Re: The shaving thread
shaving in the direction that the hair points will only result in an undercut stubble. shaving into it will stand the hair folicles up and slice them with a good razor, and rip/break the skin. lotion will act as a barrier when you shave into the hair, between the skin and razor, reducing razor burn/slicing. its quite simple

Re: The shaving thread
I buy a huge pack of the cheap single blade disposables from wally-world, you know, the yellow ones.
If you dry the blade off when you are done, it will stay sharp longer. I shave every other day, and get about 8-10 shaves out of a blade.

Re: The shaving thread
I didn't have to start shaving til around my senior year, and now I should shave daily but rarely do.
If I shaved within the past couple days, I can use my electric razor that I got for about $30 at walmart. Doesn't get that close, but it's quick, easy, and I don't have to be careful.
If I haven't shaved in over 2 days, the ***** too long for the electric razor and all it'll do is rip out hair one by one for hours. That's when I break out the Mach 3 Turbo. Got some gel that came with it, and I have to shave with the grain or else it'll chop up my face and cause pain. Cover face in shavin gel, each stroke with the grain I rinse the razor, more shaving gel, then go against the grain...unless it's been a week then I have to do the "with the grain" phase a couple times.
My face isn't sensitive but my neck likes to get marks when I use the electric razor. Most recent chic I was ------ with thought I was lying to her about spending time with someone else cuz of it...not sure how to stop it from happenin though and dont really give a ----
And haha, I remember that madtv thing
