Grooming and Hygiene

all of this shaving talk makes me want to try it out again…
I only do dry shave myself once in a week, since I always get massive skin rash as soon as I wet shave (jaws and throat).
I don't know if I'm doing it the wrong way or if I'm using the wrong stuff (pretty much looks like it though!) but after trying it out multiple times I don't think i wanna try it again since it's always back to the same problems...
I'm having an appointment at the dermatologist on friday since I still have to fight with skin rash/ingrown hair on my jaws for almost 3months now, after I've last wet shaved...
anyone having this sort of "problems" as well sometimes?

I think everyone's skin is just different Finn. I break out whenever I use an electric razor, and only with an electric razor. I have no problem with a standard blade and I didn't have any breakouts at all after using the safety razor for the first time ever.
I read somewhere that has to do with the bacteria that grows in electric shavers. People have different responses to different shavers. After I read about all the stuff that grows in them and the recommended process to clean them (it's a pain in the ass), I switched to disposable razors

Not sure how well they work, but when I did have an electric, I had a cleaning system that I would use after every time so I hope bacteria wasn't the issue.

Yeah, I remember those with the built in cleaning system. They came out after all the studies came out about how much gross shit grows in electric razors
I think the cleaning process involved soaking just the heads in 80% isopropyl alcohol after every use for 30-60 mins, rinsing with water, and then letting it dry for four hours
Never made a lot of sense to me since I have 5 minutes before leaving the house…

Can't find a body/ health thread but I woke up at 7am today to go get a plethora of blood work done. This should be interesting…

You and me both. Sure nothing will show up. Just playing that 2-3 day waiting game.

Waiting for results like that is always nerve wracking. Best of luck Lando!
Just a routine thing, but you never know. Anyhow, no need to worry guys as I am the picture of health. ::)

Just shaved for the first time. Def need to get some better shaving cream but it wasn't as difficult as I imagined it would be. It's actually easier than any blade I've ever used, and obviously much sharper. I think I'm gonna like this alot. Can anyone recommend a good shaving cream, brush, etc. I've got a razor and blades so far.
and I only knicked myself in 3 places the first time
On the modern front i'd go with Clinique's Cream shave applied with a good badger brush and for afters Lab Series Razor Burn Relief Ultra. On the more trad front look for Mitchell's Wool Fat.

Truefitt & Hill shaving cream. You can't go wrong rich creamy lather & tremendous scents. I also love their colognes.

Hello all ,
I'm sure most guys hate shaving , well I switched to a brush , safety razor , bowl and cream or soap-
around 3 years ago . Never regretted it . The last year , I learnt how to use a straight razor ,
takes patience and discipline , but feels brilliant when you get it right .Unfortunately I broke my left elbow last week , so no straights for a while .
Cheers,
Scott
