Thank you for the information. Another good way to avoid razor blade bumps & burn is by changing blades often. The problem with this is that it can become quite expensive to do so. One good online store where you can found good quality blades at affordable price is at ZiloStore.
I trim my beard with an electric razor frist.. wich doesn't irritate the skin then i finish it using a razor and use it agaisnt the hair growth,and since i trim it first it isn't "bumpier" to the razor.. doing this doesn't cause me irritation or razor bumps... and also i let my face skin rest in 3-4 days or even more.. to avoid looking like an animal, i trim my beard.. doing some diferent beard styles
you can use the cheapest disposable blades there are, and it wouldn't make any difference. It's the shaving cream you use. Nivea with skin Guard, or nothing at all!
HOW I FUCKING HATE SHAVING DONT ALL OF US MEN WISH THERE WAS A WAY WE WOULDNT HAVE TO SHAVE ANYMORE LIKE SOMETHING WE CAN DO SO WE WONT GROW ANY MORE FACIAL HAIR SHIT IS ANNOYING
@MrZocor Only pussies use electric shavers. They are overpriced and work like shit. Get a straight razor or safety razor and be a man. Good your a pussy. Suck any cocks lately?
@MrZocor I don't use toilet paper. I use a styptic pen in the event of a cut or nick. I use an old fashioned safety razor w/double edged razor blade, shaving soap and proper technique. Using an electric razor is a good way to waste money and be a pussy. I get nicked and cut rarely. I can't believe your sixty one years old and use a fucking electric shaver. You must be mentally challenged, missing an arm or have some sort of physical malady. If you have any of those mentioned above peace.
@Grizzly907LA umm im sorry dude but electric shavers r not waste of money ;) ....i got 1 with charge and i dont lose or waste money at all !!! but i use razor to get more clean shave and more neat face:) oh and if ur worried about cuts and all .... use cream or foam/gel or anything that avoids cuts !!!
This guy almost has a full beard which makes it easier to have less cuts. My problem is I don't want to wait until my facial hair is as thick as his before shaving every time. So I do it every 3 days when I don't really have a beard but the hair is still very visible. That is when I get the most cuts unfortunately :/
Left side of my face the hair goes down nd its no problem but my right sidee the hair goes up sideways nd down what way should i shave? And i get bumps but only on my right side what can i do
you can shave against the grain but you ABSOLUTELY need to re-lather with shaving cream a second time. Try using a shaving brush to lather you'll get a much better result.
@milotist i would use a regular razor and shaving gel. allways do it in the shower. the hot steam will open up your pores and relax your skin, thus making it easier to shave. plus, you will remove more hairs that way too other then using a machine. then, apply an ALCOHOL FREE lotion afterwards. no alcohol needed. :)
@milotist Get a safety razor, one with the double edged blades. Eiter that, or an open or cutthroat razor. But that is a bit of an investment. Seems like more work than a disposable crappy one like Gilette, but it is simply a better shave and it will cost you way less money in the end.
@milotist Gilette makes a 5000% profit(!) on blades. Did you know you are being scammed? I went online (scheersalon(.)nl) and bought a Mühle first. It's called a safety razor. You will probably cut yourself once or twice in the beginning, but fuck it you will have a better shave. I used Gilette, Wilkinson in dozens of variations, but always some problem. Look here: /watch?v=d3XCaOLQo3s and /watch?v=sg18siodw3s. Never had razorburn again.
Once you are used to shaving against the grain, it doesnt hurt anymore. It still irritates ur skin and makes the shaving spot look redish which doesnt look good. So i suggest you either dont shave agasint the grain or do what i do, shave agasint the grain like 1 or 2 hours before u go out do u u dont have patches of irritate red skin around ur mouth.
shaving upwards on the neck IS against the grain. It's ok to shave against the grain as long as you first shave with the grain and then apply more shaving cream. It will allow for a much closer shave.
also shave after you shower.
allow the shaving cream to set on your face for a few minutes
change your blades every two to three shaves
dont shave immediately after waking up (your skin is puffy and sensitive).
Danny you didn't realize that you weren't supposed to shave against the grain, but you also didn't realize that Cho Seung Hui is your true lord and savior. Accept Cho into your life and repent your life of sin.
