shaving correctly...DO IT.

[daring wraith]

I use a philishave cool skin, great feeling when shaving in the shower... also being shaved in the shower feels amazing as long as she watches the eyebrows.

So far, I have never been able to get really good looking skin on my face. I am kind of acne prone and I also have sensitive skin--Either that or I do a sloppy job of shaving.

I have gotten better in the last year or so, but still not good. I'll have to put some more effort into finding a better way, I think.

the best shaver you can buy in a drugstore NOW is the Gillette SENSOR original. I would also buy a BOAR brush at the same store. If you live near a Rite Aid, they sell a great shaving cream called RS, The Real Shaving Co. Learn how to produce great lather with your brush and this cream. I have been studying at shaving forums for about 5 years now and can distill my advice down to the above.

If you want to dry shave, this trimmmer is the og. I guarantee you almost every single barber has one. You can also line up your haircuts

I got myself an 1972 Gillette Super Adjustable ( some great vintage dealers on ebay ) and also am using a Merkur 34C ( i think it's called "Heavy Duty" in the U.S. ) together with Feather or Personna Blades. Shaving Soap or cream and not the canned goo.

The only way to shave.

No matter what the media tells you, some things can't be improved.

One of the main points of a close and healthy shave is to move over the same spot only as often as absolutely necessary because it damages the skin. If you use a Mach3 you have 3 blades built in, a Quattro has 4. So has the fusion ( or is it already 5? ) Now you move over the difficult areas ( your sideburns, your throat ) how often? Not a good thing.

Forget what the commercials tell you and get a decent razor and the right accessoires and learn to shave with some style. To give it a shot, try a Wilkinson Classic. It comes with blades and is € 3,95 here in germany.
