Wet, or else you get that "not so fresh" feeling.

wet shave with dull razor! still works a lot better than electric, which at best gives a 5 o'clock shadow immediately after shaving.

Dry - (water only) But with a new razor.

Cheap Bics are my favorite - Those Mach 3 things must be for Michael Jackson, 'cuz my Neanderthal face clogs those bad boys up with a quickness...

Can't help it - I'm a hairy basturd.

Big fan of the Mach 3, for some reason unknown to me I got on their mailing list and got sent one for my 18th birthday, loved it to death, but man, they're expensive to get new blades for. Go with the dry shave for ultimate smoothness otherwise

Way to be Mayhem, real men don't need mirriors. Not to mention it's alot easier to clean the shaving cream residue off in the shower then in a sink, IMO.

About a hundred or so WHP. ;)

According to Gillette, the turbo has anti-friction blades and twice as many microfins. I just needed to replace mine and decided to go with the boosted one.

Nah, I'm sporting the handlebar moustache(sp?).

J/k, but it is suprising how many people are running around with them (my shop teacher, in his 50's... I think its a midlife crisis thing)... personally I'm against unless you can beat me up.

geez hitman, you old man, no sideburns? i have sideburns, uneven of course. but i don't think they are trendy. i've had huge sideburns since i was 15. at one time a guy at work said my sideburns looked like a beaver, they were so bushy. also one of my managers said i should grow a mustache and connect it with the sideburns, but not grow a full beard as company policy only allows mustaches.

Mine grows so fast I have to have a pattern to avoid shaving every day and still look professional:

Week 1, day 1: Start clean-shaven, look weird.Week 1, day 2: Good shadow, no more weirdo.Week 1, day 5: Too thick, trim it down to shadow.Week 2, day 3: Shave off sides, make goatee.Week 3, day 2: Goatee too long, remove moustache, leave chinny-chin hair.Week 4, day 1: Remove chinny chin, leave little patch under bottom lip.Week 4, day 5: Wife hates little patch, shave clean, start over.

Ever seen those little magnetic boards with the pen and the metal filings where you draw the facial hair on the guy? That's me... :D

HAhahaha....Lewis Black is awesome. He came and did a show at my school last semester. I don't think I've ever laughed so hard in my life!

Oh, and WET SHAVE all the way. Every morning and sometimes in the afternoon if I'm going out (for something that matters ;) )

None of those "lily-fied" electric shavers...they do nothing for me. Same with that damned Mach III, that thing is such a joke.
