So I signed up for the dollarshaveclub a few months back (its dope) and I figured I get the most expensive option which has six blades and a trimmer on the back. When I first used it I was like "Damn this is smooth" as it only took one pass to get the hair and the trimmer was nice for the goatee. However, a day later my face was irritated as hell. I've had issues bumping up a lot like a lot of black dudes and the shyt was the same old story. I've tried all types of shyt to minimize the bumps and it wasn't working.

I heard folks say that using a straight blade works for them and when I get work at the barber thats what they used but I never wanted to invest the time to using that shyt. A handle blade is my preference. So I switched my plan from the six blade razor and got their dollar option which was the twin blade.

With the two blades, my shave is actually smoother and I didn't feel a damn thing shave. Just felt like someone rubbing my face lightly. Also no bumps :blessed::blessed: afterwards.

So use single blades breh. For my dudes who deal with the bumps, you have any other tips to make my face feel like a baby's ass?

Black Stanford grad made this just for black men. I've only heard positive reviews honestly. I may cop, but I've been burned before and right now my electric shaver works but it ain't perfect so I'm apprehensive. Check it out though support black businesses
that's just a safety razor with a badger brush

you can do it much cheaper or better

Yeah I've already done the safety razor with badger still got ingrowns:yeshrug:

Apparently this is a different shaped razor the nikka has a sole patent on. They had an event in Atlanta it seemed different. Idk i may have it worse than most my pops ended up just getting his beard lasored off with electrolysis. I may just do the same
