Hi all,
I have been DE shaving since the start of 2015 and would never go back to cartridge razors. Shaving went from a necessity to a hobby almost overnight!
I made the change because I have both sensitive skin and very coarse hair. Razor bumps and burn plagued my time using cartridge razors.
But even with all the improvements (ingrowing hairs & bumps are minimal now) I have still never mastered shaving under my bottom lip without several nicks appearing.
I can quite often get a WTG pass cleanly, but XTG or ATG will usually leave me looking Vampire-ish!
I am currently using:
Kent BK8 brush
EJ DE89L
TOBS Jermyn St Cream
Glyce pre shave soap
Astra Superior Platinum blades
Post shave
Osma Alum Bloc
Thayers Witch Hazel
I have only tried 3 DE blades (Feather, Derby, Astra) and I have stuck with Astra as it is the best of the 3. But I have ordered some different blades this week!
If anybody has experienced similar or has any suggestions it would be much appreciated!
Cheers
Daniel
