Who hates shaving?

Some of my friends can't even grow a fucking mustache. I remember being one of few who hit puberty very early (one of the only ones in school with facial hair), making fun of my friends' nonexistent peach fuzz. :p

But recently, my facial hair has been growing so fucking fast and when I leave it, the hair irritates my skin (resulting in bumps and whatnot).

Having to shave every 2 to 3 days sucks. :( And shaving every day would suck even harder.

I hate shaving, but if I don't shave daily, it's quite noticible. Some of the time, though, I just don't care and let it grow for a day or two. If I don't have any important meetings, I don't really care what I look like at work.

I hate shaving. Since I have sensitive skin, it doesn't just bug me right after I shave but 3-4 hours afterwards.

A mustache only looks good on gay guys and cops. I shave once or twice a week usually when somebody asks me if I'm growing a beard.

I hate shaving with a blade. I'm annoyed with electric shavers. I switched to a Braun Activator two months ago, and I'm pretty pleased with it, but I still get a little irritation. Electric is still far more convenient, and I don't get any cuts so I don't have to worry about adding in time to allow the bleeding to stop before I can be seen in public.

Even with the electric I only shave 3 times a week. Probably should be doing it at least every other day though.

I'm kinda lucky. I only can grow a mustache and a hair on my chin,but nothing on my cheeks. And I'm 25. Must be the Swede in me. I still hate shaving though.

I shave like once a month. Hooray for orientals who can't grow real facial hair?

That's like my room mate. I was so entrigued, I had to ask him about it.

"Do you EVER grow hair?" :lol

I hate it as well. Fortunately being blonde I can get away with not shaving for longer before people start asking when I last shaved. So it's only like once a week or so.
 
I was going to make this exact same topic earlier today! I fucking hate it! My facial hair grows so fast that I have to shave in the morning before work then again at night if im going out.

Plus I need a new shaver, mines starting to pull the hair out instead of snip it and it fucking hurts.

Why would you bitch about shaving every two to three days? I HAVE to shave every single fucking day!

I HAVE to shave daily as well. I just don't, because....I hate shaving :)

I'm dark haired, and light skinned.

Good thing is I usually don't give a shit what I look like. :D

Stubble is manly.

I hate to stereotype but probably all black guys. About the only thing I envy white guys, asians, and all other people who don't get razor bumps. Goddamn curly hair.

I shave about once a week. Usually after 2-3 days it's pretty noticeable, but thankfully I don't give a fuck. :D

I actually enjoy shaving, it's just that I don't usually have enough time to do it properly.

I've had a noticeable mustache since I was about 11, and started shaving way earlier than everyone else I knew did. I got all kinds of shit for it. :( It's still pretty bad for me, but at least at this age it's a nice way to look older than I really am. :p

I too shave in the shower no need for a mirror you can feel it is you miss. Also you don't need all the nonsense such as shaving cream or after shave.

needs to show more effort.
shaving fucking blows. I should shave every day. But I just end up waiting till the itching starts driving me insane enough to get off my ass and shave.

I always say that shaving is the only disadvantage men have against women... I hate it.

Where do you live that women don't shave? :D

Anyway I've had a beard since '91, but I still shave every day to keep it shaped properly. I use a Norelco electric razor, works fine. And I trim my beard with an electric trimmer roughly once a month.

I hate shaving, mostly because I'm lazy. If there were some kind of chemical solution to the "problem" that didn't really screw up your skin, I'd consider it.

But in the meantime, I use this:

Electric razor that can go wet or dry. It also uses some proprietary Nivea lotion (or something). I'm happy with it, it's definitely better, and gets closer than my last Norelco, which was strictly dry only.

I have been shaving since year 8 I had the claim of the hairiest guy at school, I luckily don’t get much body hair. I don’t mind shaving I like having “designer” stubble so a shave every few days I also wax my eyebrows which is way more frustrating.

I despise it. I guess I've been shaving...oh I don't know... 5 years now? And in 5 years I still get incredibly raw skin afterwards or cuts. I don't know if my skin's too soft or my hair is too tough and I have to press down too hard or what, but nothing works.

And believe me, I've tried everything. Foam, gel, in the shower, electric razors (I cut myself with an electric razor! It has a fucking guard but I had to press so hard to actually get it to cut any of my hairs that it somehow managed to get to my skin), cheap normal razors, expensive normal razors, vibrating razors, 4 blade razors, cutting it as short as I can with scissors before shaving, leaving it 3 days between shaves, leaving it one day between shaves...nothing works! Drives me mad.

Actually I haven't tried a cut throat yet. Given my record with safer razors though, I'm frankly scared to.

I used to be jealous of guys who had dark hair (I'm naturally blond) because they could grow facial hair.

I eventually just stopped shaving my chin for a month, and something actually appeared. It was a goatee! The key to my facial hair is that it starts really light, but as it grows longer, it becomes as dark as my hair.

Currently I have sideburns and a goatee, but now I'm going for the full beard.

I don't mind shaving at all. I love the stubble the day after I shave.

Serious question, why doesn't everyone just use an electric shaver? They're cheap and it takes about 15 seconds. No hassle at all.

I have sensitive skin, and all the electric razors I've used has irritated the hell out of it. I tried many brands, but I still got acne like crazy, not to mention bumping and redness like hell.

I switched to normal razors and my skin's loved me ever since.

I only had the bad mustache action in year 8 I got the bad beard action in year 9, like I said I have little body hair for some crazy reason.

I am half Greek so I think that explains my hairiness.

Shaving sucks. It feels like such a huge waste of time in the morning, especially when you are in a rush.

And electric shavers don't do shit unless you have no facial hair. Otherwise you spend a long ass time and it isn't half as close as a razor. The best shave is still going to a barber with a straight edge, the M3 power Gillette is a distant second.

I really should shave daily, and I'm in highschool, for chrissakes. It's not something I look forward to, but I tend to do it every other day or so.

I keep a blowtorch handy just in case any random dude tries to shave my beard.
Awsome beard!
When you get old your gonna look just like Marx.

But I feel the blow torch while it would be fun beyond belief is quite impractical, lighting it isn't as fast as a gunshot. Change your methods Raoul the Jury will hang your ass for burning somebody!
