I use this for my legs and any other hair removal followed up with aloe because I have really sensitive skin. My husband also uses it (different blades) and he doesnt have a problem. He has to use exfoliating black soap AND aloe on his face though to prevent ingrown hairs

$200 for that:deadmanny:


And brushing the razor off after each stroke and running hot water over it does the same thing:bryan:

You'll get bumps in 2 days, it's always like that. Your best bet if it happens is get some good soap and aftershave with alcohol. That always seems to keep yo face from getting itchy.

That's me :francis:

Can't shave my face and head with any type of razor :francis:

I brought one of these last week and so far the results are satisfactory:

It works but you gotta stay on top of it now. You fukk around and not shave for 2-3 days and the bumps/irritation will return with a vengeance.


God damn!

I haven't used a razor on my face since the 2000s and if OP is like me he's been using a t-outliner for a reason.

Good luck OP, you minus well throw some alcohol on your face right now (if you can find any :francis:)


Hope you ain't got to pull put the tweezers. Any product with benzoyl peroxide works well too

I can't speak for everyone, but straight razor has been a godsend.

I bumped up with everything...literally everything. Clippers, safety razors, depilatories, everything. I just had permanent 5 o'clock shadow for years.

Finally tried straight razor again and changed my technique up...and my shyt rarely if ever bumps up.

I swear by straight razors now.

My uncle used a straight razor. He told me he got bumps like crazy at first but after about 30 days of using it you train your hair and you wo t get the bumps anymore. Said you just have to thug it out for a few days

I was with you until you said this morning.

I was once you and woke up the next morning in pain and inflamed. The day of the shave though was lit. I’m like why haven’t I been doing this forever. Next day looking in the mirror...:ohhh:
