patiirc Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I get cut lots because of spazzing hands however the following have helped   Pre Shave  Wash beard/stubble/fluff with shampoo, making the whole thing more soft  and/or  Wash face with exfoliation wash   Shave  Put on Shaving Oil, not cream, not anything else, use oil. I use King of Shaves sensitive, generally let it sink in for a few mins  Use scalding/very hot water dip razor in a few minutes before use, and dip after 3-5 strokes  Wipe razor on tissue/wet tissue to de clutter and allow smooth shave    Post Shave  Nivea cooling After Shave Balm  Any cuts can be sorted by a Styptic Pencil. Stings a bit, but stops most cuts dead in their tracks     Usually though because of spazzy hands I just use my clippers to trim my face fuzz, with no attachment, lazy, for sure, but it stops the cuts   Hope that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators neil Posted January 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2012 Shaving is for mugs. Just use a beard trimmer on the lowest setting. DESIGNER STUBBLE~! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PowerButchi Posted January 2, 2012 Moderators Share Posted January 2, 2012 Neil is correct. I don't think I've had a wet shave since about 2002. Let the graders do the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Philo_Vance Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Neil is correct. I don't think I've had a wet shave since about 2002. Let the graders do the work. Â I had my first wet shave for about two years the other day, and that was only because it was my nan's funeral, I always just use beard trimmers.

Paid Members Arch Stanton Posted January 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2012 I use beard trimmers just to keep it tidy, but then lop the lot off with a wet shave probably once a week or so. I've probably cut myself about twice in 12 years. If you're chopping your face up every time you do it, you're either going at it waaay too violently, or you must have thin, girly skin.

Steve Justice Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm sporting a Ronnie Gardocki beard these days. Â Â I've always had a double chin, and since I've started having this style beard it's not as noticeable. In fact people think I have lost weight in the face. It is a bastard to do though.

Joey Joe Joe Jr Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Never had a wet shave as my dad has always used a trimmer and it's just kind of been passed down to me to use one. One of the best feelings is, after a few days of not shaving, having a shower and a good shave on the lowest setting when the hair is easier to cut.

Paid Members Murtz Posted January 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2012 I used to use a Wahl Detailer when I had a lined beard, but for the last year or so I've been going clean with a razor. I think Im fed up with razors now though, and Im currently deciding between a rotary or foil shaver. Â What types do you guys use? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members PunkStep Posted January 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2012 Until 2 years ago, I hadn't had a wet shave for a good few years before that. The only reason I started to have wet shaves again was because my Philishave broke, the bastard. Got a new one last year and haven't had a wet shave since. Philishave once a week, and beard trimmer once or twice a week- depends how lazy I'm feeling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members seph Posted January 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2012 Always shave in the direction of the hair growth and in quick, light strokes. Do the cheeks and sideburns first as they're the easiest, followed by the neck, the moustache and finally the chin. Always use some sort of moisturiser / post-shave balm, and don't use anything with alcohol in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SiMania Posted January 2, 2012 Paid Members Share Posted January 2, 2012 I use   A decent brush and decent shave cream go a long way to getting a good shave too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Â Probably cause i got girly soft skin. Used to have tough skin when i worked in a cold warehouse. Since being in a office my face seems softer.

Si's absolutely correct - the brush and cream will improve things a LOT. One coverage and let it soak in, then flannel off. Second coverage for the actual shaving. I've got a BEAUTIFUL 1960s Gillette American Safety razor - love it to death, and the blades save money too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
