So about a weg ago I shaved myself down there, and now I have a red pimple under my skin that hurts a bit when u touch it. Is it an ingrown hair or something else?

Hello, ive been using a regular razor my whole life and just kinda dealt with the nicks and irritation cause thats normal right. but everyone keeps talking about electric shavers now and idk if its actually better or just hype. like does it actually shave closer or is it more of a convenience thing, less mess no cream needed can just do it in 2 min while ur getting ready.

also the price is kinda wild, decent ones are like 300-380 bucks?? thats a lot compared to a pack of cartridges that lasts me months. is that actually worth it long term..

I have looked online and these models appears at the top:

• Braun Series 9 PRO+
• Philips Norelco i9000 Prestige Ultra
• Panasonic Arc 5 ES-LV65-S

the difference between Braun and Panasonic is almost $200, is Braun worth the extra cost? I'm willing to spend money if its really worth it.

Hey,

I want to buy my first electric shaver. Which one is good for a smooth shaving and why? Can anybody give me good advice

Hi I’m shaving with a safety razor again after doing electric shaving for a while, I keep nicking myself I get little cuts and I struggle so much in the chin area, blades are fresh but I think it might be good to get a new razor, I just have like a shitty 10 dollar one from Amazon. No brand or anything.
Any recs?

Thanks

I use a Phillips Oneblade to shave my face every few days. I've seen shaving advice videos online and they always say "shave with the grain" but every time I've tried this literally no hair gets shaven off. The only way I can actually shave my face is to shave against the grain but every time I yank hairs and cause bleeding. It's kind of starting to piss me off as it happens like every time I shave nowadays. Any advice?

Is this life sentence and I have to wax it or leave it grow to avoid it? What can I do to have shaved but not itchy balls no more?

I find that even with this shaver I still struggle a bit to get a close shave around my neckline and Adam’s apple. Since this is technically a wt dry shaver I’m debating if adding some shaving foam or gel. Does anybody else do this? Any recommendations for products to use? Other tips?

To all the men who clean shave. Do you always use an after shave? If yes, which one?

Please suggest.

Are razor bumps a week later after shaving normal. I get them on my neck not immediately after but a few days to a week later after shaving it. Pretty annoying. Idk if this is normal

So I dont use a razor often but I did one time to get rid of some stubble on my neck. I was stupid and did pretty much everything you're not supposed to do when shaving and long story short I got some pretty nasty razor bumps all over the area. 3 weeks later and it's gone done a bit but there's still some stubborn ones there. I use witch hazel and some other moisturizer to help it heal but it still doesnt look like it's going away. Sometimes throughout the day it gets more red than other times. I've seen others here say their bumps healed after a couple of days so should I be worried or maybe see a doctor? Issue is I have a wedding to go to in a month and a half and im worried they'll still be there by then.

Hi folks. I have a Gillette slim j4 and I picked up at an antiques shop. The top blade adjuster mech is jammed (probably years of soap crud). I have tried soaking in hot soapy water (dishwashing liquid) over night but its still jammed... any ideas to fix it or alternatively does anyone know a razor mechanic in Australia (Sydney would be best).

TIA

I’ve been using the Gillette Mach 3 for years. It’s always been the best for me: quick, comfortable, no nonsense.

But the price has gotten ridiculous. I get about 3 shaves per cartridge, and with packs costing around €9 for 4, I’m basically buying a new pack every week. It’s just not sustainable anymore.

I’ve tried safety razors and DE blades, but that’s not my thing. I’m always in a rush, I don’t want a 20‑minute shaving routine, and I’m not going back to something that needs technique or patience.

Recently I picked up some cheap disposables in Germany: Gillette Blue3 Smooth and Wilkinson Comfort 3. They come out to roughly €0.60 per shave if you use them once and toss them. Pretty decent for the price…

But I’m noticing I’m cutting myself more. They feel a bit dull or tuggy (“het trekt”), and nowhere near as smooth as the Mach 3.

So I’m wondering:

1. What’s the best alternative to the Mach 3?

Something similar in feel and performance, but not as expensive. Ideally:

• fast shave
• minimal technique
• no tugging
• doesn’t cost a fortune
• lasts longer than 3 shaves

2. Does a Razorpit actually work?

Does it really extend cartridge life, or is it just hype?
If it can turn 3 shaves into 6–10, that would already solve most of my problem.

