heap23 Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I personally much prefer shaving everything off, especially because my girl friend prefers it as well. But sometimes I get horrible razor burn, unless I continiously put cream on it the day I shaved. For guys that do shave, do you know any better way of doing it, or is straight razor the only thing I can do? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luck of the Irish Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 You mean above your unit? Or did I completely miss something? I've never tried that. I'd probably end up cutting myself and having to put little squares pieces of toilet paper all over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 I shave everything within about a one inch radius. Outside of that l clippers work best for eliminating razor bumps and acne ime. I only trim once or twice a week so that the stubble doesn't hurt but everything is kept short. If you do shave go with not against the grain.

bebecole Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 you have to be gental when you shave down there. exfolate your skin first and then shave. i think everyone gets razor burn though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get no razor burn and it actually provides some challenge to shaving and makes it more enjoyable. I have been using one for 9 months now and to be honest I cant wait to shave everytime. what was once a mundane task for me no is (maybe sadly) a highlight of my week (I only need to shave every second day). Yuo acn buy a straight razor online ebay is a great source for them. Cheap as well, you can get them for a little as $5. you will need a honing stone a and a strop as well so the initial outlay is a bit but no more $5 disposable blades (mach 3). Heres a site to check out: link removed PS I do not usually use for my "package" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacGyverRI Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 An electric razor works well, the Norelco tripleheader (works in any direction) is best but any will work well to keep shaved smooth. Make sure it has a pop up trimmer option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardinal Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 A straight razor might not work well for my throat either. May get one to give it a try. I don't know if I could rely on myself to safely sharpen it though to where I wouldn't cut myself after the fact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day_Walker Posted August 24, 2006 Share Posted August 24, 2006 If you want to avoid razorburn then you need to make sure that your skin is moisturized when you shave and ALWAYS shave in the direction of hair growth, if you want to shave in the opposite direction of hair growth then do it after you shaved in the direction of hair grown and reapply shaving cream, foam or gel.
