What do you do when you want to feel like a new person, or a new version of yourself, or just to shake things up? I am thinking about running out and getting some clippers and making an attempt at shaving my head. Whether for the oft-maligned symbolic break or out of sheer boredom, what have you done to feel new? or what do you do to feel fresh?

I've used the Mach 3 razor on my face for the longest time and I have been very happy with its performance. But Gillette's recent price increases are just not something I can absorb in my current economic situation. What are some good cheap alternatives that would be available in NYC-area stores?

Before the sharp steel razor became generally available, what did most people shave with? Fire seems the best choice. Right?

How do I shave my pubes in college? I use the buzzer side of my electric razor usually, but now that I'm in a dorm there are some complications. I don't think I can do it in the bathroom (shared by a ton of people), and if I do it in my room people will hear the razor and I won't feel very hygienic. Solution?

Is it possible for a guy to shave his own back? I recently became single and would like to know if they make an extra long razor or an attachment that would enable me to shave my back. By the way my girlfriend was a pain in the butt.

I'm a 23-year-old guy who's never used a real razor to shave -- I've only ever used electrics. (Why? Because I'm a pussy and can't bear to think about cutting myself.) I've recently started to think that the electric shave is less than ideal, and that proper shaving would be a good life skill to have. Of course, it'd be a little awkward to ask Dad to show me how like everybody else, since I'm not thirteen and he's in another state. How can I teach myself to use a razor without causing myself grievous injury? What kind of razor gives me the smallest chance of cutting myself? Am I ridiculous for even asking about this?
