I have a few patches of really super tough stubble - lower chin bordering on the neck and one side of my neck. These parts can be visibly hairless after a shave, but a closer inspection and a feel show a significant amount of hair missed. If you were to stand close to me you would notice.
I’ve tried everything from extra preparation such as pre shaves but really I think it’s down to the razor. The only one I have that gets the hairs a bit closer to the skin is my Fatip Piccolo V1, but even this leaves visible hairs though not as long as other razors.
The only thing that gets the hairs is an against the grain pass, but due to the sensitivity of my skin this will always end up with bleeding / irritation / ingrown hairs, plus a smaller amount of missed hairs. I usually do 3 passes with most razors- one WTG followed by 2 cross grain in either direction. The only exception to this is the Fatip which only needs one WTG and a cross grain (ear to chin) for a reasonably close shave. Yes I could just use the Fatip all the time, but where’s the variety eh?
Any ideas guys?
