donkey anus Don'the buy this POS shaver.

[Troy Spiral (13)]

I'm a little bit of a kind of a  connoisseur shavers,  that is face shavers for men. I'm not made out of money, more like I'm made out of a tiny food stamp. (Modern Origami rocks)

So having mega sensitive skin is just awesome. The good shavers are expensive. The pretty good shavers are expensive. (See wish list for current 'best value' shaver)

Mine has been m.i.a for way too long. I can't figure out what the hell happened to it. A good one cost 70-80 bux and up. But I need something other than a straight razor unless I'm in the mood first of masochism which I'm usually not unless its you know BDSM day and I'm the domain lol.

So I went to Meijer and bought this piece of crap.

 

This shouldn't be called a grooming tool. It should be called a chicken feather plucker / cheese grater. If you like me and skin is super sensitive just go with a decent straight razor interview with the fucking catclaws on your face until you can afford a good a good electric shaver.

Just press real hard with the Kleenex and hold it the blood of stop. Who knows maybe it'll make  you feel more manly.

 

Little tip for my uncle Troy.

 

If you're going to the gathering tomorrow just look for the guy that's way too tall with black hair and has a new nickname called patch face. Lol

Troy, I use a straight razor but here is the key, Disposable Blades with the corners rounded.

Now I'm not saying you don't know how to shave, but in my experience most men don't.

During that crucial time, my father kept an electric shaver in his car because he got 5 o'clock  shadow at noon. So my mother who just raked the hair off her legs and pits with a bic, "Taught" me how to shave and drove me to sporting a goatee for years so that my chin wasn't infested with ingrown hairs.

It took me years to figure it all out.

Keep your mirror treated with Rain-X anti fog.

Wet the hair and keep it wet with water for a minimum of 5 minutes. It softens the hair making it easier to cut.

Oil, not cream, foam, soap or detergent. Extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, shaving oil, hell even butter is better. Oils don't suck the oil from your shin or prevent you from seeing it. I use Shave Secret when I want to smell spicy, and Ceder oil when I want to smell woodsy and coconut when I don't want a scent.

Shave in the direction the hair grows, not against it. Sure you get a smother shave but whats better a smooth shave now or red bumpy irritated skin later?

Do not repeatedly shave over the same spot. TWICE MAX! Either give your face a few hours to recuperate or cut hairs you missed with small grooming scissors.

Strop strop strop, I can not say strop enough. Every few strokes, STROP! You can strop any blade even those crappy multi blades with wire guards designed to destroy your face. Don't own a strop? Don't have a leather belt, or refuse to use it as a strop? Use your hand! If you run the blade backwards against the friction ridges at the base of your thumb, you will be stropping. Not only does it reduce the scratching, and improve the cutting, but it extends the life of your blade. But you probably should be using a disposable straight razor, and at less than $0.03 cents a blade you should consider a fresh blade every time.

Do not put any alcohol based product on your face. Use cold water to close your pours. Though I prefer not to have open pours to begin with, better to have nice looking skin than to risk ingrown hairs.

Pat, not rub dry.
