04 Dec 08 - 07:34 PM (#2508159) Subject: RE: BS: Beard Abuse: A Cautionary Tale From: Bee-dubya-ell Help me out here. I don't watch television and try to participate in the consumer world as little as possible. You might say I'm somewhat of a consumer illiterate. In fact, there's no "might" about it. I am a consumer illiterate. So what's a Ladyshave? Is it some remarkable new technology that only works on women, or is it just another electric razor marketed toward women? Aside from cosmetic things like color, most women's shavers are pretty much the same as men's shavers. So why should using it on a man's beard be especially problematic? Personally, I would never use an electric shaver to trim my beard. I much prefer one of these. |

05 Dec 08 - 03:22 AM (#2508353) Subject: RE: BS: Beard Abuse: A Cautionary Tale From: JohnInKansas I remember quite clearly when my mother gave my father a "ration of logical exposition" on the evils of having my sister use his razor to remove the spiders from her legs. Father responded appropriately and I learned that they made something called a "safety razor" - a device I'd never seen (or at least had never noticed) until then, although I'd purchased (and used regularly) my own Dubl-Duk since about a year earlier. (It was a slight exaggeration to claim she "nearly cut her leg off," although there was copious leakage of "body fluid.") John |

05 Dec 08 - 08:46 AM (#2508557) Subject: RE: BS: Beard Abuse: A Cautionary Tale From: Spleen Cringe Thing is, Wandering (if I may be so bold as to call you by your first name), it was my good lady who suggested, shall we call it, that old woolly and weird needed a trim in the first place. Me, I've no problem with being Mr Hedgeface. Apparently, and I have been shown no scientific proof of this (other than 'it stands to reason'), they are calibrated differently to men's shavers because they are expected to perform a more delicate task... my beard will almost certainly ruin the mechanism. |

08 Dec 08 - 03:31 PM (#2510148) Subject: RE: BS: Beard Abuse: A Cautionary Tale From: PoppaGator It seems to be OK for women to use their mens' razors to shave their legs ~ it happens to me, and to other guys I know, and any complaints we might voice are never taken seriously ~ so turnabout certainly should be considered fair play. As a guy with a beard, my shaving needs are pretty modest. Two or three times a week, I'll shave about one square inch on each cheek ~ that's it! (I used to shave my neck as well as the cheeks, but since radiation treatment for a tumor in my neck, hair no longer grows below my jawline. The beard is a lot sparser than it used to be above the jawline, too.) I can get several month's use out of one "disposable" double-blade razor . . . IF, that is, no one else finds it and uses it on her legs. If that happens, the razor becomes disposable quite quickly. |
