What is this, 1937? Why don't you just get an electric shaver?

Electric shavers don't work. I've tried 4 of them.

I've got one electric shaver right now that works great assuming you've got less than 5 o'clock shadow, but can't shave anything longer than that.

I got the idea of using old fashioned razors from Battlestar Galactica, honestly. They have a bit of a fetish for scenes involving old-fashioned razors.

It doesn't help that my beard is to a regular beard as rigatoni is capellini.

Really? Because I'm a fairly hairy fellow, and I have a Philishave shaver that works pretty much perfectly for me. If I wait much longer than a few days between shaves then I have to use the trimming attachment before I can shave normally, but aside from that it works great. Certainly, it's easier than going through the trouble of putting on shaving cream and having to rinse the shaver every five seconds and all the other rigmarole that goes with non-electric shaving.

Do what I do: grow a beard. Trim it once a week with a beard trimmer. Take the trimming attachment off to put a line on your neck and cheeks, then use it to shave the stubble above the cheek lines and below the neck line. Stubble will still be left behind, but hey, you have a beard. It's expected. Being clean shaven is for suckers.

I wouldn't trim my beard at all except I don't want to look like Osama bin Laden. Makes some people jumpy.

Still too fussy. Do what I do: Get some hair clippers and just do your whole head at once whenever you can be bothered.

I can't understand how there are actually people who shave their face every day.
