Another advantage of trimmers is when you hair starts receding you just go from beard straight over your head. Someone should tell Trump to get some, he'd look a lot less ludicrous.
General / Off-Topic The shaving foam and band-aid industries are in cahoots!

Wow...Im a dying breed then considering I still use an old cutthroat razor and almost never cut meself...when I do, thats what a bit of pink bogroll is for. Then again, my face is weather beaten from decades of working outside in the elements...maybe thats a factor, maybe not...maybe I dont overthink it in the first place and just shave.
My m8 has a beard...calls the RAC to change a flat tire...go figure ^

The more I aged, the more I find that the shaving is a chore
Although rarely I find however that it is a pleasure

I haven't shaved for 40+ years. Started with a cut-throat, tried a safety then electric. No good. Always cuts or a nasty rash. Now it's a regular No. 2 on the head and a similar trim with the trimmer.
Totally agree, boiling water, shaving soap and a brush. Foam dosen't make bristles supple enough to be shaved
Radiation is a hoax invented by the radiation suit industry
Foam clogs up multi blade razors and shortens their usable life.
A cheap single or double bladed razor with ordinary soap is almost self-cleaning, in the shower.
Indeed, the boiling water has an incredible efficiency in the contact between the skin and the blade
Shaving cream has been my revelation of the past few years, but even more so when used with a brush. A tiny amount then does a first go with the grain and at least a second run against the grain, all without leaving the cream residue that used to take a lot of washing off.
I always used to use gel for a wet shave. Cream seems to last a lot longer than gel, but perhaps that's more because my wife doesn't use it on her legs...
I may have to do a test with gel and a brush to see if it is actually the brush that works for me, rather than the cream specifically. I don't think the gel would be quite thick enough to get the same result, but still better than foam. As I understand it, you get cuts when there are larger bubbles in the foam. Gel is better at avoiding the bubbles, but possibly the brush is more thorough still at applying whatever you're using.
Are you suggesting, Mr. Yaffle, that you shave your entire body?
I can thoroughly recommend to all the Japanese sanpatsu - it's a haircut/shave combo. Your hair is washed before and after the cut, and your face is shaved. Your eyebrows are tidied up and those "how did that hair get SO long?" eyebrow-monsters are removed. Your ears and neck also get the same treatment, along with a head and neck massage. Then you get some kind of cleanser/moisturiser rubbed into your face, with hot towels and an IR lamp.
It feels amazing.

But with the cream, it is also a wet shave if you rinse the beard before the application of the cream ?
However I do not know the gel, so I do not really know what I'm talking about here
