Dexter intro where he shaves
- Thread starter kmain
- Start date
For someone who is usually so good at prep and is that skilful with a blade, he makes a pretty poor job of shaving!
Looks like a Bic disposable with no blade in it. They show a close up of a XTG pass he does and no hair comes off. He should be using a straight with a good lather! And Dex would never nick himself!
i watched every season over the course of 2 weeks, being jobless has its perks, and this guy ALWAYS has a 2 day growth. shows him shaving, but then hes never clean shaved.
The intro is great. It is probably the only show where I don't skip the intro but watch it at full length. And the soundtrack..., just fantastic. The shave part is the only part that is not working.
It always makes me mad when he takes a dab of toilet paper to stop the bleeding... and then applies it to the blood drip itself and not the source of the cut. Anyone else notice that?
Plus, he really should be using styptic

Yeah. Everything's wrong about this part of the intro. They should have consulted with B&B members but then the the shaving part of the intro alone would go on for 20 minutes, lol!
I think the point is more to show the blood, so the nick is necessary.
EDIT: I agree, Dex should be using a straight.

I'll agree with Michael C. Hall on this one: http://nymag.com/arts/tv/goodtvguide/66076/
It makes no sense for a man of his profession to not shave with a straight razor or kamisori and not be exceedingly handy with it.
Didn't like it even before I started wetshaving.

True, I guess. We are a weird bunch thinking he should use a styptic pencil. However he does try and clean up with a tissue so you can show blood and proper nick/weeper care!

I'll quote a portion article for those who don't want to click link;
"Only one person objected to Anderson’s visuals: actor Michael C. Hall. He hated the idea of his character’s cutting himself while shaving. “The worst thing he would do is draw his own blood,” he argued. The producers overruled Hall, who still wasn’t onboard when they were shooting. And he was in character. “Michael’s an intense guy,” says Anderson. “He’s looking me in the eyes, saying, ‘I don’t get this shaving thing.’ To me, honestly, he was Dexter.”"
case closed
He should really be using an electric.
When Dexter gets a sharp instrument in his hand there is always blood, and usually lots!

Agree with the straight part - Sure he would be BBS forever
I'm a huge fan of the series.
He probably uses a custom made handle and some head (with 0 blades I assume) and some transparent gel.
The intro is really artistic, even if he is doing it all wrong lol.

his gums don't bleed when flossing...
the shaving/blood is strange, considering how precise everything else in the intro is.
but perhaps that's a type of commentary, foreshadowing the troubles he seems to make for himself.

Well that is why he has stubble all the time...he never learned to shave properly
His dad was busy teaching him how to kill, not shave
I read this the other day and have been realizing how annoying it really is that the blood specialist cuts himself. The actor is said to have tried to fight about taking that part out...and I just realized that in the intro not only does he cut himself shaving...the entire intro he still has stubble.
If this is true, what was he shaving?
