That's it.

No gel/soap/cream/butter/aftershave/etc. I shave with the moisture and water on my face when I first get out the shower.

 

[newarkhiphop]

1. Gillette after shave (for smell / no burn)
2. Phillip norelco nose and ear hair trimmer
3. Bump patrol after shave
4. Bump patrol shaving gel
5. Philip norelco wet dry shaver
6. Shave gel brush
7. Whal shaver (super close blade)

As far as blades I use generic cheap ones, pre shave and post shave prep matters most

I get razor bumps bad too, worse on my neck) so I rarely use a blade on it, I can get away with it once every other month and be fine though. As far as my face I keep a low beard or just go to the barber shop


I didn't post it but I also have a beard trimmer, but it's cheaply made so only used it like 2 times, use it now to trim my pubes

 

[sfgiants]

and the same brand razors... it's ok, they lose the sharpness way too quick, currently looking for a diff brand razor to use on this
also considering a straight razor
also use this

got all these as gifts

You guys like that Wahl shaver? I had gotten one bc I get razor bumps on my neck and didn't seem to notice any significant benefit from it. How often do you use it and what are your routines using it?

i've heard good things about the shaver, though i've never used it.
Newark and Giants can give you hands on reviews. I used wahl products when i first started getting bumps as a teen, but it was this one

excellent product......at least it was back then

7. Whal shaver (super close blade)

As far as blades I use generic cheap ones, pre shave and post shave prep matters most

also use this

For my head AFTER I use the best fukking trimmers out...

BEVEL

Went through too many Andis...bytches kept breaking

NO BURN.

Tweezers

A beard brush. Equate face wash. The bevel shyt is expensive but them clippers was an investment. Don't get dull, you think they're not cutting but they are. same for the razor, which i've used before. It works as advertised if you stay on your shyt, but for ME, the razor takes too long. I love the restoring balm though. Goat level shyt. If you use it daily, it really keeps your shaved areas on point.
