r/shaving

Hi guys, I'm looking for an electric shaver to use and saw this "Men's Electric Shaver - MAX-T Corded and Cordless Rechargeable 3D Rotary Shaver Razor for Men with Pop-up Sideburn Trimmer Wet and Dry, IPX7 Waterproof, Plug & Play" on Amazon, and its a lot cheaper than the other Philips Norelco Shaver 7200 one and both has decent ratings so do you guys think I should buy it? (I use it to shave my facial hair btw)

Thanks!

I need to see where I'm shaving so I need a non foaming shave gel that stays transparent. I'm also sensitive to fragrances so I need an unscented product. I live in Canada. I've tried the Bulldog sensitive shave gel but it foams up despite being advertised as non foaming. Thanks for any suggestions!

A bit shy about this but I don't need to get my mom involved bc she was helping with shaving my armpits not private

I just shaved the first time today I um shaved the top rim of my uh private.

And now it's itching and hurting I put witch hazel on it with a damp cotton pad but what should I do-

I'm a woman

My friend recommended me the ‘No Hair Crew Intimate Hair Removal Cream’ he uses as an effective way for me to remove all the hair down there because the idea of using a razor scares me😂
I used it two weeks ago today and a day after that bumps started appearing on my upper thigh and private area. They look like pimples and look better than what they did before but still feel itchy from time to time.
I’ve tried searching for the remedy for this but haven’t found a clear answer and when I check on Reddit for the solution, the issue is related to women.
Please someone tell me the cure especially cos I think I might have plans this weekend where bumps in these areas won’t be ideal.🙏🙏

How are you guys using the double sided razors ro replace leaf razors? I snap them in half but the snapped edge is so sharp and because it was bent, it’s like curved and it scratched me a bit. Am I doing something wrong?

After letting the charger connect for a moment, unplugging it and putting the shaver down, if I pick it up again after the display turns off, it displays "Charging Complete" even though the battery is 98% charged.

I am curious to know if this is the case for you.

Hi guys,
last summer I bought a safety razor and the Venus trimmer. The blades that came with the safety razor are too short so it doesn’t shave anything now, and the Venus trimmer stopped working probably because of water dammage.
I originally bought the trimmer bc I don’t like to shave my private area completely bald, I immediately get razor bumps even though I use the Venus sensitive serum and wear cotton underwear the first two days after shaving.

I was wondering how you guys shave and what shaving products you use. I’m only looking to shave legs, armpits, and private area.

So recently I(20M) started shaving my beard and i felt that clean shave is a good look on me. But the problem is the routine of shaving since my beard grows back in 5-6 days and it’s annoying to go everytime to barber and shave them.
I am thinking of trying shaving at home itself but im scared of cuts and stuff so are there any advice or good tutorials for this and what materials should I get beforehand to do this.
Thank you in advance.

I'm looking for recommendations on the best shavers for my preferences/facial hair/skin!

I have somewhat sensitive skin, straight moderate-thick coarse hair on my goatee area, but much more sparse and less coaarse on my cheeks/neck area.

I usually shave every other day but sometimes I can go 5-6 days without shaving.

I'm currently just using a oneblade, but want something to give me a much closer shave without a lot of irritation/redness.

I've considered:
Phillips i9000 Prestige
Panasonic Arc 6
Braun Series 9 Pro (+? not sure the difference for the plus/prestige models of each)

Thanks for the help!

edit: i forgot to mention i have a strong bone structure, so shaving around my jawline/neck area can be really annoying/irritating sometimes

Hey everyone,

I’m Ricky, founder of Irving Barber Company. I spent two years developing our flagship razor with a focus on traditional barbering, but I have become a wet shaver myself and will never go back. While I come from the barbering side of the industry, I’ve always respected the passion and knowledge within the wet shaving community as you guys were some of the first to purchase our razor in 2015. I wanted to finally join in and learn directly from the people who live it every day.

I’m not here to push products or spam the subreddit.

A better understanding on the ingredients you look for in shave soaps, preshave/ beard oils, and aftershaves will help us bring quality products in the future. Right now most of the products for barber are basic with an overwhelming cheap fragrance.

Looking mostly to avoid nicks and bleeding. lol

You all, I have tried exfoliating, dry brushing before showering, a multitude of different blades and shaving oils and creams, but everything seems to irritate me and give me razor bumps and irritation/itchiness

I try not to shave too often bc of this, but sometimes I will have to bc I need to wear a bathing suit. But every times I shave (yes, I do the down, side to side, then up method), I get so irritated! It’s not even a clean shave either!!! Bc of this, I’ve started to develop some darkness and hyperpigmentation, and it’s making me incredibly insecure.

What do I need to do differently? Are there any products that could help? I’m scared to try nair bc of burns, and I’ve never waxed bc I’m nervous I will get bumps.

Please help a girl out.

Zero length every morning, keeping it manual. What razor and foam/gel do you use day-to-day? Nothing premium, just whatever works.

I been using a foil shaver for a while now and i am having problems with getting rid of the hairs in my neck. Any tips or perhaps recommend me a good quality shaver to do the job?

I want to buy a Philips i9000 but im wondering if the cleaning pot is really necesary or is just marketing?

Share you experience please with and without the cleaning pod....

Sorry if this is worded weirdly I’m a little uncomfortable even asking this but I want to figure it out soon rather than later.

I’m 16 and haven’t shaved/trimmer hair below the waist at all before and don’t have any specific products made to do so. I’ve done a bit of research and it keeps coming up as I should use a comb as a barrier while using scissors to trim the hair and avoid cutting skin. I won’t be surprised if this is true but I think we can all agree Google isn’t the best source.

If anyone can give advice so I could trim the hair without cutting my nuts or something it would be appreciated😅

What is recommended or most used option?

Splash then Balm or Balm then Splash?

What's Your favourite electric shaver and have you compared/tried others.

I’m over electric shavers that take forever and still leave patchy spots. I use them because razors give me shave rash. I currently have the Panasonic Series 1000 Pro 6 Blade, I got this one because it seemed the best when reading reviews and was a new model (price being high also gave me hopes). I honestly still find myself going over areas multiple times and always needing a razor after to get certain spots the Electric shouldn't get properly (mainly patches under chin and neck). Maybe I expect too much out of electric shavers and its not meant to leave you clean shaved. Mainly after something reliable and easy to use for everyday shaving. Don’t mind paying more if it’s actually worth it.

Here is my routine and I'm interested to know what other people do.

>Wake up and wash face.
>45 minutes to an hour later when face is fully dry I use Lab Series Pre Electric Shave.
>Shave with foil shaver.
>Warm/hot shower
>In shower, wash face and neck with Nivea Men Sensitive Face Wash.
>Cold water rinse at end of shower to close pores.
>Dry off.
>Hypochlorous acid mist.
>When that dries, Nivea Men Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
>When that absorbs (10 - 20 minutes later) moisturizer.

Does this routine make sense? What do you do?
