I used to wet shave at first but it takes way too long. You have to constantly rinse the razor because the hairs get stuck between the blades after only like 2 or 3 strokes. With shaving cream you can do about half of your face before you need to rinse
I wet shave because I'm a classy gent with baby smooth cheeks

Are we talking about the face or the back, sack and crack?

Use scissors for the sack tbh. Careful though

I used to, but found it's much quicker to dry shave :smile:

I'm a recent dry shave convert. I reckon 65-70% wet shave.

Dry with electric razor is the most comfortable way.

I haven't shaved properly in 12 years.
I just use an electric stubble trimmer. Always set the length to 4mm, because this has been proven by polls and studies to be the most attractive length of facial hair on average and it looks good on me, so yeah :biggrin:

I use a trimming machine for my face and trim my facial hair. Everywhere else that I remove hair I shave:h:
I use a double edge razor.

A years supply of razors is £7. Shaving soap which lasts for ages is even cheaper. The lather isn't as pipe-clogging as shaving foam. It takes longer and you have to rinse a lot, the technique takes a while to master and you sometimes have to make multiple passes (as in, you have to shave 2 - 3 times for the closest shave). It's relaxing, and I can get a military standard shave in about 15 minutes (including shower and drying my hair).
