have some nivia moisturising after shave balm I use sometimes which I am currently dousing my face in to stave off razor burn.

i use one of those bodygroom pro things for my junk
it works great for everythign above my balls
haven't figured out a good solution for the balls yet
I've been thinking about trying one of those for ages, but it's not worth it if it don't handle the sack
On either side of the device are clippers for closer shaves. They do not go on your balls unless you can stretch the skin out right. In between the two clippers is a guarded head that you can rumble across your wrinkled sack without trouble.

that's why i can wear these "juicy" stretch pants

yep, i got my merkur today
i did quite well for a first try i think, not the best shave i've ever given myself but didn't cut myself
i am now cancelling out the manly by moisturising like a mother fucker to try and mitigate some of the razor burn i know i've given myself
I shave with the grain, AND THEN AGAINST IT
And I can file this "juicy" lawsuit for false advertising.

good for my face, good for my junk
safety razoring my junk is not an option
My sack shrank two sizes upon reading that.

I got caught unexpectedly by an NCIS episode where this suspect grabs a scalpel and slices his own throat and oh my God it's just terrible.
I would literally rather touch spiders and have spiders crawl on me than be sliced.
I've been thinking about trying one of those for ages, but it's not worth it if it don't handle the sack
I'm going with this for $200, Bob.
wow
haha
WOMEN = WHALES
I've sliced fingers and stuff when I worked in kitchens. That was bad enough for me.
ok so i'm about to start saying some shit under this line, but
basically what i do is grasp some hair between my thumb and index finger and trim what i'm holding
but obviously this can only get it so short
if you want it close trimmed, god knows
you'd have to go in a hot room, stretch it out like pizza dough etc
Right, as in: The patriarchy
It's intentional.
i was looking at the two cells that look like titties

this is what I usually do due to laziness
but I feel best after safety razor
hot bath and a fusion blade
smooth
Yank on it until you're hard and your balls are nice and tight then shave that shit.
It's easy and fun.
