Kyoshiro Ogari Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I shave my face everyday, but I have a problem. About 12 years ago I sported a goatee (strickly to buy porn because I looked about 5 years younger than my actual age back then) I wore it for about 2 years but then I shaved it off. However, even though I am cleanly shaven you can still see the imprint of the goatee and no matter how much I shave and cut the bejezus out of myself, it's still there. My question is, how can I get that former goatee area the same color and clean shaven look as the rest of the skin on my face? I also tend to get 5:00 shadow around 2:45. I hate it.

darkblue Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 How do you shave? Try firstly getting rid of the stubble going with the grain. Then, go against the grain for a closer shave. Also try some other razor brands if you're finding it difficult to ge a close enough shave. There are some good tripple blade systems around.

randy Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 if you want a clean shave , be sure to use a manual shaver . The ones with 3 blades ( mach 3 should work ) does the job for me . Darkblue said "going with the grain. Then, go against the grain for a closer shave" . That helps also . I grow a chinstrap and I know how anoying it is to not destroy that thing . Takes me about 30 minutes each time i shave (i shave every other day ) to get it right ( especially since I make the strap pretty thin ) . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lifeiscash Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 I agree with the other posters. I also use the Mach 3 and the triple blade works real well. I even go "against the grain" to get that slick close shave. Also, there's nothing wrong with the 5'0clock shadow, I have a goatee with my moustache connected a beard, not the full thing and I trim it daily with a beard trimmer to get that 5' clock look. However I don't connect my sideburns and shave underneath my chin.. (neck). I don't usually cut myself going against it, but It does cause alot more irritation in which I use Vera Blue (or whatever it is) for aftershave.

Kyoshiro Ogari Posted September 30, 2005 Author Share Posted September 30, 2005 Thank you guys. I use Mach4 by the way, and it works just like Mach3. I will try other techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
