The real reason men grow beards
The real reason men grow beards
You might think all the facial hair you’re seeing on the street is a way of attracting a mate. It might not be so simple.
You're viewing a single thread.
Also, shaving hurts.
WHAT? You're definitely doing it wrong if it hurts.
As in the occasional cuts or like actual constant pain? Not judging or anything just mildly concerned.
General razor burn. I have pretty sensitive skin, drawing sharp metal over it repeatedly irritates it.
Don't do the same area repeatedly. Get a safety razor so that it's cheap to install a new blade (.05¢), and change blades every 3rd shave. Soften your facial hair with hot water. Use a high quality shaving cream and brush. Pass over each part of your face only once. Shave in the direction of your hair growth, not against it. Use a good facial moisturizer when you're finished.
This dude shaves.. (Also, seconded to everything said)
Phillips Series 3000 for shaving and Braun Series 9 for cutting was it for me. Both dry. But OneBlade Pro was useless trash.
And expensive.
Its easier to just maintain beard with a pair of scissors.
Expensive? My friend, buy a safety razor and you'll spend $6 on 25 blades that'll last you 7 months, if you're shaving every day and changing the blade once a week.
These are the blades I use:

This is the razor I've used. I'm sure there are better ones out there, but this one has adjustable blade support for different skin types. I bought a pack of 100 German blades.
And you got the fancy expensive blades. Feather blades are fantastic and you can buy a box of 100 for like fifteen bucks. They're a bit too aggressive for me, I like Derby blades, but I wouldn't really recommend them (also I'm not super impressed with their quality control, I keep finding dud blades).
