Title: IF U had 2 give up your favorite...
Post by: warhawk on August 19, 2009, 08:19:18 PM
hello fellow chrome domes:  if U had 2 give your your favorite razor versus your favorite shaving cream/gel... which one would U give up?  favorite razor or favorite shaving cream/gel?

i'll start:  i wouldn't want 2 give up anything but if i had 2 choose one; it would B my favorite gel (BALDGUYZ shaving gel).  i couldn't give up my favorite razor (the manual fusion).  my back-up or 2nd favorite shaving cream or gel is headslick.

so... how 'bout U?  which one would U give up?  favorite razor?  or favorite cream/gel?  also... include your back-up razor of choice or your back-up shaving cream/gel.  so.. what's your story?

I would have to say straight up I would give up my shave foam (I don't have a favorite yet, but working on it), but I have to keep my fusion, the little grooming razor on the top means that crease in the back of my head gets clean.

I would give up my favorite razor.  Some razors get just as smooth.. just take longer.  O0

My razor of choice is a headblade whether it be the ghost or the sport.

The razor i would use if i couldnt would be the persona m5 magnum

I will say again that you will have to take my Fusion from my cold dead hands.  Headslick, I really like, but bc it's getting harder to find in the retail stores and I don't like to buy that kind of stuff on the net, I could be changing that anyway :(.

I would give up the HeadSlick first, I can fall back on the other gels/creams in my rotation.
No way I'm giving up my HeadBlade!

I would give up my Foamy and switch to Barbersol. No way I would give up the manual Fusion.

Razor.  I have found close seconds, but I love my shave gel.

I can give up my fusion for a Mach3, but I would much rather give up whatever cream/gel I use.  I have not settled on a final cream yet. They all seem to be fairly equal in my book although I don't really care for all of the menthol that most seem to have.  My bathroom counter is full of crap now just for my head and face.  Thank God I am not married or I might have to give up most of it.  :)  I ought to take a picture to demonstrate the mess that this has created.  Gotta get things narrowed down.

I've got loads of unused items, things that didn't work for me, in drawers, under the sink, just about every place.  AND, I still go by the shaving section in every store I enter that has one!  Someone stop me ;D ;D ;D.

Well, considering I ran out of shaving cream in March and used soap until August because I was too lazy to buy more shaving cream, I'd have to say I'd rather give up shaving cream.  I could give up my Gillette Powered Fusion too.  I think it fits my had great, but I used the Mac 3 for years and never had a problem with it either.  So I could go back to it if necessary.

I could give up the shave gel (Head Lube) before I give up the Mach III.

I'd have to say that bald guyz gel is my favorite, but I'll go with giving that up because I already have, I just use shaving oil now.

I have to go along with my fellow HB'ers and say "Not without my HeadBlade!"  Yes, HeadSlick is awesome, but I can make other creams or gels work.  My HB Sport with the Sensor Excel cartridges is essential.

I think I need to change my answer.  I stopped using my headblades for about 2 weeks and went through the all the razors I had... Went back the headblade.  Cant give that up!

 You can have my Razor when you pry it from my cold dead hands.

I do a headblade/Fusion Combo on my razor.. I use the headblade then clean up with the fusion.. The fusion blades last longer this way.. I couldnt do it without those.. I would switch my headslick.. I would hate to do it.. But it would be gone way before I parted with my razor..

I'd give up the cream/gel...I can get away with most anything, so it would be more of a safety thing for me to keep the razors I use.  I've only cut myself twice since going sly (4/11/2007) and can only guess that is an ok stat.
