I use an "atseli" (what's the English word actually?), shaving cream "Siberia" and "Troynoi" cologne  :D

That's one sexy tool! Is it Japanese or Chinese? I wouldn't mind owning one. As for shaving...I shave against the hair growth with loads of shaving gel that smells like a man but smooth enough for a woman, with long gentle motions of the wrist. It works pretty well. The interesting thing is that although I do love that stubbly look on men, my skin is not so facial-hair friendly. Stubbles irritate my facial skin terribly.

 

I don't know how men go through it every morning shaving their face, I get annoyed with the whole leg factor, but a face...

 

I wonder how waxing would be on the chiseled male cheekbones? It will probably send them squealing under the bed. But waxed skin is so pleasant to the touch and lasts so much longer than shaving.

 

EDIT: By the way isn't it a bit dangerous with that shaving blade and does it have really different results from the regular razors. I'd like to try it once on a man that is. Hmmm...Christmas is coming up.

It's German Eve jan. And the difference is that if you go on using it for several years you look like Ataman Burnash. I did use it for a couple of weeks and quit after a deep cut under my chin :) This thing is not for people in a rush :) I knew you will like it ;)

This is one of the strangest dilemmas I (and I guess all men) face. Some realy tough shaving schedule is necessary to suit this taste :)

Actually I shave on a daily basis as well. But I have become so good that I shave in the shower without a mirror or anything. :) I use a razor though.

I've been shaving for a year electric Norelco 6423 LC with great smooth results however after a year use I am looking to replace.

Any recommendations?  No razer blades thanks.

Armat, here is what you need. You will find the product in the ethnic(read black) aisle of the drugstore, inititially designed for those whose curly hair would defy shaving and curl back into the follicles.

 

SevMard knows all about it. :) :)

Barium Sulfide and other sulfides, such as Calcium have been used as depilatories since times immemorial. Hairless Egyptian priests come to mind.

CAUTION! Do Not Search! You may run into some unsavory sites.

At one time, men and mostly WOMEN were to prepaere to go the the "hamam" they had to have four essential ingredients; the "ghar saboon"/daphneh ojar", the "kav/kil/clay" to remove the oil off their hair, the "henna" to dye their hair of the head, and the "zarnikh" to remove the hair in other places than the head.

 

Barium Sulfide Depilatory;

http://www.bartleby.com/65/de/depilato.html

 

The depilatory of that time, as it is today is known as "zarnikh" by speakers of the native languages of the ME.

 

Arsenic/Zarnikh, A misconception as "zarnikh" is the native word for "arsenic"?

 

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/ww2/A2654769

 

Arsenic has a deeper etymology. 'Arsenic' is derived from the Greek word arsenikon which in its turn is derived from the Persian word az-zarnikh with zar meaning 'gold'. Gold? Az-zarnikh probably means 'gold pigment' which in Latin is auripigmentum - this later mutated to orpiment. Yellow orpiment is the name of the yellow arsenic containing mineral (arsenic sulphide) which the Greeks, Romans and Persians used as a dye and for medicinal purposes. The element arsenic was probably isolated for the first time from this mineral in 1250 by Albert von Bollstadt (aka Albertus Magnus).

 

"zar" is the Persian word for "gold", just as in "dziran/dzirani", the golden color in our flag, Karmir/Kapuyt/Dzirani.

Why do we call the dice used in nardi/backgammon "zar" ,the "shesh/besh/six/five" cubes we cast? Were they made of gold at one time?

I know men who shave their chest, because they dislike the hairy look. However, I think that a severely hedgehog chest is worse than a jungle. Shaving your chest must be one of the most annoying and tedious things in the world. What if the man is of huge proportions, it would take at least 2 hours to do the job and then call the plumber to fix a serious pipe damage. What are they thinking? Men are truly enigmatic creatures.

Why not?  Give the Schick Extreme III a try and I highly doubt you'll want to go back to electric. A pack of 8 easily lasts me like 6 months or more and I shave every day.  There are not many things out there that are better than this ... except maybe the Quatro which is much more expensive and not worth it IMO.

style_images/master/snapback.png

i have the quattro, its not good, its gets clogged, and takes forever to shave.. i dont use it anymore, i use gillet mach 3.. but once i used the regular cheap ones that come in a pack of 8 or something in bags at camp, and i honestly think those work better.. so.. i use that now. haha

 

but for electric shavers.. i used to, not good IMO because they irritate my face more, and the heat of it is REALLy annoying..

 

also, less acne(pimples/zits) i think with razors.. for me anyways.. i dont have any acne since i started using razors again. good enough excuse for me not to god back.. lol..

 

BUT, my electric shaver, norelco 7800 is great... i gave it to my dad..
