Bike Forums - For those who shave.

The Venus seems to work for me best. I only go through 1 blade a month (shaving 2x per week) so that's appx. 10-12 blades per year (I take 2 months off in the winter...Yup, I live in Maine) at a cost of about $15 per year.

I have used electric, disposable (BIG mistake) and the Mach 3 and of them all the Venus provides the closest shave and works without any nicks or cuts

(you want to see a lot of blood, try shaving some skin off of your shin...bleeds FOREVER...Thanks BIC!!!)

If it's your first time shaving, I would definitely reccomend using a clipper to start (get the hair mostly trimmed down to the stubble) and then use a razor to get them smooth. From then on you can just use the razor.
