I get 3 months easily but I only have to shave once every 5-10 days.
I shave in the shower and use conditioner to soften up the facial hair.
Nose hair on the other hand...

I just use regular ol' Dial soap right after a shower, once or twice a day. My facial hair can be harvested and used as firewood, too.

Same for my ear hair. WTF ear hair?

Eh, no matter what I try, it never works sad smiley


Best thing I've found is to weedwack first with trimmers, then get into the shower, and just constantly pelt my face with HOT water, then dont dry it on the way out, and then before shaving cream, put more hot water on. But either way, my facial hair is apparently quite abrasive to razors lol

You told me they were expensive but not a couple hundred bucks. At this point if you buy one I'll kick you in the nuts. Finish your car then save money for racing. Tires are expensive you know. So are towing and entry fees. Oh and buying a truck and trailer.

I have to shave monday-friday due to work. I usually use a regular razor monday and thursday then electric for the rest. I hate shaving.

... tires wear out out. These will basically last forever, (hell, you can usually find some nice ones in antique shops... same with straight razors, but they're a bit harder to find ones where the blade is in salvagable condition..) and the blades are super cheap. They're a better investment. Besides, over the long run, 200 is not a lot. Short run, yes. Long run, no.

My barber does straight razor shaves, and always finishes every hair-cut by straight-razor shaving around the ears, neck, sideburns, etc.. It's nice. Just not practical for me to do myself. I just use the cheapo Gillette razors.
