The Elements of Shaving
I have facial hair that grows in really thick, and shaving every day (at all) is really a chore. Luckily my girlfriend likes the feel of a little stubble. But when I do shave I can't seem to get out of it without irritating my skin and drawing some blood, especially on my neck.
So- what kinds of razors are the best? Straight razor? double, triple, quadruple, or quintuple (gasp...) blades? Has anyone tried those battery powered vibrating razors?
What kind of creams do people like? I've used edge tough beards, and kiehls, which I like, but kiehls is a major wallet buster.
Short quick strokes? Long slow strokes? what's your technique?
I find that I get a much closer shave if I go against the grain, but it's also much more likely to be irritating.
Pre shave washes? Moisterizers? Help a guy out here: what's worked for you?
