You wont believe the way I shaved when I was younger

[Ace$N8s]

When I was in my late teens early 20's I was always rushing prior to work, so I used to just dry shave. Yes, I am the creator/inventor of the waterless Dry Shave. No soap, no water, cheap, easy and fast, however not necessarily painless. All it took was a cheap disposable razor, a Bic in most cases, and some fortitude. The process involved gritting your teeth, looking in the mirror and going to town, splash on some Skin Bracer, "yeeeoww". Then off to work.

I finely changed to an electric shaver, then to semi-regular shaving with a multi & goo.

Now that I'm DE shaving I don't think there is anything from my perspective that I would consider to be overly irritating or uncomfortable.

the sad part is, my story is not too different from yours. Hard to believe how far we've come.

One of my former student workers is a dry shaver and can't understand the fuss with brushes, creams and soaps. I believe he uses a Fusion.

i thought i was the only one to do a pure dry shave.

I dare you to try it with a feather in a slant
or any adjustable on 9

i started using catridges and some hand soap turned into a meagre thin lather on my face

How about a Futur with a RP or Astra wide open?

I used to dry shave with the yellow bics too
until I discovered crisco

The only time I totally dry shaved was in basic training when I had about 30 seconds to shave before I had a man in a funny hat 1/2 inch from my ear screaming something about my mother.

I do believe I've done that too, but that was many years ago. Ah, the foolishness of youth.

 

[RichGem]

During part of my college years, I sported a full beard and dry shaved my neck pretty much daily. You know what? It never bothered me. Nevertheless, I have no desire to go back to those unenlightened days.

 

[JPM]

Yikes! I can feel the razor burn just thinking about it.

 

[JeffE]

Have you seen the picture of Keith Richards doing a dry shave with a crap single blade Bic disposable and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth? I could not find it, but it's out there. So you have some good company, anyway!

i've dry shaved my neck area with a disposable. no harm done. but that was before my enlightenment

I've never shaved without water, but before discovering DE razors, my standard practice was to sport a moustache and goatee and just make a single WTG pass on my cheeks and neck using hot water only. This was the only irritation-free way of shaving for me.
