And some of us just require different shaving methods. I just use clippers on my face, like some Wahl detailers. I can get a close enough cut to to look cleaned up but I'm not shaving and having those hairs curl up and bump me up.

I clean shaved for an interview last week, now my shyt looking like a Crunch Nestle bar:damn:

Buy a Whal Peanut. Use the Whal Peanut instead of a razor. Wash and exfoliate your face daily to rid of any oils and dirt. It’s as simple as that.

I don't shave but you should probably use an electric clipper/shaver. Ditch the cream and disposables...that shyt does more harm than good.

When I shape up my beard and neckline I always use an electric shaver or clipper.

I never get any bumps or marks on my neck at all.

No bumps or lumps. Just smoothness.

When I first had it, it was bad, mad itchy and all of that. And I used to use bump stopper or some shyt, kind of had a foul odor to it but it worked. Problem was that my local stores would be out of it. Even the black beauty places.....

I just started using regular lotion on my neck and chin/cheeks daily. Never had that issue ever again.

I use a good lotion though, I think it's an oatmeal joint or Shea butter or something. It's more goopy than greasy, but it lasts all day, ain't like that bullshyt lotion that's 90% oil that you gotta reapply every couple of hours.

Get a good pre shave oil

And let in set in for 5 mins
Or a hot towel to open your pores
Use a good shaving cream

then use tend skin like others have suggested
Or I do this + a dap of tree tea oil

don’t use any products with alcohol on your face or head after shaving
It causes break outs
Also invest in an in-grown hair oil

skin care is costly but worth it
Haven’t had a break since I revel a routine
Just have to find what works for you
Also get a face cleanser to wipe your face down before applying a pre shave

I also use disposable razors and these by far are the best if you don’t want to use a electric one/replacement cartridges

Single blade (bevel)
Electric shaver or trimmer
Go against the grain
Put some heat on your face to open up your pores
Moisture immediately
Witch hazel with the rose water








If worst come to worst you can always get that no shave paste but your shyt will be smelling like boiled egg fart :heh:

I use it everywhere I remove hair. Eyebrows, top lip, chin, underarms, legs, miss pearly, and assley.

It’s dries out the skin so I only use it daily the first 3-4 days after I wax/shave. Then I drop down to a couple times a week.

As some have already said, bump stopper.

Also any product with a high concentration of benzoyl peroxide will work well too.


And lastly, you're going to have to go pick up some sharp tweezers and work on picking out the in grown hairs one by one.

Get some coffee, it's gonna be a long night :jawalrus:
