So as the title says I am 47, been using electric shaver most of my life, below is my awful routine. I am wanting to try to get into DE Safety shaving for a couple different reasons.
Reasons for moving do DE Safety shaving
Routine (its bad) once per week typically
I feel like I have looked at hundreds of razors, mostly looking at adjustables (REX Ambassador, Rockwell T2, Merkur Futur, Viking Emperor Meiji and others) so I can grow into it and try different aggressiveness levels. I don’t mind spending good money for a good razor. I feel like I have sensitive skin but I have read a few posts and know that I may not actually have sensitive skin but possibly my super awesome shave routine just sucks and my skin is fine? I know this is just the tip and need to look at soaps/creams, pre and post shave stuff, alum bars and all the things.
Thanks for any help in advance guys.
Reasons for moving do DE Safety shaving
- Would like less irritation
- Would like to shave more, I don't like having the itchy 1 week beard every week but I like the irritation i get from shaving less
- Softer skin, my face is always dry and itchy
Routine (its bad) once per week typically
- Wake up put on Lectric Shave
- Use beard trimmer to knock the long hair down
- Foil shave to do the rest
- Shower
- Hope my neck isnt red and burning
