Dilemma: How to shave a 2 month beard w/o blood loss

[liberaltrucker]

OK, I've been lazy. Shower? Check. Shave? Not so much.

Personally, I got no problem. LTwife is about to jump on
the menstrual cycle and run over my ass. HELP!!!

1. sounds like you should shave

before you DO lose blood...

just sayin' :shrug:

2. Mostly all I know is that you would do well to use scissors to cut off as much as you can first.

Then use the razor.

3. (1) Begin with a close scissors trim (2) Moisten remaining stubble thoroughly (3) Go after it with a

multiblade razor: seriously, a good sharp 5-blade razor will take that stuff off without much trouble

Thanks y'all. My marriage is saved (if not my laziness).

6. A few years back I bought a cheap little 7 dollar hair clipper thingy from Target.

Never used it on my hair, of course. Just got it because I couldn't figure out how to shave when I finally wanted to get rid of the beard. :P Use it without a guard to get down to stubble height. Use it with a guard on to trim down to a nice even length. I wish I hadn't forgotten to pack it when I moved. It was a handy little thing.

8. Usually I use

my hair clippers first, with no guard on, and it gets most of my whiskers down to about nothing...then I soap/lather up and shave away....
