O.k, so I've read enough to know that I probably shouldn't do an XTG/ATG pass for a little while as I venture into the world of DE shaving.
However I have a query that needs to be addressed.
My hair is thick and extremely curly and coarse, so it takes some time to actually realize how long the strands are. Now, when I do a WTG pass there are still hairs that remain which are so tightly coiled to the skins surface that I really don't think the blade will even reach them.
Considering that these are the very same hairs that cause the damage of razor bumps and/or ingrown hairs, how am I supposed to rid of the problem without and ATG pass.
I have shaved ATG in the past (pre-DE era though) and it's only then that i really noticed much of a difference in the reduction of bumps. The issue is when the hair begins to grow again.
So what is my best option.
Would it be advised that I remain with the WTG bi-daily shave, or would it be safe to try maybe a single ATG pass on a daily basis?
