Guys,
I'm a 25 year old with Italian and German heritage. Needless to say my facial hair is very thick/coarse. My entire life I've never been able to shave two consecutive days without ruining my face, so I thought I'd give wet shaving a shot. Even after a month of DE shaving my face was better but my neck was still hit or miss - if I got a close shave it was at the expense of ingrown hairs and razor burn.
I figured it had to be my technique so I focused on angle, angle, angle.
It wasn't my technique.
This morning I just said to hell with it and loaded up a Feather blade and started shaving. Guess what? No irritation in any way, even ATG. I suppose all these years everything I've been using just simply wasn't sharp enough to cut the hair without ripping it up and destroying my face.
So, while ymmv, I strong encourage anyone with thick hair and sensitive skin to honestly consider giving a Feather a shot.
