Never again. I shaved my whole head with a straight razor once , and had a nice smooth shiney baldy...... For 1 day, then for the next two weeks it seemed like something was trying to escape from my head. Them razor bumps ran my life. Nestle crunch head would've been fine. My shyt was looking like a "hundred grand bar". I was in the Marines and we have to always have a cover (Hat). I winced every time I put it on. Couldn't even lay down right it was terrible and painful
Maybe I was just fortunate this time.I’ve never bumped up with a straight blade or a safety razor other than maybe one or two randoms. You also have to pay attention to your hair growth patterns, I always go one time with the grain and if I need super close I go over again against the grain, but it seems like if I start against the grain I bump up like crazy.

Beard grows from my sideburns, along the jawline, and connects to my moustache.
I'm PRECISE with Magic Shave and a butter knife. Even get the hair under my bottom lip without messing up the line of my beard.
shyt looks like I did it with clippers.

Get your lather bowl and fill it with boiling hot water. Drop your badger brush in as well.
Heat your face/beard with a hot towel.
Apply Art of Shaving (or any) Pre Shave Oil.
Pour the hot water out of your shaving mug, leaving just a little at the bottom; squeeze the excess water from your shave brush.
Work your badger brush across your shaving cream ( I use Jack Black Triple Cushion) and mix it with the hot water in your shaving mug like it's cotton candy. It should take on a texture like frosting.
Apply the lather to your face with circular motions. This helps to lift the beard hairs so the blade gets a cleaner cut.
I do three passes when I shave. One with the grain, Two ACROSS the grain, but never against the grain.
Between each pass I rinse my face clean, apply new shave oil, and reset my shaving bowl. It adds about an extra 10 minutes total. But your skin will thank you for the extra effort.
I finish up with Proraso After Shave for Sensitive Skin.
Follow this guide and prosper.

Beard Trimmer with no guard is so far the only thing that stops me from bumping.

I’m bump prone and been getting straight razor all my life. It’s those disposable shavers that will have me bumpy

the 3 or so times I tried that razor shyt it was pure disaster.
I just use the Clippers with no guard and try to cut the hair down as far as possible. After a while a lot of these cats using razors for years have skin that looks like the surface of the moon. fukk that shyt.
