    Been a horrendous week at work so I'm sporting 5-6 days worth of beard starter kit. It's starting to itch so it needs to come off. Not sure which to mow with...they'll all do the job but I'm bored so now I'll bore you with this silly poll. The winning razor takes it off tomorrow morning at 5.

    If the Pic wins, I'm pairing it up with the mildest blade I have...Big Ben or Dorco.

    I voted for the Micromatic, but this sounds like the perfect job for a Micromatic Clog-pruf if that would've been an option. Just sayin...

    I voted for the NEW, but I think the OCMM would do fine as well.

    I voted for the Micromatic as I just took of a weekend worth of growth with great ease using mine :)

    I usually use the NEW to take off beardage. It works great.

    Me too. It is smooth and does a nice job without clogging. Anything will do the job even a tech, but something OC wont clog as much. The OCMM would be my second choice. Not much a fatip fan. I had 3 over time and they all had QC issues (blade exposure was uneven if you didnt load it a certain way) and werent very smooth.

    Went with the Piccolo and a new Big Ben. Figured I should give it a fair shot since I knew what the NEW could do. 2 pass BBS with a few minor nicks no matter how carefully I went, but nothing alum and witch hazel can't handle. A good razor, but I still prefer the good ol' NEW because it's definitely friendlier and doesn't leave me feeling like I've had a skin peel. Thank you all for voting!

    Dang! I forgot to vote!
    Glad it went well.
    For some quick, efficient beard removal, its tough to beat the ol' SR! Starts about 3 minutes in…Overalls are optional.
