Shaving, Wet shave vs electric

Anyone else use a gillette fusion and have a problem with the head constantly popping off and nearly slicing your face up?
Just want to make sure this isn't normal before I get a replacement.

Edit: ordered a Merkur 34c with some feather blades, badger brush and some decent shaving cream.
Fuck Gilette.

I honestly have no idea why anyone would use an electric.
The glory of the routine of a good wet shave when you have the time is hard to beat.

As you say, when you have time. Also doesn't fuck your face up as much.

Been wet shaving with a double edge razor since ^^that post. Will never look back.
Used to have permanent shaving rash on my neck and its completely gone. As have in-growns. Skin is overall better.

Ive heard black dudes (or anyone with a very curly beard) tend to have problems with shaving rash etc and DE shaving just fixes that.
And its cheaper than shitty cartridge razors.

I bought an electric razor the other day - they are, not to put too fine a point on it, rubbish when compared to a wet shave, but you can shave whilst ironing your shirt in the morning, leaving more time for riding.

electric shavers are warm. yuck.

Well, I can wet shave with a straight razor whilst wrestling a bear so htfo.

You're right though, in a pinch electrics will do the job quickly.

Stubble > electric razors

Went for an Edwin Jagger DE89L, should be here soon

made this for someone the other day.
A double edge, safety razor case.

Fuck so that's where I've been going wrong, always get a rash on my neck.. Will have to invest in a double edge!

It's about two and a half years now since anything other than a straight razor took hair off my face.

I have the luxury of only needing to shave once a week or so, hence the time taken isn't an issue. Takes me about fifteen minutes start to finish.

I've got three razors now. They're quite addictive.

Where do you buy them?

A little barbershop on Fleet street...

@Murtle

You should consider.. the Vaping world…

@marom
been in it for 15 months....

I may have missed something, but I didn't see any case for the vaper..

It's marcom btw

Just bought an Edwin Jagger De89bl, will be my first wet shave in 5 years

@marcom
soz, my "c" sticks

I started the e-cig/vapor thread...and have made quite a few.

I know it's a mess.

I'll try… to looking for.

and it's @31t®um :)

How was it? What lather did you use?

Got a couple of restored vintage off the web and ordered a brand new dovo carpé diem from invisibleedge.co.uk.

Cheers!

First shave using double edge razor last night. I became aware very quickly how sharp feather blades are.
