Had a nasty shave there. Don’t know why - I only had about 3 days growth.

Calling all modern and chic males.

At what stage do you actually shave in this process:

1 - face cleansing
2 - exfoliation
3 - skin hydrating masque
4 - moisturiser

TFK safety razor users, can you recommend a model? I hear Merkur are a good brand.

Lads, I have taken to shaving against the grain recently, it is getting me a much closer shave and I’m happy with the end product but I have now had to remove an ingrown hair.

Any advice on techniques to get a closer shave without going against the grain?

The_Dunph · September 29, 2011, 9:26pm

I always go against the grain, presumed most people did?

TwoRunnyEggs · September 29, 2011, 9:29pm

I’d go against the grain under my chin and neck. I always thought it was bad to do it on the face. I use the Gillette Fusion and it leaves nothing.

Rudi · September 29, 2011, 9:29pm

Have you ever encountered ingrown hairs?

Watch_The_Break · September 29, 2011, 9:31pm

That’s why you’ve a face like a smacked arse.

I burst one of my nipples shaving my chest on Sunday. It was nasty.com.

Shaving is difficult for me as I’m blind in one eye.

Shave in the shower it always gets a closer shave, something to do with the steam openiNg the pores and softening the hairs.

Rudi · September 30, 2011, 11:42am

I tend to cut myself more while shaving in the shower.