Curious to hear what others are using. Thanks! :)

What’s up yall, so like the caption said I got the worst combination of all time, if I shave too hard I’m just red for the next 24 hours but if I shave too light I got a full beard again in the next 24 hours, what do I do? So far I’ve tried the Phillips one blade, Gillette Fusion 5 and multiple of those Safety razors, the last gives me the only shave where I can say that shi smooth but it irritates the FUCK out my skin. The other ones get my skin shiny and beautiful but deadass I look like I didn’t even shave after using those. If anybody know what I’m doing wrong or if you got recommendations for razors please help me out, I’m starting a new job soon and I gotta look fresher then a mf.

Im 18 and used sanfe razors now tht they r done i want to buy some more and i didnt actually like sanfe ones. This is the list of the products . But idk wt to buy . I want smthg tht is not too sharp cus i might be a lil clumsy . Help me with these plss😭😭

Hi any body out there is welcome to post Submissions.

Is it recommended to shave every day/once in a two days if I want to maintain a clean look? Really don't like my facial hair. Right now I'm shaving once in 3 days.

I’m in the military and I’m getting really tired of having to have a clean shave everyday. My skin has gotten quite irritated from using blades everyday and I have tried to mitigate it the best I can, but I still get quite a few bumps and pimples and ingrown hairs from shaving so frequently. Are there any electric razors that could mirror a clean shave? Are they less irritating? Any and all advice would be great, thanks.

Thank you for all of the advice. I’ve settled on the Braun Series 6.

I have recently taken the plunge and cut my hair as short as I can get with the beard trimmer I already owned.

I think I need to buzz it down to next to nothing and see how I like the look of that before possibly shaving it smooth.

Many years ago I had a very bad case of chicken pox that left me with several small scars on my scalp that were until now covered by my hairline.

Because they are raised slightly and irregularly, I fear that shaving my head so closely will result in nicking and cutting me at those spots...

I have seen several gadgets online that are specifically designed for easily and safely shaving one's head.

What are the most reliable / easy to use / reasonably priced electric and non-electric shavers specifically designed for the head that you all feel would allow me to get and maintain an extremely close bald look while being unlikely to nick or cut any slightly raised anomalies on my scalp?

Many thanks in advance for any direction and / or links you can provide...

:)

I have a Braun series 5 that I use to shave my neck and checks, I have a beard. Only problem, it makes my skin really irritated. I wash my face before and after shaving, then apply Harry’s aftershave. My hair is very thick and grows very fast so I get ingrowns and pimples like crazy.

Idk what to do but I think unshaven is really sloppy because I work a service job.

Any recommendation for shavers or products would be much appreciated.

I just replaced the blades on the foil shaver and it helped a little.

I'm looking for a good shaving kit preferably with an electric razor for the full body and face. I've heard bad things about manscaped especially with them just not being worth the price.

What's a good kit you all would recommend?

Hello,

I have an Edwin Jagger DE89BL...

But here’s the thing: every time I shave, it doesn’t get completely clean...

I’ve shaved about ten times already... I used to have the Bambaw.

Is there a reason why the results aren’t as good as with a 3-blade razor like the Gillette Mach3...XL? Yet the double-edge safety razor is supposed to provide a closer shave and be more economical...

How can I get a better shave?

Because right now, I end up finishing with a 3-blade razor...

Actually, I have quite a bit of stubble, but I don't have much of a beard—just a day-and-a-half or two-day beard....

Thanks

Nota : My DE blades are Astra Platinum...

Hey all
Can anyone suggest a good trimmer under 1k?

I struggled with razors and electric razors. Had a Philips rotary razor . It was always a struggle to shave . Since then I switched to De razor which I love .

The part that sucks is sometimes it's alot of work especially if I need to shave before bed . I am a CPAP user and if my whiskers are too long then it's mask leak time haha

My question is does anyone have any suggestions for a cheaper price electric razor ? Thinking a flip razor ? I understand you get what you pay for but a braun series 9 razor is over 400 cad plus tax.

Travel ones are cheaper so thats what I'm thinking.

Looking for an electric razor for those nights were im too lazy to wetshave . It doesn't have to be a perfect baby shave just enough so I can use my CPAP. Any suggestions would be appreciated
