had my first shave in a couple of months tonight. took fucking ages.
Do you not have a beard trimmer?
I just mill through my beard with the beard trimmer, and then have a quick wet shave. Its done in no time.
You have to get a good beard trimmer, a Wahl or something otherwise it reefs rather than cuts.
I usually do it in the back garden to, trailing the cord in a window. The trimmer tends to shoot bits of hair all over the shop == pain in the hole to clean up.
