Shaving woes

    Fellas, having a problem shaving and it's freaking me out. I find myself shaving more as I get older. I'm shaving twice a day now and and to be honest, it's a pain in the ass. I long for the days of when I got that first good shave on Monday and wouldn't have to see a razor again until Wednesday.
    Am I alone with this shaving problem? I am open for shaving suggestions.

    Don't worry about it. Just wear a shirt to cover your back.

    Shave up not down, buy a better razor and buy better creme.

    Not after shaving it twice a day, you don't.

    Here's the thing. I've changed razors, going with the new Quatro. I use edge, which I've always had good results with. Yet that five o'clock shadow comes every day and I never had it before.
     
  7. I haven't tried it myself yet, but I've read a lot about the high quality shave you can get with a safety razor. From what I gather, the short-term costs are high, but you spend a lot less in the long run and you get a better shave than you do with the multiblade razors. This site has a pretty good rundown...

    I'm one of those people who needs to shave twice a day if I'm working at night or if I'm going out. I'm usually OK, if I shave with my Gillette Fusion in the morning and then use an electric to maintain late in the day. I can't use the electric on its own, because it doesn't work on my neck.
