Shaving... got the cream... got the razor... OUCH!

[newbladerunner]

Good.

Bic Classic Sensitive:

Because they are the smoothest and most comfortable.

Edge Gel Ultra Sensitive Fragrance Free:

Because of my allergies.

how about bic sensitive only. The packet is pink, the handle is pink and the top of the razor is white. It does not cut skin, i've tried it.

Like the rough and tough look

I like my face to be, and trying to make it look nice and tough like either:
Steven Seagal, Tom Selleck, or Sean Connery

I beleive that could be achevied by a hot towel preparation, badger brush, really close shave (preferably using a classic razor) and a good strong, rough face message and playing street-fighter or GTA

Are you saying the skin on your face cuts easily or the stubble?

The skin on my face cuts easily. My face is also very very irritated for a couple hours after I shave, so irritated that I can't even touch my face.

Since you guys are posting photographs...

Hey, since you guys are posting photographs, I thought I'll add one of my own...

I use this to trim the edges of my goatee. It was scary at first (in fact, they call it a cut-throat razor around here ) but I'm used to it now. I use a regular Gilette Sensor Excel for the rest of my face, though.

 

[newbladerunner]

how do you find your sensor excel? same problem as mine or does it cut properly?

i had my 1st cut today, and its double in the same place. Im sitting here holding a tiissue very firmly to my upper lip while typing (quite a bit of blood, cut deep looks like a gash). one big cut, one small cut. The big cut has stopped bleeding the small one hasnt. The cuts are a bit deep, hope i dont have to run into ER to get it stitched well i cant see the big cut anymore.

Bcoz the blades arent sharp as they say it is i was very firmly shaving against the grain on my upper lip.

i would like to sue gillette for it.

btw, the images of the cut-throat are bit too dark, cant see them

Have your tried exfoliating your legs? Exfoliating your body can help remove dead skin cells therefore, leaving a smooth foundation for your razor.

I like to use St. Ives Apricot exfoliator. I like to use lots Skintamite shave gel.

I hope this helps!

Sensor Excel works fine for me, but the blades wear out quickly. If I use a blade more than three or four times, it seems to lose its edge, and then I start to get cuts. So now I just throw out the blade after a few shaves.

Thought I'd better join in the shaving party. I use a Shick blade. Not sure what sub-tube so to speack. I don't cut myself oftern, not sure many people do. I only seem to get cuts when it's blunt or I'm shaving like a mad man (often).

i think i was shaving a bit like a mad-man, pressing it too hard into my face and yesterday i over done it and the blade must have slipped into my upper lip.

im 19, i use the cheapest razor i can find in stores, usually from Bic the pen company. i dont know why anyone says shaving is hard, its just a hassel to remember to do it. i rarely cut myself

 

[newbladerunner]

Doesnt bic but your face while your shaving?
i've so many things about bic how it can mess with ones face.

Shaving isnt hard unless you're shaving with a classic Double Edge razor, otherwise shaving is all about sticking razor into your face and scraping hard with it.

I've seen the Gillette Fusion 5+1 blade TV commerical again, the guy shaving and the chick admiring the smooth clean finish - as if there wont be any razor burn or razor bumps with 6 blades
