Shaving razors

[jaret]

I know at some point during puberty you shave your fuzz on your face or maybe shave down there. I wanted to know did you buy UR own razor or did U get one as a gift?
How old were the 1st time U shaved UR face?
Did U have chin fuzz or a mustache fuzz?
What brand or type do U use? :yeah:

[LiberalTurboprop]

I bought them myself when I was 16 and finally decided to get rid of the fuzz. I recently switched to a metal safety razor though. You change the razor blades themselves in it and it's double-sided.

I got it as a gift

[Bikini Boy]

I buy my own. For my face I use Gillette and for my pubes I use a women's Venus razor.

[MasonBA]

Gillette that Dad gets me, use it maybe once a month for mustache area

With almost 13 I asked my parents for shaving stuff and they got me shaving gel and a razor no questions asked. Not sure what brand it was but they aren't very different.

Just before I turned 14 my mom came to me with a razor and shave cream and told me that I needed to start shaving. I shaved about once a week and gradually had to increase shaving. By the time I was 15 I could grow a full beard and did so the summer between 15-16.

[justa16yearoldaussie]

i bought my own razor at the start of last year, its a Gillette (i buy new blades obviously) and i shave my entire face (sideburns, cheeks, chin, moustache) once or twice a week

[bondsboy]

bought my own, just the disposable ones

[user-999]

Bought mine when I was 16, it was (still is) Gillette.

[ska8er]

I started shaving my face when I
was 16. I have an electric groomer
and I used disposable razors.

[logan2002]

Use Gillette, started with fuzz on face at 14, leave pubes alone. Still hate it when I gig my face. You know when it happens, and wait for the blood

[Boredgoose]

I bought one for myself when I was 15

[JayJay07]

Don’t need one yet but I think you have to be 18 to buy one myself, would have to get my parents to get me one when needed

[ska8er]

U have to be 18 before u can buy a razor? :confused:

[JayJay07]

Do you prefer the shave of a safety razor, or did you switch because of cost?

[ska8er]

In the uk yes

IDK-Crazy it seems. Are they scared a teen
is going to kill themselves?

Think it’s to stop people using them as weapons

[ska8er]

Think it’s to stop people using them as weapons

So over 18 its OK not to expect it to be used as a weapon?
Anything goes over here.

Think they expect over 18s to behave better

[ska8er]

Yeah Right? :woot:

We're talking about disposable razors, or safety razors, not straight razor blades like the barbers used to use, right???? :rolleyes:

I've never heard of any country doing that.

Can people under 18 purchase a pocket knife or a kitchen knife?

[SouthernDude]

my parents bought me a Gillette razor when i started getting peach fuzz. I was almost 14 when I shaved first

[LiberalTurboprop]

Ehh. It's easier to cut yourself with it but I like the level of control it gives and the heavy metal handle feels nice. Mainly the cost though - my current one was about $80 but you can get like 50 blades for about $20 online.

I have gone this route myself. There are a lot of razors out there, but while the cartridge razors seem convenient, they are very expensive and only give a GOOD shave before they dull or get clogged. Just google "wet shaving" and you will know what I mean. I got a qshave for my birthday last year and it a lifesaver.

No can’t by any blades including scissors if your under 18

[Zika]

I hate to sound ethno-centric, but man that's weird. You can't buy scissors in England until you're 18?

What's the expression that's used derisively about the British safety department?

Update: Elfin safety committee.

$80 is a lot of money for a handle, but you're right; a guy, my dad's age, so he shaves everyday, recently told me he uses that and his box of blades lasted him over a year.

otoh, Gilette Mach3, a USA brand and model of razor, sells blades for $2-3 each. You usually can get the handle free.

It's a much nicer handle though. Stainless steel and chrome.

It sounds nice. If you're into shaving, like really geekly into it, there are a couple of shaving forums.

Mustache fuzz, I got my own with babysitting money
