Shaving

[Remote]

By the way, I'd be a lot more careful and shave a little slower than some of these guys on youtube do.

I get sensitive around my neck area and cut myself there all the time. And it's not fun.

So I've got about 8 months since I abandoned cartridge razor blades in favor of safety edge razors.
If you haven't tried it, I recommend it.

I'm using an Edwin Jagger DE89BA11 with Astra Blades and not only is the shave closer, but it saves a hell of a lot more money than paying for packs of 4 or 8 Mach 3s.

A 100-count pack of Astras can run you 10 bucks...and you won't have to buy blades for like 2 years.

Anyone else give safety razors or straight razors a shot?

i been using straight razors to shave my face and head. first 3 times i used it on my head i never saw so much blood but i got used to it and now i get a nice clean shave. i get a little bit of razor burn on my neck but i get that no matter what i use. i just make sure i throw on some after shave and shower with cold water after. using hot water before u shave eliminates alot of razor burn

Yeah. The only way I can avoid irritation and cutting my neck is if I really prep my face before. But who has time for all that?
I have some really great moisturizers that help though.

My skin won't allow me to use a straight razor. I use the fusion pro glide at the moment

You sure you meant a straight razor?
Much tougher to use

That's one of these:

straight razors are actually meant for use when your cutting someone elses hair, using it on yourself is difficult.

safety razors are meant for personal use

You can do a search on youtube for advice and tips on shaving with safety razors.
This guy, Geofatboy has tons of videos with different types of razors and he's pretty knowledgeable. You can just search his videos and learn a lot.

nikkas shave 3 times in a row?

I've heard of tea tree oil, but I just never got around to trying it.

i don't get razor bumps though.

I have a face moisturizer I use after shaving that's pretty good....

Hairs grow in all types of directions for different people so sometimes you make multiple passes.
