A moderately close shave

[Neil4Speed]

I ask this with a unblemished record of staunch heterosexuality, but...

I want to have a shave, where it still leaves say 3-4 mm of stubble kinda on my face at all times. What kind of razor would I get etc.

When I shave with a straight razor it shaves right up to my face and leaves nothing.

Your shavin to hard on your skin , also try changing the blade , it might be giving you a bad rash , and could make your face look really messed up.

Sorry, by Leaves nothing I mean its a totally clean shave, which allot of people look as a good thing, but I want just a little bit of stubble, between 3-4mm

Just get a beard groomer kit and use the razor on it's lowest setting. Did that for years....

[hussein]

remember that shaving your face with a razor helps scrape the dead skin off though, i think. i dont know if thats an issue for you or not.

5 Oclock shadow any one??

Try buying older electric shavers, cause I know my old phillips would leave to much stuble to even be called a shave for my likings. Since I got a new phillips, it leaves my skin smoth as a babys bum!

peace

yeah i have an electric shaver and on the back its got a trimmer and it leaves what i think your looking for

[Nissanaddict]

Yeah, most electric shavers trimmers should do the trick. I'd do that, but I get it after an hour anyways. :S

^^^ what they said

[statick]

Face it Neil, you can't grow real facial hair:poosie: haha. Get an electric trimmer/shaver and put it to second lowest setting (as the lowest setting is probably one that would give you a clean shave), and go nuts. We'll discuss it more at the library...

Hair clippers with no plastic guard is what I use to trim up my beard - leaves the hair about the length you're looking for

Exactly, the electric phillips one i have has a trimmer, and when i just use that for a shave it will leave exactly what your looking for.

I ended up getting this, it was kinda an impulse buy, but it works very well, its adjustable as to the length you want it.

Thanks for all the imput btw.

I just shave completely and in almost less then a day, I get that stubble what you're talking about. I dont like any beard at all, even though sometimes when I get too lazy I leave the stubble. But I pretty much shave almost everyday if I am heading out.

[CI_Josh]

For me its all about rocking a playoff beard. :bigpimp:

But other then that, Mach 3 and Ultra Sensitive Edge Gel.

[natejj]

Hmmm....

Dont shave one day, wake up at 3 am, and shave.... when you wake up, VOILA! 3-4 mm.

[Graham_A_M]

^ or just shave when you go to bed.

[Payner]

shave within 15 mins of getting up when your face is still puffy