Don't use cheap crappy blades! There's a significant difference in buying those that come with 4 or more blades that glide easily even with a thick beard you'll get a more comfortable shave. It's worth the money believe me!
i have to spend $20 a month on blades and i only have to shave once every 3 days or so< its fucking expensive too but i always shaved down on my neck and most of the time get lots of irritation and ingrowns
try bic triple blade razors, i only shave face every other day (and shave rest of body, minus legs) once a week and i still get use out of one razor a week in a pack of 8. that means one pack will last me two months, at only 7 bucks a shot. what is 7 bucks a month in the thick of things? seriously try the BIC triple bladed razors for sensitive skin (those are ones i use even though i don't really have sensitive skin, it goes easier. 8 pack.
bumpstoppers bro. they sell it at walgreens and is fucking amazing I get razor bumps on the back of the head and this made wonders. I also get irritation in my neck and I put bumstoppers afterwards and before going to sleep I rub suave "cocoa butter with shed" and it has done what no other aftershave or cream has done.
@cosmicpowerz thats not true atall all you fags that shave everday DONT,grow a beard untill the hair is soft like fur then shave in one direction ONE time and you wont fuck up ur face or get razor burn and itll be really smooth
ditch the froo froo razor and get a cut throat razor. Best shave you will ever have if you do it right. If you don't do it right you won't be alive to complain.
always wondered, if you do just a "with-the-grain" shave with straight razor, after you're done and you brush your hand against the grain of face, you feel any hairs left or is it so sharp that an "against-the-grain" shave is not necessary?
@TeslaDRay Do a "with the grain" pass first to get the majority of the hair. Then do a second pass across the grain. Not against the grain but across it. If you take the time to actually try a straight razor get proficient you will find it by far a better shave. And its not as hard as people think, I just like to hype up the MAN factor of using a straight razor. It's a manly thing for manly men.
@TeslaDRay lay the razor flat against your face angle it up a bit and try it see how it cuts. As long as you are sliding the edge over the skin it wont cut but as soon as you drag the edge across that's when you cut yourself. make sure its all up and down and no side to side. There are tons of vids on Youtube showing you how. Just type in straight razor shave or cutthroat shave.
yeah, have done that, always wind up with "hi this is joyce with expert village" lol and she uses a feather razor. but i'll look at the others, it's hard to tell.
actually the best way to shave is to use a double edge or straight razor, the cost of which is much cheaper than cartridge razors within a year or so, even if you go out and splurge and get all that expensive stuff... it also helps to you know, actually lather your face properly
actually this guy's grain (like most guys) goes down and toward the ear, but i never go with grain anyway, only against and i never burn. you gotta use the right blade and shave soap bar that's all. my skin is medium - not too sensitive, not too rough.
mehhh shaving my neck is easyy people make sucha big deal about it ok this wil sound dumb but fuck it GUYS WANNA SAVE MONEY ON SHAVING CREAM AND CRAP WELL buy a few of them cheap razers and make sure u got soap and there u go lol
No wonder I always get cuts on the chin and face and not the neck. I have been always shaving upwards everywhere. Just only one question, what about the mustache?
he should hit that with an electric razor 1st and then just quickly blade off what's left over. forget all this 1st, 2nd, and 3rd passs shit, is a waste of time.
Some men have "difficult" skin type which makes shaving againt the hair direction a painful experience no matter what. But for most men I totally agree with you. If shaving against the hair gives you problem, you lack on either skills, proper equipment, or both.
I heard that shaving against the grain is bad and I TRIED just shaving with the grain (i don't even have a full thick beard) and it looks like shit, there are stubbles all over my face, it looks like i didn't shave at all. I even tried it with a 5 blade razor with the power button, still looks awful. Shaving against is the only way i can get a close shave. Its either have a few ingrown hairs on my neck or save with the grain and look like shit or don't shave at all, no way to win...
