    Gillette sent me one of those quintuple blade razors for my 18th birthday. How they know who I am and that I was turning 18 is beyond me.

    My god, what else might they know?

    My guess is that they hired a private detective to find out any dirt on me they could

    so they probably know all about my war profiteering

    uh-oh

    you'd better hide your secret nazi blood diamonds inside a safe at the bank that you own that nobody knows about, except somebody does and they dress up everybody else just like them in order to throw confusion of the theft of your safety deposit box and subsequent revelation to the public that you are a bad person

    I get it! I get movie references

    Not if you have sensitive skin and thick facial hair. I used to be fine with single blades when I was in high school and a bit later but not anymore. The hair on my neck and chin comes in pretty thick and I need more blades to avoid razor bumps.

    I hate shaving. Must be done to avoid the neckbeard, but it seems like the damn razor just ignores the hair and decides to feed off delicious blood. I am the only person I know to have drawn blood using an electric razor.

    When I wrestled, at one tournament, the refs told like 5 of us to go shave.
    We get to the bathroom, nobody has a razor. We ended borrowing a razor blade from some kid from Fulton and trying to shave with that. It actually worked fairly well.

    What's an epilator?

    It's an electrical machine that pulls hairs out. My mom uses one. I just wax. It alls comes out at one time.

    Yes they do. They cut better with less strokes and blades las longer. Maybe I have extremely sensitive skin or something but if I use the single blades I get bumps and red spots and I always shave out of the shower.

    i use shaving gel and use multiple razor blades and then get in the shower

    that makes sure that my hair washes off my face and then i go back to the razor to check up any spots i may have missed or didn't get thoroughly

    my hair is tough like a boar

    Something about chafing from stubble, and how it's distracting or causes someone to loosen their grip or someshit.
    All I remember is, you had to make sure you were shaved and your nails were trimmed.

    Chafing from stubble can lead to skin infections.

    Nope. Some wrestlers do though. Makes you leg harder to grip, less friction. Like a swimmer, see?


    Course, they's the team "stress hole", so maybe that had something to do with it.

    It's called a "brozillian."

    This seems to be the place that would be adequate to express m.y hate. I hate the Schick Midnight like no ones business. Despite four blades it still leaves stumble and pain. Never buy this razor. I have a strong dislike for the Schick Midnight and thus a personal animosity towards the Schick company

    I shave my legs (and chest, happy trail, head, arms, etc.) once a year. Actually feels really cool, though pretty chilly. Very smooth.

    I think leg hair growing back is the most painful thing ever though.

    The fuck are you talking about? I never saw anyone shave their legs for wresting and bare legs are easier to grip.

    The only leg shaving I saw for sports outside of swimming was in football. A lot of players shaved their ankles prior to taping them up.

    Was it summer or something? I shave in February, so I still wear jeans and stuff. the stubble rubs against the pants and I get all sorts of horrible ingrown hairs. Seriously hurts more than anything.

    Yeah, I've shaved my legs in the winter before. Never had a problem.

    i don't have thick hair, so maybe that has something to do with it. i don't know.
