For the longest while I have used beard trimmers and not touched a razor. I shaved my beard off and took a cheap razor to my face.
Oh the humanity
Gonna grow the beard again but trim it short once a week so I look presentable. For me this is kinda a goal I have - to take more care in my appearance. Not in a vain way more of a dignified way
I also had a big beard once. Now I shave probably twice a week.
I use a Wilkinson 5 blade hydro.
The blade is really old, but I just put more pressure on it. Probably should get more blades, but they’re so expensive. Last time it was cheaper to buy a new handle with free blades
I hate shaving too but I always shave it when it gets to about three weeks of growth. It just starts stabbing my lip and gets really uncomfortable, especially if I lay down on it. I always wonder how people with beards keep them without feeling uncomfortable.
That being said, I think a thin goatee makes me look better than when I’m clean shaven.
Feel your pain matey. I’m sporting a crazy mo at the moment. When I got rid of the beard it was a massive effort and not much fun. Trimmers were crap and I had an old blunt razor…Had to ring up the old boy who was away to buy a decent blade…
Still. I like beards…not worrying about sunscreen out here is always good…but…I don’t mind my mo…I’m going for the 70’s fast bowler approach…I just need a gold chain and v necked cricket shirt!
