I keep it much more simple with great results. I soak my face and head first with a facecloth then apply Tea Tree conditioner and shave. No rash, no burn and no bumps. I will never use shaving creams or gels again. The Tea Tree ingredient works great at soothing and helping the skin.
Just bought a safety razor for the first time. Started off okay until I got to my dreaded neck area and ended up with loads of razor burn and small cuts. The guys in these videos make it look so easy, but I'm gonna keep trying as this was only my first attempt. Hopefully this video will help.

I have had razor burn occasionally but that has been greatly reduced, and generally only happened if I went over the area more than once/applied too much pressure. Best thing to do is follow the grain of your hair and try to only go over the area once in small strokes with this. For instance the hair on my adams apple grows upwards until I get about half way up my neck and it goes in the opposite direction. Buy yourself Grüum danne soothing shave gel I found this paired with it well and was kind to my skin. You will be a changed man after using this for a few weeks I promise!

I do three passes and follow each pass with a vigorous routine for those passes. For the first I just follow my hair growth with the need of beard reduction; second I do certain passes I learned on KZread; third I just go against grain very gently.
I failed math. How do I measure a 30 degree angle?
A video with this much information in less than 3 minutes! Bravo. Worth noting, your blades will last longer with the short strokes directed at the base of the hair, not dragging over the top of it which makes for a lot of cutting and re-cutting. Feather brand razor blades are high quality and very sharp, great for coarse and or thick hair. Just be careful around bumps and angles till it’s a little dulled from use. I get about 4-5 shaves from one blade.

@Jacob-ry3lu

Honestly, it is WAY easier to cut yourself or irritate your skin with a disposable razor. When he says you will remove the top layer of your skin, its not what you think it means. Razor burn is caused primarily from the razor blade putting too much friction on the skin and scraping off the thin epidermal layer of skin.
@DRock6906

I ran across this video and thought I'd give you some advice. I had BAAAD razor bumps years ago due to shaving incorrectly and with disposable blades. Until you "train" your beard, shave downward once with the grain, and then once across the grain and you will see a great improvement with your face. I normally shave every other day. I use Proraso Green, a Badger brush, and Personna blades. I shave one time downward over my entire face, once upward, and then a "clean up" pass across the grain to get any hairs I might have missed. You should never and I repeat NEVER shave with Mach 3's, or any razor with 4 or 5 blades! Each blade cuts the hair closer and closer. So if you do 2 passes with a Mach 3, it's like shaving your face 6 times. Sure it feels nice and smooth but the hairs are shaved beneath your skin. And if you have curly hair, that's a recipe for razor bumps like you've never seen! Doing 2 passes with a DE razor, the hairs are cut extremely close but not beneath your skin. The hairs don't have a chance to grow back into your face and you minimize your chances of getting razor bumps. Hope this helped my brother.

Just picked up a fairly cheap boar brush and stainless steel bowl and I use Prorosa soap/cream and find they do the job for a fairly cheap price. They are far from the best but beat out all your supermarket stuff by a mile. I actually enjoy shaving now, where as before with disposable razors, even the so called best of the best just didn't cut it or in fact did... but me... lol. Also once you get your set up and find products you like the overall cost becomes almost nothing. 100 pack of blades for $15 and soap that you can find online for $10 and that will last you a while. Ends up being about 80% cheaper at least for me. Sorry to babble on but it changed my life so now I want to help others.

Not sure if this is too late of a response but there's a few things that could help with cuts. first, make sure you use a pre-shave oil or a slick tube shaving cream as a base. Safety razors require a lot of lubricant to glide effortlessly. this is why traditional shaving creams applied with a brush are popular; they have a high fat content and provide a slick medium to run a razors over. if you don't want to go through the trouble of a brush and shave soap, then apply a layer of tube shaving cream followed by whatever you normally use. don't apply any pressure to your razor. Use a sharp blade, make sure it sits in the razor straight with the same blade exposure on both sides, and shave with the grain of your beard using short strokes. Rinse your face off, reapply your creams and shave perpendicular to your hair growth. for me this is from the ears towards the nose on both sides. rinse, reapply creams and shave against the grain if you want a super close shave. Avoid going against the grain on your neck if you're prone to irritation there. end with a rinse, alum block, and an aftershave without alcohol. you're good. keep it up.

@@Dwaynerade Thanks for the response. It's been almost a year now and I've really gotten the hang of it. It was just beginner's growing pains haha. I was using Williams shave soap for a long time but it started to irritate my skin so I switched to modern shave gel and have found that it works better with my face, surprisingly. I've gotten that angle figured out and barely get any cuts at all anymore. Usually just a knick or two, which one little poke with a steptic pen and they're taken care of.

Nice... now let’s see Paul Allen’s shaving routine...
More water with the lather please. It's looks superdry.
To anyone that purchased this razor, is it worth it or should i just stick to my Gillette?

Que frescura pra fazer barba
I just shave upwards on my neck and down on my face is that ok ?
I just want to shave and go. No time for face towels and soaking the foam in.
