Getting a close shave?

Question

What's the best way to get a close shave with a razor? I've always heard not to go against the grain because it'll irritate your skin. I can never get a close shave. You can always see my 5 o clock shadow as seen in the pic. What can I do?

Answer 1

Honestly, I have never had much luck with electric razors, either because they get dull to quickly and end up pulling my hair out instead of shaving it, or the shave is not close.

I think it really depends how your facial hair is, some is fine and easy to cut, others like mine is rough and coarse and hard to cut.

You could try to get a better electric razor, perhaps that may help some, or use hot water on your face before hand to make it easier to shave.

Good luck.

Answer 2

Try using some sort of stimulate such as Lectric Shave.
