Thread: Shaving Elsewheres...

Like many, I find that shaving elsewhere other than the face is something that I do regularly and maintain. Now I have not yet invested into a straight razor yet nor a safety razor and still shave with a Gillette Fusion razor. I must confess, for other areas of the body, I am not quite sure how proficient/safe safety or straight razors are but this cartridged razor does work fairly well, and does not cause any real irritation. What do you fellas think?

Ok if you are talking about manscaping a straight will work very well. Chest, arms, legs, etc... You will of course have to be careful as you would when shaving your face.

If you are refereing to shaving the genital region,

I would air a great deal of caution! I myself would NOT attempt that.
The skin must be taught, and there would be too many curves to navigate safely.

Just be careful.

And if you cut your self, don't think happy thoughts!

Any other comments gentlemen?

To many, this is a fairly basic and courteous form of grooming. :P

Holding a straight razor anywhere near your meat and two vegs holds the door open for ... unfortunate accidents. I would strongly advice against it.

However, there was some talk about such things in the "Project Coochie Razor" thread.

Any word on other areas such as chest?

I keep my cartridge razors around for just this purpose.

I've been straight shaving for a few weeks now but still use the disposables on the chest and nether regions. I don't think I'd ever use a straight on the latter, but the chest should be possible. Though the valley between the chest muscles could prove difficult. Maybe I give it a go any time some and let you know how it went.

Don't do it! One slip of the hand and you change from a rooster to a hen.

If ever there were a time and place for a "safety" razor....

Works better than a disposable, on account of the blade not getting so all clogged up. So I hear tell.
