Title: Suggestions on a 3-day?
Post by: waliguy on November 11, 2007, 04:23:30 PM
Got back from hunting tonight...and I think that 3-day growth is gonna need a morning mowing.

Suggestions?

Probably a hot towel to soften up everything for a while.

New blade?  Take it slow...do doubt.

Man, I never go more than a day...but for the deer you can't look or smell too purty.

(Not that it helped much...  >:( )

You can always use some clippers to get it down closer and then use the blade.

You should be fine...when i first started shaving i let it grow back i think about 5 days because i wanted hair back  :P but once i did shave it again i didnt have any problem with that shave....just had to wash the blade out a little more each time

Get a good soaking in the shower, then use a fresh blade and just take your time.  I've shaved up to a week's worth of stubble without using a clippers first and it was no problem.

When I was going through my back-and-forth shaving and regrowing phase a few years back, I remember going to a barber to get shaved.  I had a #1 buzz that had been grown out for a week.  I was nervous as hell when the barber smeared some lather through the stubble and then took a straight razor to it.  I'd expected him to use the clippers first. I thought my scalp would be in shreds, but he did a great job.

You should be ok with a 3 day growth, just make sure you soften it up a bit first. I've been known to go a week without shaving, but I wreck a Fusion cartridge trying to shave that much growth in one shave.  :/O
