can we get a shaving thread? everytime i try to shave with an actual razor i get terrible razor burn and a rash that lasts weeks.
i have tried many different types of shaving creams and after shaves.

i dont have a straight razor. (pic related)

Pre-shave oil, bro.

>> No.6179169

Do you shave prior or after showering?

>> No.6179180

hot shower, after shower apply pre-shave oil, lather face, shave against grain.

wash off with warm water, lather face again, shave against grain. rinse with cold water to close pores

after usually, but have tried before, after, and not near showering.

Never shave against the grain. Especially if your skin is sensitive enough for you to have burn as it is.

Using a microderm/exfoliant 2x a week really helps too.

If you shave with the grain first and reapply shaving foam before going against it, you get quite nice results.

Waste of time and resources, imo.

op here. will this problem go away, or will i always have it? if so, am thinking of growing a beard.

You're probably just fucking up, dude.

Make sure you hold the blades with your skin. Make sure you're rinsing off the cream every time you swipe. Make sure you're moving slowly, not quickly.

You also need to figure out the direction of your grain. Not all of your facial hair grows in one direction.

>> No.6179391

I shave with the grain, across the grain, then against the grain. Smooth as a little girl's ass, or whatever.

One blade. You dont need more than one blade to get a close a shave. Multi blade razors tend to clog and can cause more nics and razor burn.
