I just shave with hairclippers with no guard once a week and go with stubble. I don't like shaving and I don't like the look of a full beard or clean shaven so I go with stubble. Also, the ploy to make you buy new blades every few weeks is ridiculous to me. Like there's no way technology can solve that. I only use a manual shaver every now and then if I need to be clean shaven and never buy them.

Heh, that's the problem. They could have it all if they didn't have to come back for it

Absolutely. Good face wash, pre-shave oil, heavy warm lather (I combine soap and cream for an uber-lather), and yes I switch between straights and double-edge (Merkur Progressive), with grain, cross grain, against grain, alum block, post-shave balm, bay rum aftershave.
Then I know at least ONE good thing will already have happened to me in my day!

Old fashioned razors are cheap and last for a few shaves if you look after them... One of the small pleasures of life is having a nice shave.

How do you define full?
I used to trim mine once every 2-3 weeks, with scissors. I still prefer that approach because it's the most "creative" one and takes a certain skill to avoid asymmetry, but it takes time, my back doesn't like how I now have to hunch towards the mirror and you get hair everywhere (and that can get me flak). So now it's just a trimmer with a 1mm comb for the chin, mouth and neck, possibly a longer one for the cheeks if I feel like the extra effort (otherwise the same comb when it's hot, or I leave those mostly untouched). Freshly done it's hardly more than a stubble, but IMHO a neater one should clearly not be the result of not haven shaved for a few too many days. Not that I'd care if people think that, for the most part...