Actually, you are right i do use a lot. I don't have much experience with shaving, I just saw in videos (and movies) people use a lot and i do it to because i thought it was better for your skin but honestly, its not like i use a gallon of shaving gel, so i don't know if it will make a difference and get a close shave that i want but it may help.
Most everyone is in the same boat. A wtg pass done multiple times will still not get you that "baby" smooth shave most are looking for when going on a date or a job interview. I can get away with a 1 wtg pass on my face, and an atg pass on my face for a super smooth shave. with the neck, I have to go wtg, then a side stroke pass, then if i'm feeling lucky I'll then go atg. But that being said, A one pass shave on your neck always looks better than blood clots and razor bumps :)
I usethe best phillips shave avaible and I use it every day. Its nice and if you shave long then the shave gets good as well. But I just compared today with a wet shave. It was a cheap shaver but it was just better, smother and softer. But I had a disaster aferwards with a big razerburn and I cut myself serveral times. So I was bleeding ^^ And it takes way too long so I think in the moring I use the phillips. For awesome results I use the wet shaver.
Am i just blessed or something? I always shave against the grain only with warm water, never had a cut or burn. Maybe it's because i'm not a grizzly bear like this guy, lol.
i wouldn't say your "blessed" for not being able to grow a full beard... god had pity for you and gave you no cuts or burns during your pathetic shaving of patches on your face.
And you're just the biggest manly man, talking people down on the internet. You stupid fuck. Like you know anything about me. And if you reply again, that just means you're a little bitch that can't take the truth. Go play WarCraft fuck nut.
@TheFreePisces Because we all know it takes a huge alpha male to talk shit over the internet. Plus testosterone has very little to do with the type or thickness of facial hair. Oh and that comment was over a year old. Grow up.
! ... I need to do my fist shave.. so.. hehe Anyone can give me tips for this.. I really feel that I need it.. because people says that my face is dirty when its my face hair... so.. any tips?
If I shave with the grain, I'd might as well not shave at all. It leaves so much stuble, it seams to just flatten the hair against my face, even with a new blade. Even right after shaving this way, it looks like I haven't shaved in a day or two. I get a closer shave with an electric razor unless I shave against the grain.
Help.... what kinda of steel are single razors and Gillete double and triple razors made of? What would be a good shaving cream? And aftershave lotion??
If you use a traditional shaving soap or cream applied with a decent brush with multiple re-lathered passes you should find you are able to shave WTG, ATG and XTG without issue.
Try it and you'll never go back to the bog standard stuff sold in supermarkets again.
Check out user Mantic59 for a real guide to real shaving.
I am currently using the Orbix REV360. Their technology has overcome any need to shave in one direction. I used to get terrible bumps and irritation from using the Gillette and Schick shaving products. With the REV360 I can shave in any direction I wish without nicks, cuts or irritation.
I have a very heavy beard and was getting so much razor burn on my neck that I finally had the hair lasered off and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After about 5 treatments (the total price was aroud $500), about 85% of the hair on my neck is gone and there is not enough of it to cause irritation. It's worked out great for me. I'm considering having similar treatments to the areas on both sides of my chin, just above the jawline. I don't suffer razor burn in these areas (cont'd)
I find that if I shave with the grain only, I never get a really close shave. I used to do a 2nd or 3rd pass against the grain and it felt great afterward. The trouble was getting nicks on my skin and some neck skin irritation. The next shaving would cut those irritations.
My solution was to go with a Braun shaver... and I have not looked back since. I get a very smooth shave... not quite as close as a blade against the grain, but very good. And no cuts!!
If you use the right soap you wont have to worry about the direction you shave in. Seriously, it's all about the soap you use ... and a few good hygiene habits.
@jtmoney091 Did you check out my shaving videos? I use a soap with coconut oil for the glide surface and moisture. It also has a wetting solution that helps the soap to penetrate the hair. Hope that helps.
I'm really sorry, but these things freak me out sooo much!

