Well...my name's Derek and Im new to this forum..I'm eighteen years old just starting my second year of college..I came back this summer back home to a nice paying part time job..with one goal..to learn how to properly shave..
The only time I have "shaved" was with a Gilette Fusion..disastrous..my face broke out..n I threw it away..nowadays I wear a beard..and sometimes use a electric trimmer..but my appearance is shaggy to say the least. Razor bumps are usually around my cheeks when I use the trimmer to cut off most of the hair...and its gettin horrible...
So..
I did some research..Electric razor...tried it for a while...didnt work for me..
And cartridge razors...never again..
So..
I was wondering what is the consensus start up package for a DE..this is my last option..
Ive read that the Merkur HD is good..but is the Gilette Tech a better starter razor?
And im clueless about creams/soaps and brushes?
I do know I should get the West Coast Razor Blades pack...basically I have sensitive skin and need something good.
And how do u find your grain on your beard??? I've read most of peoples beard is N to S on cheeks..which is where most of the bumps are..
I dont really have bumps on my neck...weird right?
But any help is needed...including where I could find these starter products at a decent price..
Much love,
Derek
