Dunno? Surging testosterone levels overwhelmed the trimmer's sheet clutch?

Slower than a tractor with a slasher or grass cutter, but faster than the little motorised weed trimmers or a (small) motor mower. Also, as @griefer_queafer says, gets you a free workout!

Race car drivers, sky divers, scuba divers, high voltage line repair guys, anyone who works around machinery, tree trimmers, .......etc. Lots of jobs out there can kill you in freak ways that no matter how much you prepare you'll still die. And none of the stuff you're working on will protect you either when those things happen.

At least with an animal, if you're in a pack of them one going nuts might end up being the pack of them on you or the others protecting you. A lot like groups of people...once you get enough people together, one guy doing something stupid go either way. More people joining in or people quashing it.......

Think it'd be cool, especially if you raised them....you could probably tell more easily WTF is up with a big cat than WTF up with your teenage daughter.

I've maintained some form of facial hair since I was a freshman in High School (at that point it was ridiculously long/tall but sparse sideburns). I hate the way I look after a clean shave, and hate razor shaving in general, so the most I'll ever do is trim down to stubble with an electric trimmer.

Most of the time, I'm rocking the Abe Lincoln beard / Amish chinstrap (no trimming/shaving to make it artificially even, just natural varying height from jawline up the cheeks). I used to shave my moustache area with an electric razor, but I've gotten too lazy for even that so I now just trim it down to stubble when it gets ratty. I'd like to just go full-on and incorporate it into a full beard, but unfortunately my moustache still seems a bit sparse compared to my beard at 30 years old. I'll get there eventually I think.

Occasionally people will suggest/hint that they think I should shave, which I suppose is the 2010's equivalent of "get a haircut, and get a real job". But personally, I prefer the way I look with a beard and I hate the feeling and hassle of regular shaving, so it is an easy choice to ignore the naysayers and keep the beard going.

I'm amazed at how many guys say stuff like "doesn't it feel itchy to have a beard like that?" -- in my experience the answer is NO, not at all; the itchy part is between a fresh shave and stubble. So if I were to shave regularly, that would be every day, all the time. Screw that noise...

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.

Anyone else...
...feel like the clipper\trimmer clips should have been in black and white?
...feel disappointed that he never actually drawled "lawnmower onna stick"?

>> ^rottenseed:

65%? That's only 15% over half. Big fuckin' whoop. I'll stick to long and hard thank you very much...


Exactly. Apparently that leftover 35% are the cool chicks who aren't all high-maintenance. Plus, it says, "would rather".

The end should be more like, "Guys, do you want to attract chicks who have a problem with facial hair and who will annoy the shit out of you when you don't shave for a day or two? GILETTE BLAHBLAH XTREME IS FOR YOU!"

And some beard trimmer company should have a responding ad that shows a bunch of dudes with beards and chicks touching them. It'd say, "Yep, sometimes your beard gets you laid all on its own."

What's the deal with the blonde's haircut? Looks like her hairdresser's also her hedge-trimmer.. Did she get a free bowl of soup with that haircut?

I'd imagine that I just don't have proper technique, but I get a lot of irritation any time I shave with a disposable single or multi-bladed razor. I've never tried using a safety razor like this myself. Here in Thailand, there are lots of barber shops and I can get a shave with a straight razor, but I tend to get irritation with that also.

In general, I'm far too lazy to take the time to even attempt to get better at razor shaving. I'm nearly too lazy to shave in general, so I prefer to let my beard grow. I trim my neck down to short stubble with an electric beard trimmer, and I do shave my mustache area with an electric foil-type razor.

I find it very odd that many guys complain about beards being itchy. I leave my sideburns and jawline at about 1/4 to 1/3 inch, with goatee about 1/2 to 1 inch long. I get some itchiness if I deviate from that and actually shave, but once it is any longer than short stubble that goes away completely. As for looks, my beard isn't very impressively full, and a bit sparse in some areas (I don't really grow enough hair to connect my mustache to goatee for a Van Dyke, for example), but I still greatly prefer the way I look with beard than clean shaved.

Still, interesting to see how an old fashioned safety razor shave would be done.

my beard trimmer has a heftier sound than this whizzing lancer.

also i didn't see him hit a single hooker

Personally, I use my electric beard trimmer.

My girlfriend gave me a beard trimming kit for my birthday last year. It has two different removable adjustable guide heads - I use one upstairs, the other is used downstairs. It works.

Just saw this on Huffpo, I was gonna try to submit it, but you beat me to it, Fisk!

Its like a cautionary tale - what WOULD happen to bare skin if exposed to a weed trimmer...I wonder...

Commence the *NSFW Shit!

Aww man, that one about the razors with five blades is funny as hell!!!

"They predicted not only the number of blades in Gilette's Fusion line of razors, but also the Lubrastrip ("Put another aloe strip on that fucker") and even the trimmer blade that rests on the back of the cartridge ("Make the blades so thin they're invisible. Put some on the handle. I don't care if they have to cram the fifth blade in perpendicular to the other four, just do it!"). Most importantly the humor doesn't come from an absurd number of blades, but from the nationwide pissing contest between Gillette and their competitors."


put some on the handle!!!!
