Moving too fast or not trimming the longer hairs with scissors first. In the latter case it's not really cutting so much as tearing.

I've never had that many problems shaving, just be patient and dont make any jerking motions when your shaving and you shouldnt cut yourself.

I've been real foolish when I first started shaving. When my facial hair go a little longer, I THEN used the electric shaver, and it was bloody pain!!

But if you have problems with a regular blade; try shaving against the grain of your facial hair, and you'll be alright.

Yeah, I have definitely found that if I go a little while without shaving, my electric razor isn't quite painless. Even then, it's not too bad, but I don't want to imagine how it would be if I let it grow out too much before trying.

*LOL* OMG I can't believe how many times I've done that! I will never use electric again...

Well, I use... umm... generic one bladed (maybe two bladed... don't quite remember) razors and Dollar General shaving cream... so far out of the five times necessary for me to shave, I never cut myself. Well, then again, that was five times. I only have to shave about once every other month since it doesn't grow that fast. Odds are that I will cut myself sometime.

Well, everyone has their specific needs for shaving... whether it be face, legs, or head.
It is just figuring out what works best for you, I guess...

Have you thought about getting your face shaved at a barber?

There is a slight difference in how tough the skin is on the legs and in the face.. my own experience tells me that waiting long periods inbetween shaving sucks though. Longer = oucher, yet I manage to have pretty long beard (compared to none at all, that is) every time x). Laziness is bad.

FUCK IT, WE'RE GOING TO FIVE BLADES


I loved that Onion article, and thought of it immediately when they announced the Fusion.

I recommend the Mach 3 Nitro, it works really good, and I should know. I used to use the disposable, but now when I even use it the first time, it hurts like crazy!! But try the Mach 3 Nitro it shaves really good!

Heh. The first few blades deal with the hair, the rest of them basically help you look like this...

Gilette... Mach 13! *flyby of a cheese-shredder-looking device ripping someone's face off*

I've used a plain-o Mach 3 for years and have yet to bother adapting to anything else... it shows (and feels) if I have to use a disposable

I always use my Norelco electric razor. It's the only way to go. And it's good for trimmin' the magical forest downstairs, too. I use a different head for that though. I ain't shavin' my face with the same head I use for my nuts.

Ok. Seriously try using a Gillette Venus razor. Yes, a Venus, the pink razor that is supposed to be a "girl razor". I'm telling you as someone with the hardest and fastest growing facial hair ever, that those things will give you the cleanest, closest, smoothest shave you can possibly get with almost no irritation at all.

When dealing with razors and other very sharp objects, I don't get hung up on the fact that my razor is pink and has a little flower graphic on it. You know what I notice? I notice the fact that the blade gives a flawless shave and lasts a SERIOUSLY LONG TIME without getting dull.



Seriously, I've been told to use these by the women working the register at my local Wal-Mart, and they do work better. It makes me FEAR women' legs...

Not after.................before................
