Have you tried something like a T outliner instead of shaving? Sometimes even a safety razor is too close

You suggest any brands?

 

[Renegade47]

razors are not good because of how our hair grows. get some clippers and take it down.

Get a safety razor, find your grain, use sensitive skin shave gel.

The typical razor (3 or 4 blades) is not made for black skin.

How are you getting bumps from a safety razor? You must be doing it wrong. Are you really going with the grain?

Black men shouldn't be shaving that's shyt other races do.

Go to the barber or use bump patrol if you have to clean shave yourself. I use andis for everyday use

It's for my job, but I hate having a beard anyway. My face looks better without it. Strong jawline.

I actually tend to cut myself with fresher blades and not duller blades.

Then what do I use? Electric shaver?

I've had that type of job before.certain folks can get a voucher from the DR that prohibits you from having to shave. You should look into that

All skin ain't ment to be shaved, but you say you don't like beards...

Use an electric razer

 

[Windows 91]

Isopropyl alcohol, Bump Patrol, sensitive skin shave gel, safety razor with sensitive skin blades, shave with the grain, use new blades every time (wasteful but cuts down on bumps and irritation)

Reducing sources of irritation is the name of the game. I shave my head almost daily and never get bumps now

Edit: Thought OP was talking about head shaving. I don't use razors for my face, only electric trimmers to keep the beard neat.

Real talk black men’s hair is coarse you can’t raw dog it when you shaving. It’s hard so it gets pulled, you gotta soften it. Don’t use shaving cream and that bump control garbage.

1. Use hair conditioner as your shaving cream. Let it sit for 5 minutes so it can soften the hair.

2. Do not shave against the grain. Close shave doesn’t even matter when you gonna shave in 2 days again anyways.

I suggest seeing a dermatologist to fix that up

It's 2024, and dudes actually saying anything other than recommending electric trimmers?
Are y'all just posting to be posting?

Like several dudes have already said, Andis Outliner or T -Outliner is the best alternative to your current shaving set up.

Nothing ever worked for me other than switching to a trimmer with a guard. Now i'm good.
