Hey all,
Nearly 20 years of bad shaving experience brings me here. I have awful facial hair:
- My hair shafts are incredibly thick - brand new Mach 3 blades snag
- My facial hair is curly, which wouldn't be too much of a problem except:
- It grows flat against my face which means in-gron hairs are very, very common
I've tried most over the counter disposable and semi-disposable setups with little luck. I've even tried depilatory creme, but by the time it eats through the hairs it gives me a wicked chemical burn.
I currently use a Braun Series 5 electric razor in combination with a Schick Xtreme 3 but I always get a few ingrown hairs (I try not going against the grain, but that leaves many uncut hairs as they grown so flat).
I've started using topical cortisone creme after shaving to reduce inflammation. The cortisone has been a huge benefit to my shaving routine, but it still fails to address the real problem.
I'm considering the use of a safety razor in lieu of my current setup.
Any suggestions are much, much appreciated!
