Can we briefly dip in to shavechat? My dermatologist recommends I try a dry electric shaver because wet shaving with a blade is irritating my skin too much. I'm awash in a sea of possibilities and I have no idea what the difference is between a £300 Remington and a £30 Remington. e: 6 is how old I look after a shave

Can't help but feel that most people not knowing that German extremist groups use the old imperial flags as stand-ins is going to preemptively muddy the waters. These are the people that still try and say "but it's an ancient religious symbol" to excuse the use of the actual swastika.

You may be beyond that though if a dermatologist is telling you not to

How close a shave do you want? I've generally done just fine with whatever Philips have to offer for fifty quid or less. If you're going clean shaven then get one of those shavers with the round flat heads and you're good to go. I also can't wet shave; I didn't go to a dermatologist, I just noticed that my skin screamed for mercy after a wet shave no matter what I tried, and then I started growing a beard anyway.

I'm awash in a sea of possibilities and I have no idea what the difference is between a £300 Remington and a £30 Remington. Philips OneBlade is good poo poo. Very close cutting, zero pinching. Won't break the bank and the heads last months longer than they claim. Use it completely dry, no water, no soap. e/ also good for trimming a beard if you don't feel like going full Marx!

Use it completely dry, no water, no soap. Seen these about on my travels and the unit is pretty cheap. Reckon I'll grab one. Sorry folks, but I cannot grow a beard for love nor money. Best I can manage is a fairly decent moustache and the rest is patchy, unconnected shite along the jaw-line and on my neck. Not a beard worth having.

I'm awash in a sea of possibilities and I have no idea what the difference is between a £300 Remington and a £30 Remington. I'm pretty much in the same boat, I get shitloads of gross dermatitis unless I use corticosteroid creams and treat my skin nicely to prevent rashy bits happening. Really I just use a cheapo Argos clippers/beard trimmer to reduce my beard down to 1-2mm where necessary. It's tidy enough to be considered a professional office look in most places these days, and it suits most people even if your actual beard is pubey and patchy. You can faff around with electric shavers but if you're like me you'll be disappointed with the results I also use that same clippers to do the sides of my head on a regular basis and keep my look fash-fresh. So it's paid its 30 quid a dozen times over in the last few years Failed Imagineer fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Nov 1, 2018 |

I'm so happy I live in an age where trimmed stubble considered neat enough for work as opposed to everyone demanding a full clean shave 100% of the time. I wouldn't have a face left if I tried to shave down to bare skin every day.

Use it completely dry, no water, no soap. I use one with a bit of warm water to soften my beard up and it's a happy medium between face-shredding wet shave and hair-pulling dry shave. TBH if I shaved more than twice a week I probably wouldn't have as many problems but what white man in 2018 can look at themselves in the mirror more frequently than that?

I have not yet figured how to make my beard unpubey. What's worse is it sheds constantly so I leave behind a trail of face pubes wherever I go. Speaking of horrible mental images, how Incorrect is it to buy 3 copies of the daily star so the pup can shite on it?

There's an antifa punk pub in Essen that does a nice burger and has a drat good cider in the fridge. Translating the graffiti in the Kleinherrensraum is an education into what they think about Nazis, let me tell you.

I shave my beard by getting a nice lady to zap tiny areas hair-by-hair with electricity for an hour a week. It'll only take about a year probably and then I'll have literally the smoothest shave physically possible. Uh, maybe not the best option for the fashionable man about town though.

That's not a Nazi flag, it's an Imperial German war flag. Which is, obviously, used by the far right over there as a proxy, but it is theoretically possible the guy waving it really just wants the Kaiser back
