Do you dry shave or wet shave?

A while back I bought a really expensive shaver and I thought it was good. However in a recent photograph I couldn't believe how much stubble I had given that I had only shaved a couple of hours earlier.
So now I wet shave and it is so much better.
How about you?

For best part of 20 years I used a shaver, but in the last 3 to 4 years I have been wet-shving. Its far better - although the water here in Bolton is crap for shaving whereas in Almere is was great and got a better result than what I do here, although its still better than using a shaver.

I have never used an electric shaver...I have always wet shaven

Well I never knew the water made any difference!
Shavers are pretty rubbish, I can't believe it took me so long to realise.

Can't you post this on a Chelsea forum?

You get a much better closer shave with a blade than a electric shaver. Gillette Mach 3 for me everytime, although the blades are a bloody rip off.

I hate shaving, no matter what I use I always finish up with a red chin.

So I leave it as long as possible between shaves.

No I can't because I haven't signed up yet.

Use a brush, shaving used to destroy my face, started with a brush now it's a pleasure.

not sexual. (brent face)

I use a Black and decker Belt sander.

I once tried our Cheese Grater

Finished up needing a blood transfusion.

wet, electric just seems like a new level of laziness, don't really get it tbh.

Strange, that's never happened to me.

Natasha uses a Mach 3 as well. she told me one day.

Wilkinson Sword Quattro for me... best razors ever, along with The Wilkinson sword shaving soap and a decent brush.

Merkur razor for me. The blades are cheap, I just refuse to give gilette any of my hard earned cash as they are just rip off merchants.
