Is there a difference between shaving with a multi-bladed razor, and shaving with a single-bladed razor blade?

Doctors say its a myth that when you shave it makes the hair come in quicker, thicker, and darker.. I beg to differ..

How often do you shave, if you shave anything at all?
How do you shave, what do you use?

Well, it's hard to know if it's come in quicker if you've never paid attention to when you got peach fuzz, which I believe is always. It doesn't really come in thicker, but it'll feel and look that way because you're cutting off the soft end of it, hence it's a lot more pricklier and noticeable. You're not altering it aside from cutting it down to the thickest part.

I shave only sometimes, I haven't noticed if coming in quicker because I shaved it. Comes in at the same rate every time. I kind of do it in secret with one of my dad's shoddy disposables. I can't tell you if there's a difference, aside from how sharp it is.

Ahh sharpness..

Brand new razors make nicks and cuts, but old razors don't cut at all. I like one when its in between, a nice smooth shave with no blood. Yuck.

I haven't cut myself yet, but we'll see how that fairs when I actually have to get a razor of my own.

I hardly ever shave, maybe once every3/4months.  Its the first time that ive been able to grow heaps of facial hair so i dont want to get rid of it! Sometimes i use clippers and trim but other then that i leave it.  My friends tell me i need to shave but i say that it will keep me warmer in the winter and not to be jealous

No clippers (I use scissors) but I waited long time for it, why shave it off.

I'm Pre-T for another week or so but I have been shaving for a good 4 months now. I shave about every week with a double or triple blade. Maybe I'm just noticing more but my peach fuzz seems to return faster and faster, maybe I'm just feeling for it though.

regular razors make me break out, so i use an electric one.  if i dont shave at least 1 time a week i look super goofy.  i usually shave like every 3 weeks or so anyway.  haha

after i let it grow my skin gets itchy and i get quite a few pimples but luckily my facial hair covers them.  I get them mostly on the jawline. 
I use to have a bald patch just under my chin but now the hairs grown in
I was just ecstatic when i got to by my first razor, matching shave cream and aftershave gel! went for Gillette, something that was masculine!

Lol

Gillette, the Fusion and i shave at least twice a week...i carry a gun for a living so there can be nothing controversial about me...my job doesnt even know im trans yet...soooo, im always clean cut...

I hate having a fuzzy face. I shave every week or two, depending on when my pre-T peach fuzz gets noticeable.

A triple-bladed razor for now, but I'm keen on getting myself a straight-razor.

I use a regular glycerin shaving soap in the bottom of an old coffee mug, and a cheap dollar-store brush. Does me way better than the shaving creams I've tried (every single one of which has made me either break out or have a reaction. I swear I'm allergic to f*&% everything).

I get the razors that come in a bag, a bunch of 'em cheap. And Barbasol, it's the beard buster, says so right on the can. I guess the razors I'm using now are double blade so  I checked that. One lasts me forever.

My buddy Mark uses an electric shaver but I dunno, I like the way I do it, the Barbasol smells nice and it's neat to be so smooth for a bit, it doesn't last lol.

I use a triple bladed Gillette, with foam and care and hot water.
I even taught my hubby how to shave with one, as he'd only ever used an electrical one in the past. ^^

I've never cut myself shaving.. not my face anyway.
I used to shave my head, I cut myself doing that once.

The trick is to tilt the head around and stretch the skin a little bit, and to go "with" the direction of the hairgrowth, not against!
Get a close shave, and no nicks and cuts.

I shave my peach fuzz maybe once a month or so, but its mostly a sad attempt to pass cause boys dont have peach fuzz lol

(pre T)

I don't shave at all, since I have neither facial hair nor peach fuzz.  Yay!

I don't shave.  I use beard trimmers.

P.S.  Prior to beard growth I did use cheapy disposeable razors, twin blade, and some shaving lotion to shave the peach fuzz and then the patchy stuff.

Mins got it.  The Mach 3 Gillette is the best I've ever found, last much longer than the plastic ones, somewhat greener, and a lot sharper.  I try every new one to come out - I'm waiting for Octomam to endorse an 8 bladed razor - and I always end the trial and go back to the Gillette.

I'm using the Mach 3 heads on an Old Old pink Gillette body I was given by mum way back when... cause I'm too cheap to get a new one (or rather.. this one works, the handle is comfy.. why waste it?)

I like to spoil myself [be lazy] and go to the barber once a week for a shave.  When I use a razor on myself I find that my face breaks out no matter what I use.
