Are you clean shaven, beard or stubble ?

[Gunk]

I have a Circle, extended goatee, or Van Dyke beard depending on how you define such things and if I was concentrating while shaving that morning.

I recently heard this about a Van Dyke, which I think is rather marvellous:



I want to make a T-shirt with this.

I shave every couple of days with a "Safety Razor" which works far, far better than more modern alternatives, a fact known to shaving companies when they marketed their new 'disposable razors', but the disposables have higher profit margins.

They’ll sell well! 🤣

When you're a bassist in a rock band you tend to do daft things like this.

Recently my dear friend Hulk Hogan has started copying my style.

It’s Lemmy 🤣

I am sure it is easy but I have never used one I find the concept a bit scary!!!

When I started shaving it was with an electric one - which I stuck to for many years - so my Dad never showed me how to use a proper razor

Once you learn how to use them they're perfectly safe. You'll have a few nicks and cuts the first few times but after that it'll be the best feeling shave you've had.
The basic rule is, don't put any pressure on the handle. Use the blades natural weight against your skin and don't force it. Use decent blades too. The cheap ones are crap.

No... It's STILL Lemmy!

A definite hint of the late, great Lemmy there!

I was thinking more of my bass playing idol, the great Derek Smalls.

Head and face shave every day! It must be so smooth that not even the slightest hint of stubble should be left!! 🧐 These were taken today at 5.01pm. My last shave was at approximately 1400 hours yesterday!🧐 I'll be shaving the bonce in the shower tonight, then I'll do the face before going out tomorrow.🧐

Proper shaving with a DE razor and some nice saving soap and aftershave. Mostly because it's a bit of self care and I enjoy the ritual. Plus I tend to get chapped lips and it's much more comfortable without stubble.

I've previously had many types of facial hair, from full beard to handlebar tache to ridiculous burns. It's a laugh, innit.

Same here, apart from the chapped lips, but I did have a handlebar and triangle on the chin until about six months ago.

The other thing I note nowadays if I don't shave is that stubble has a lot of grey in it. If I did grow a beard, I'd probably end up looking like Uncle Albert from Only Fools And Horses.

Definitely a look I would like to emulate 🤣

Not sure I would look cool with a beard
what with the "head of less hair than average" and all that


On another note
those who wet shave - what lubricant do you use (stop sniggering at the back - you know what I mean!!!)
I sometimes just use a bar of soap but normally use shave gel
I find that one can of gel last for months if I use the absolute minimum every time
(unlike the adverts where they seem to use half a can to shave one hair!!!)
