Wet vs Dry Shave?

Always used electric, but now almost 20 years after starting to shave I have started to ease myself into wet. However, I don't like to be clean shaven, and just this week I have bought a beard trimmer - used it today for the first time and it's brilliant. Only 20 notes from Amazon. Still wet shave though for shaping purposes. I had got to the stage where I was shaving once a fortnight or so, but now with this I'll just do it once per week (on a Sunday morning, cos it's easier then - according to Lionel Richie).

 

Up to the point of I wasn't so depressed of having to shave my head with a bic I was always electric but now it's wet all the way.

I even find wet quicker and easier

 

Get a beard trimmer (Phillips best), take the guard off and set to "0", never need to wet shave again, goodbye to beard rash and expensive blades.

 

Wet. For everything. If there's going to be some friction, I want some lube. Doing anything dry is uncomfortable and just results in cuts and blisters.

 

Both at the same time. Many electric razors can be used wet for a closer shave, or dry when in a rush.

Mine will be severely challenged today after 11 days in the wilderness with no razor. I look like that fisherman bloke on fish fingers packets.

 

Why is it that when your in your teens or twenties a bit of stubble and you look like Beckham or a multitude of film stars but when you get into your fifties you just look like a down and out scruff.

 

Agreed, I look like a serial axeman killer on the run from the FBI

 

Like Keith Hill. I like my stubble/beard, but really hope it doesn't make me look a scruff a bit later in life.
