I figured you'd all throw a big fat hissy fit if I didn't temper the observation.

Tempered, like the steel blades of the Gillette Fusion.
I really don't appreciate your sarcastic, anti-comedy tone, Bro!

I've been growing a beard since mid-December and I gotta say that not shaving has been nice.  I know I'm going to have to eventually, though.  It just feels like a chore I'm putting off because, at heart, I really don't want to do it.  Anyone else find themself in this kind of bind?

I too haven't shaved for a while, but it's coming off Monday morning.

Back to work.

Why?

I'm starting to look like Brian Wilson during his "lost years".  I also need to
slim down too, you see.  And stop spending entire days in
bed.

I finally relented and shaved.  I've got a comedy show Wednesday night and didn't want to Go with the "Jam Band Fan/Al Queda" look.

I'm a fan of the Fusion - my one complaint is that the razors are costly and dull quickly. I usually change mine weekly and I shave almost every day.

I really only shave after a hot shower as my skin is sensitive. A dull razor is like shaving with a weed-whacker. I've tried a lot of different shaving creams but I prefer the 99 cent Gillette stuff that comes in the red can. A good aftershave lotion can do wonders for the condition of my skin.

I really do need to upgrade my shaving game - brush, soap, and a safety razor. That would be some real next-level shaving.

You made the right decision. You look pretty clean-cut and all-American in your avatar photo.
I'm warning you with peace and love.

Whoa... you braggin'?

Those things cost 2 bucks apiece!

When I first really started to need to shave daily I bought one of those old-timey double edge razors and I thought I was the coolest.



After about a year of that I tried one of the Gillettes (probably only 2 blades) and realized shaving did not necessarily have to include going to the hospital for a plasma pick-me-up.

I'm not bragging at all! I've tried keeping the blades around longer but the quality of the shave goes downhill rather quickly.

It costs a fortune, that's why I'm looking into other shaving options. Thinking about how much money I've spent on blades makes me cringe.

My advice is go for some 1990's Style sensor. It will save your face and pinch less in the pocketbook.

I've been told I should be in movies, but I don't see it personally.

I've heard that they are the real deal. I'm just waiting until I can free up some funds to upgrade my shaving apparatus. Those brushes are pricey!
