I need serious help. I have shaved a couple of times with a Merkur razor and I just spent 100 bucks on all the shaving equipment to go along with it. Please tell me it will get better. I've lurked on all the shaving forums and have watched 50 videos on Youtube to try to get the best techniques, but every time I'm done it looks like Freddy Krueger got a hold me and the hair is not cut. I'm letting the razor do the cutting and not trying to push down. I'm using different blades and shave soaps, but its just horrible. It just feels like i sprayed lighter fluid on my face and neck then set it on fire, but the hair is still there. Is it possible that my face and neck is too sensitive for this type of shaving and disposable razors are better for my type of skin? Or is there a break in period? I actually dread shaving right now.
