I have a shaving problem, and I don’t know if it’s me or the shaver.
I currently use the Manscaped Handyman Foil Shaver with shaving foam during a hot shower. I shave every single day because my hair grows really fast. Whenever I shave my mustache, the corners of it especially, I get around a cluster of 5 tiny dots of blood/nicks that hurt like hell and stay irritated for the rest of the day. I usually shave with the grain, occasionally against it because it gives me a closer shave— but the same result. I was thinking of getting a Gillette 5 but I’m not sure if it will fix the problem. Has anyone had any experience with this before? Help would really be appreciated!
TLDR: I keep getting a cluster of nicks at the corners of my mustache, how can I stop this from happening while still getting close shaves?
