Re: F...Shaving
If you are going to switch be sure to get good shaving cream and brush.

Re: F...Shaving
Guys I definitely need some tips in this department. I use a Fusion Pro after warm shower and I still feel like I am tugging in the goatee region. Should I switch to a blade?
Also, does anyone recommend a particular trimming kit for maintaining beards. Each one I have tried in the past has been horrible.

Re: F...Shaving
I recommend not shaving at all as a solution.
 By not spending 5 minutes a day shaving, I save 35 minutes every week, which adds up to 30 hours a year. By embracing the beard I add a day to every year.

Re: F...Shaving
You called? My face feels like my daughter's bottom and I enjoyed the shave too.
Bay Rum Soap + Clubman aftershave today. Anyways, the Merkur razors are great pieces...I just sold mine for $40 actually (cleared out some of my accumulating razors before baby was born). However, I'm not a fan of Merkur blades, but everyone's face is different. Best source for blades: (best price, service and selection) Men's Wet Shaving, Grooming, Skin and Hair Care - West Coast Shaving I use Crystal blades, about a dozen bucks for 100 blades and a blade lasts me a week! Israeli Red Pack Personna blades are a great starter blade...sharp but not aggressive. I'd recommend to anyone, get a blade sampler pack and find out which brand works best for your face. A lot of people like Derby blades, but they wrecked my face. After months of testing all kinds of blades, I settled on Crystals and bought some in bulk (100 pack). sample packs: Razor Blade Sample Packs | West Coast Shaving Good luck. Also, Badger & Blade - Home is the best shaving resource in the world.

Try out plenty of blades before blaming the razor for disappointing shaves though! Quote:
Shaving Soaps When I travel or am in a rush, I'll use C.O. Bigelow shave cream from Bath and Body Works. Stuff has a great menthol (COLD) kick.

 Amazon.com: Van Der Hagen Men's Luxury, Shave...I started out with this. Small investment and effective in learning the technique to see if wetshaving is for you. You can pick this up in most pharmacies or Walmart for $10. Amazon.com: Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set...--------------------------------------------------------------------- Those kits include everything but the razor and aftershave. To get a razor, e-Bay is a good source for vintage razors. For someone starting out, a Gillette Tech is a mild razor, great for beginners. I'm no beginner and I still use one half the time because it just shaves so well. gillette tech | eBay Don't pay over $20 for a Tech, they're far from rare. You can get one in pristine condition for $10-15 if you look. Amazon is a great source for new ones: Amazon.com: safety razor Top brands: Merkur Edwin Jagger Parker Inferior: Lord Feather Wilkinson Sword (all of these companies make GREAT blades, but avoid their cheap razors) Avoid anything Chinese!
