razor vs. electric

You can still use a razor without the bumps if you do it right after a shower. The hot water will open the pores up so it's easier for the hair to come out. Also, make sure you don't go against the grain of the hair, that's what causes a lot of irritation. Go with the grain until you're almost done, then you can go against it to get that baby's ass smoothness. I also use that Neutrogena aftershave lotion stuff. I hardly ever get a bump doing it like that.

I've been a razor guy most of my life. I've tried a few electrics now, most recently I bought a Norelco smart touch which is probably the best electric I've tried, but even that doesn't get close enough for me, especially on my neck.

Razor. I've had electrics but you always feel like sandpaper.

Razor guy. Used to keep up with all the Gillette noise, but it got too expensive, so I found a disposable I like, and use that (Bic Comfort 3).

Definitely shave either in the shower, or immediately after. If you can't, be sure to wash your face with a hot damp wash cloth. And be sure to use some sort of after shave to help cut down the irritation. There are also pre-shave things you can put on your face to help cut down the irritation as well.

They say electrics will not work on an oily face. If it is you have to wash your face first. But like matty said, it doesn't work on the neck very well.

Those very same people say BSB is going down for taking Schneed's title in Chopper Challenge.

I use a Panasonic wet/dry in the shower for the bulk of my face.
Mach III in front of the sink for finish work.

Razor, but i'm gonna try it in the shower now that i gto the idea from some of you cause i get some serious irritation at the sink. i even use this special cream made from oatmeal and i still get bumps

Im a shower/razor guy.

Man i cant believe how expensive razors are! i go the 5 razor thing and its like $17 for 4 extra cartridges.

I need a both option cuz most of the week I use my electric Norelco shaver but every week & 1/2 or 2 I use my blade razor. The electric is so much faster and using it allows me to sleep another 5 extra minutes and the straight razor used too much causes really bad razor burn 4 me. anyone have a shave lotion or after shave they recommend to help w/that?
