Re: Agressive razors?

I know. I read it back indeed, however aggressiveness of the razor itself wasn't really discussed then. I didn't know then it could be an issue.
My God, has it been six years already...

Re: Agressive razors?

Sometimes a little razor burn when I'm in a hurry. The ingrowns are often single hairs, mostly on the jaw bone. The other day I pulled a hair out with a pair of tweezers that was about two cm long. Curling up under the skin. Sometimes on the neck, but they don't tend to grow so long underneath the s...

Re: Agressive razors?

Thanks for commenting on the subject.
I use a safety razor for a while now. Still have ingrown hairs now and then. I thought maybe due to the aggressiveness of my razor. I use a Merkur 23C.

I use a Merkur razor, usually with Taylor of Old Bond Street (sandalwood) and Derby blades. Today I bought a blade try-out package with several different blades (Feather, Derby, Merku...

Okay, I've been shaving with my Merkur 23C for a few weeks now and I must say that it's not as hard as I thought it would be. I definitely enjoy shaving more. Don't know if it's because this way of shaving is better or because I take more time shaving. I indeed like the shaving cream much better tha...

Newbie needs help

Hi there y'all, Untill now I've been shaving with Wilkinson Quattro Titanium and I had almost ran out out of blades, so I visited some webshops to buy new ones. There I found out that people use DE-razors and via some research I ended up here, on this great forum. I'm thinking about changing to thes...
