I get razor burn really fucking easily from my ingrown hair

So I bought an electric razor (clippers) and still get it along my jaw line

I second this. Cheap since you're buying into neither the Quads® nor the shave soap marketing garbage.

thinking about an electric razor myself and using pic rel

I shave in the shower and moisture dulls the blades if you don't dry them well
I don't get razor burn, but I did reduce shaving down to 2x/wk (tuesdays and fridays)

nice electric contraption might be what I need... but I don't know anyone who uses them

>ps, I think pic related might be discontinued now ;_;

Really nice, switched to one about two months ago, was shaving with a 2 blade cartridge razor but got ingrowns and a bad shave, took me about 10 min to shave, now I shave with a DE safety razor, takes me about 15 min +1-2 min to get the lather done but I have no irritation and a better shave and a almost no costs. After you get past the buying in price and getting used to it's pretty good. A pack of 100 blades costs around 10 euros and a blade lasts me 3-5 shaves and I shave daily.

I shave with a safety razor every morning after shower. Safety razors give you a better shave and save you money.

for those of you considering safety razors

it's good for the face, but do not, under any circumstance, use it on your body, that shit will cut you up if you aren't real careful and if you are it just takes too much time

Safety razor. Picked up a Gillette New at an antique store for a few bucks. It's cheaper than cartridge razors until you fall down the fucking rabbit hole of soaps, brushes, and aftershaves. But at least shaving isn't a chore anymore.

You probably have very thick hairs like me. Disposable safety razors have much, much, much duller blades than the sharp blades that you can get for a proper safety razor. You need to buy a proper razor and use the sharpest blades you can get. I use Feather Hi-Stainless blades. You need to avoid shaving against the grain. You will get a close shave but only if you shave the same spot multiple times and brush the shit out of the hairs using a circular motion after every pass so that you get the hairs to stick out instead of having them stick to your skin. I personally use a boar brush. I don't know if the brush type makes a difference. I know that this is pretty obvious but you really need to use shaving soap/cream for every pass or you will get a razor burn. Surprisingly this doesn't take as long as it sounds, you just use up a lot more shaving soap/cream.

Using a braun series S3- 3040s, the cartridge lasts a long time and it's really easy to clean and dry up, I travel a lot so it's very convenient also costs as much as a pack of fresh blades. At home I use a braun series 7-760cc the cleaning station is a bit of a joke but I just clean the cartridge with some rubbing alcohol and let it dry (basically what the station does), it provides a similar shave compared to the S3 except for the speed variation and doesn't heat up as fast. However, both of them have a really nice foil cartridge that works well for me. Use some Tend Skin solution after shaving if you have some ingrown hairs/razor burns, cools them down and clears ingrowns. I use it on whatever part of my body I shave, works quite well. Also take a low dose of anti-androgens to reduce the growth but that's just me, perks include naturally smooth skin.

meh, my shit don't look too good either and it grows back into 5'oclock shadow in a day. If you have a clean face than less facial hair is probably for the best.

Asians get those cool whiskers though, i've always envied that till i was able to grow a full on mustache at like 15.

I use whatever the top Gillette product is. My old roommates dad worked for Proctor and Gamble and she gave me boxes of cartidges. That was like 2 years ago and I still aren't even halfway through them.

Electric razors are for lazy people and don't give you as close of a shave. Never used a safety razor or straight before.

Not entirely true. I have acne so electric razor is less damaging to my face.
