Hi,
After trying "proper" shaving a while ago i gave up as my face was screaming in pain. I went slow , no pressure , really took my time and still a really painful, bloody, sore shave. I currently use Gillette Mach 3 and Fusion sometimes. I find if i leave my beard to grow and i trim it down with a stubble electric thing and then the next time i need a shave , then shave with a Mach 3 or Fusion , i don't get as much pain. I put this down to my sensitive skin getting a rest and rehardening?
I have a really thick stubble and have, as long as I've been shaving, had red bumps and ingrown hairs in my neck area. Ive tried solutions that claim to get rid of it and had a little success but not cleared up and every time i used it my neck went red.
Really want to crack this DE shaving as it will save me money and also be more pleasurable in the long run.
Any advice on what stuff to buy is really appreciated. I do have Bluebeard's Revenge cream already but my brush is cheap muck.
Was thinking of getting a Merkur Futur and a decent brush.
Matt
