My wife just told me to tell you all about pain in shaving. She said just try an Epilady.

Ah, yes. That's my wife's favorite instrument of self-torture too.

I have heard guys whine about their beards and shaving for years and years. You should be thankful you don't have to shave with an old double edge razor that was the "only thing in town" many years ago. Shaving with that was something to behold, talk about pain, WOW.

I have yet to find a razor that I like that gets the job done without some discomfort. I hate shaving! Why is having a beard considered non-professional...especially INSIDE The Beltway.

Try to buy your replacement razors in bulk. You can often find them on eBay for less than $1.00 each.

I tried the Schick Quattro and like it quite a bit.

I always joke with my friends that eventually there are going to be shaving "masks" with hundreds of blades. You'll fit the thing on your face, move it a centimeter up, and your entire face will be shaved. Bleeding horribly... but shaved.

A good straight razor, properly sharpened, is a wonderful shaving instrument. Lasts almost forever with good care. And you can get used to shaving yourself without looking like the victim of a knife fight in only a few years.

Keep a paramedic handy during that learning period.

Hint to a marketer. Put out a decent product at half the current costs and get 75% of the market.

I hear ya, James. Why don't we get together and start The Beard Club for Men™?

3 blades is ideal. You lose the ability to pivot the razor after that!
