My nickname in college was Castro...and not just because those fools can't tell a Puerto Rican from a Cuban. I could go grow a full beard just like that. I'm like a freakin chia pet.

Well, I can grow fast in "other" areas, but not in the facial hair arena! I don't have a nickname though for quick growth of the nether region.

Me neither, although my wife does call me "goose bump" for some reason.

Fushion is good, and I just got into the battery powered razors which seem to help.

Really?
I hate trying new out new razors because they are so god damn expensive. But it's worth it if it improves the shave.

Well the only reason I tried it out was because they did not sell Mach3 razors replacements at the store. I was soo pissed because damn Gillette comes out with a new razor everyday and their old ones become outdated.

So I had no other choice beside the Fusion that was battery powered with one AAA battery.

It seems to help IMO, and the "amazing technology of FUSION" is actually good.


Have you guys seen that commercial, it is the most ridiculous thing ever. They make it sound like they fused some nuclear elements together to create some great new technology. Only thing the are fusing is one tiny blade on the back....it is the dumbest thing ever and it almost pisses me off as much as the Wendy's whistle.

Re: F...Shaving
 

I use the fusion but i dont really like it, im still a big fan of my sensor excel, just 2 blades but its hard to find replacement blades for it anymore..

Re: F...Shaving
 

For anyone who likes the fusion or wants to try it, get a free one [URL="http://walmart.triaddigital.com/enhancedrendercontent_ektid10926.aspx"]here[/URL]

Re: F...Shaving
 

I just got the Panasonic ES8162S Pro-Curve razor and it really is fantastic. I have difficulty shaving because I have the combination of a sensitive skin, thick stubble, and a strange shaped neck. I was using the fusion before, but I get less irritation with the Panasonic. I would recommend it for anyone out there who is, like me, a special needs shaver.

haha nice, i just filled it out, i could always use another fusion so i don't have to buy some replacement blades when my current one becomes dull.

The fusion actually is the best I've ever tried, but the razors are expensive as hell. The only reason I use it is because they sent me a free one and I'm too dumb to buy a different one.

Re: F...Shaving
 

Just dumped my Schick Quattro for a Merkur Razor...what a world of difference.

Re: F...Shaving
 

4 years later and I'm still using the Fusion, although I did upgrade to the Fusion Pro Glide. Doesn't really make much of a difference IMO. I'm going to have to downgrade to something cheaper when my blade gets dull though, because I can't afford another pack of the expensive Fusion blades. Any recommendations for something cheap yet still does the trick? Nothing battery operated though, I tried that route once and I prefer the hand touch instead.

I run through blades once a week...one year supply of fusion blades cost almost 195 bucks while one year supply of a a Merkur Razor blades cost 28 bucks.

Re: F...Shaving
 

I had a horribly traumatic experience in boot camp regarding shaving and I have royally hated shaving every day since then.

Wow, I used "nether region" back in 2007 on this post!

Last year for my birthday, my wife got me a pretty fancy shaving kit-what with the pre-shave oil and badger brush.

Loving it!

Mine just got me a kit for my birthday. That prep stuff realy makes a difference.

I have used the brush stuff in the cup and it really does a great job.

You sold me on the Merkur by pointing out the cost of the blades. Gonna order one right now.

Which did you switch to? My Fusion does a fantastic job...(I tried a Quattro and it was a fail)...but as already mentioned the cartridges are just an arm and a leg.

Re: F...Shaving
 

I love the fusion too, except when it comes to buying the blades.

I'll second Matty on that one, I'm gonna order a year's supply for the double edged razor off Amazon tonight. My Fusion blade is already dull and even though I'm happy with them there's no way I'll pay 12 bucks for another 4 pack of blades again.

Re: F...Shaving
 

Guys I definitely need some tips in this department. I use a Fusion Pro after warm shower and I still feel like I am tugging in the goatee region. Should I switch to a blade?

Also, does anyone recommend a particular trimming kit for maintaining beards. Each one I have tried in the past has been horrible.
