Old fashioned shaving & grooming

oh, uh...that's what I assumed you were shaving in all that prior shaving talk. do you mind if I ask what you're shaving with the safety razor? your head?

If it wasn't obvious: either her armpits or her vagina lol.

My legs, my pits, and my honeypot on occasion. :}

I use a safety razor w/ brush because I didn't like how my electric razor always left a little stubble behind and frequently pulled hair.

My only issue is that I frequently get razor burn or niks on my neck. Any tips on preventing that? I assume it's a skill issue.

I also use a safety razor for the same reason, and in my case at least, the older I get, the rougher the beard is, and I’d get some skin irritation as well, a change I made that’s maybe obvious to some, is to just let the razor’s weight do its job, and not press into it as much, using short strokes. It’s even better if it’s done after a shower because of the pores, but I usually don’t and it works well anyway.

Together with that, the biggest change I made was to get quality (not expensive, and is long lasting imo) shaving cream that’s specifically for ”sensitive skin”. They do recommend an aftershave balm that’s calming to the skin, but I often skip it.

Some guys could just shave with sand paper and be fine after lol. Depends so much on your skin type.

I've been using a safety razor for a long, long time now. Get a much smoother shave with far less irritation due to fewer passes needed. I've even got the Gillette Slide down. I bought a pack of Gillette Silver Blue blades that I believe were made in Russia, and still have a ton of them left over a decade later. I don't think I'll be running out of them in my lifetime with how seldom I shave. I use Creamo shaving cream and whip it up in a bowl with a brush into a lather, then apply it. Works super slick.
