Is that a big ole zit dying on his left cheek? I would've waited until it was all gone before filming this, personally.

Moving this video to NordlichReiter's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.

I used my grampa's safety razor one time and cut the hell out of myself.

Never again!

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.

Shaving or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love My Beard

3 passes?! This man is clearly insane.

Also, beard ftw.

Shaving is complete and utter waste of time, especially if you do it like this.

I attach razor blades to my fan... to save time!

I just ordered a Merkur, one hundred Feathers, and a badger brush from Fendrihan 'cos I'M WORTH IT