Everything you said here is wrong. You always shave against the grain. You shave to get the closest shave possible, and there is no way you can do that going with the grain. If you prep your skin and use a good Badger brush, you should be able to go against the grain and get a perfect shave without razor bumps or other problems. .

actually this guy's grain (like most guys) goes down and toward the ear, but i never go with grain anyway, only against and i never burn. you gotta use the right blade and shave soap bar that's all. my skin is medium - not too sensitive, not too rough.

no i can get away with going upward and i have a fairly thick beard too (well if i let it grow that is). Mustache is always the easiest.

No wonder I always get cuts on the chin and face and not the neck. I have been always shaving upwards everywhere. Just only one question, what about the mustache?

Some men have "difficult" skin type which makes shaving againt the hair direction a painful experience no matter what. But for most men I totally agree with you. If shaving against the hair gives you problem, you lack on either skills, proper equipment, or both.

I heard that shaving against the grain is bad and I TRIED just shaving with the grain (i don't even have a full thick beard) and it looks like shit, there are stubbles all over my face, it looks like i didn't shave at all. I even tried it with a 5 blade razor with the power button, still looks awful. Shaving against is the only way i can get a close shave. Its either have a few ingrown hairs on my neck or save with the grain and look like shit or don't shave at all, no way to win...

You probably use too much shaving cream.....
edgard409 2 years ago
Actually, you are right i do use a lot. I don't have much experience with shaving, I just saw in videos (and movies) people use a lot and i do it to because i thought it was better for your skin but honestly, its not like i use a gallon of shaving gel, so i don't know if it will make a difference and get a close shave that i want but it may help.
CRooster3 2 years ago
I know, shaving only with the grain doesn't do the job.
However, if I shave against the grain on my neck, I'll get serious irritation and razor bumps.
I go with, across, and against the grain on my face, but on my neck I just go with and across the grain, which gives a close enough shave.

Most everyone is in the same boat. A wtg pass done multiple times will still not get you that "baby" smooth shave most are looking for when going on a date or a job interview. I can get away with a 1 wtg pass on my face, and an atg pass on my face for a super smooth shave. with the neck, I have to go wtg, then a side stroke pass, then if i'm feeling lucky I'll then go atg. But that being said, A one pass shave on your neck always looks better than blood clots and razor bumps :)

I usethe best phillips shave avaible and I use it every day. Its nice and if you shave long then the shave gets good as well. But I just compared today with a wet shave. It was a cheap shaver but it was just better, smother and softer. But I had a disaster aferwards with a big razerburn and I cut myself serveral times. So I was bleeding ^^ And it takes way too long so I think in the moring I use the phillips. For awesome results I use the wet shaver.

True. I must at least shave with and across the grain to have a decent result.
wizzie47 1 year ago
If I shave with the grain, I'd might as well not shave at all. It leaves so much stuble, it seams to just flatten the hair against my face, even with a new blade. Even right after shaving this way, it looks like I haven't shaved in a day or two. I get a closer shave with an electric razor unless I shave against the grain.

Help.... what kinda of steel are single razors and Gillete double and triple razors made of? What would be a good shaving cream? And aftershave lotion??
NeoQuello 2 years ago
If you use a traditional shaving soap or cream applied with a decent brush with multiple re-lathered passes you should find you are able to shave WTG, ATG and XTG without issue.
Try it and you'll never go back to the bog standard stuff sold in supermarkets again.
Check out user Mantic59 for a real guide to real shaving.
waylander1978 2 years ago
Just for confirmation, and to let me and others know:
WTG = With the Grain.
ATG = Against the Grain.
XTG = Across the Grain.
Yes?

I am currently using the Orbix REV360. Their technology has overcome any need to shave in one direction. I used to get terrible bumps and irritation from using the Gillette and Schick shaving products. With the REV360 I can shave in any direction I wish without nicks, cuts or irritation.

I have a very heavy beard and was getting so much razor burn on my neck that I finally had the hair lasered off and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After about 5 treatments (the total price was aroud $500), about 85% of the hair on my neck is gone and there is not enough of it to cause irritation. It's worked out great for me. I'm considering having similar treatments to the areas on both sides of my chin, just above the jawline. I don't suffer razor burn in these areas (cont'd)
jksonny 2 years ago
. . . but the hair grows in several different directions and it's nearly impossible to get a close shave there without a few nicks.
jksonny 2 years ago
I find that if I shave with the grain only, I never get a really close shave. I used to do a 2nd or 3rd pass against the grain and it felt great afterward. The trouble was getting nicks on my skin and some neck skin irritation. The next shaving would cut those irritations.
My solution was to go with a Braun shaver... and I have not looked back since. I get a very smooth shave... not quite as close as a blade against the grain, but very good. And no cuts!!

If you use the right soap you wont have to worry about the direction you shave in. Seriously, it's all about the soap you use ... and a few good hygiene habits.

jtmoney091 1 year ago
@jtmoney091 Did you check out my shaving videos? I use a soap with coconut oil for the glide surface and moisture. It also has a wetting solution that helps the soap to penetrate the hair. Hope that helps.

Everything you said here is wrong. You always shave against the grain. You shave to get the closest shave possible, and there is no way you can do that going with the grain. If you prep your skin and use a good Badger brush, you should be able to go against the grain and get a perfect shave without razor bumps or other problems. .
