@certainlytwice I could live with that :)

@certainlytwice I usually dont like cologne but if its natural sents and doesnt really resemble cologne then I may like it. But im very picky with smells.. would have to be natural and something earthy like cedar smell... anything too smelly like cologne i wouldnt really like.

@admitsWrongIfProven well it starts with me twisting and stroking.. once it becomes habitual the act starts to annoy me and eventually I want to shorten or pull the hair so as to stop the playing with it. It takes several days before id start pulling it.

Ifi do anything repetitively/habitually I'd get increasingly frustrated I think.

@admitsWrongIfProven It has nothing to do with patience or self-esteem. I dont particularly care if anyone thinks different if they see me playing with my beard... I dont like it for personal reasons, like i said it feels like developing a nervous tick or something.

In short, having a long beard starts damaging my mental health... probably some mild relationship to trichotillomania or something.

@certainlytwice

I never really bothered with aftershave.. not really sure what the functional purpose is once the shaving is done?

@admitsWrongIfProven My issue is if the beard gets too long I start to play with it and it develops into a habit and feels like a nervous tick. This starts to happen around when the upper lip or lower lit is longer than maybe a mm or so.

The rest of the beard I can tolerate quite a bit longer, but that has a similar problem when it gets too long.

@lucifargundam @admitsWrongIfProven

Not sure if i will. At a minimum i will use it to shave the space around my beard.

But even with a beard I usually shave it off every month or two and then let it grow back. When it gets too long it annoys me and I like the do over... I may stay clean shaven for a while this time though, I dunno. I think im just bored :)

@certainlytwice I actually thought i did a great job, felt smooth and everything... then i notice im bleeding :)

These are from Vikings Blade, ill try the ones you suggest

@SteelFolk indeed, these are also a bit specially made as they have a platinum coating on the outside for corrosion resistance... remarkably thin also. very nice.

@waltercool I always had a gruff beard, so shaving at all is a bit out of the ordinary for me

Decided to try out a straight razor type safety razor today... love it so much decided to switch. This stanrd model is nice but figured id get the nicer adjustable one.

Also just upgraded to the super sharp blade as opposed to the normal mild blades people use... this will be fun, or painful ;)
