>I got nothing.

Pretty freeing to grow out the face fuzz and not have to care about shaving every week. Only have to worry about brushing out the natty hair on a daily basis.

When I did, I'd just use regular shaving cream and a razor. Nothing special.

Wife got a set for me when we got married. Love that stuff.

Tried the shea butter cream. Not bad. Clogs the razor a bit, but nothing too serious. May give that some more spin

As for razors, I'd been using all manner of Gillette for close to 2 decades until that Fusion dropped and the Mach 3 was being forced out. I gave DSC a whirl and haven't been disappointed, and my wallet is much happier too. If you don't feel like signing up, but want to give them a one shot try, head on to Amazon and search for Dorco razors (I think you can buy straight from Dorco as well). As it stands now I've got a stockpile of razors and handles

I just did a feature with them and they're apparently bringing black men back to the shave razor.

I haven't tried the product yet, but the company seems great.

In response to Reply # 19


  

          

I can't go too hard for the actual product yet (I haven't razored myself since the early 00s cause it would give me bumps. but i'd be down to try it)

but I really like the company's approach to marketing.
they're savvy and everything they put out looks up to par.
really nice to see from a minority owned business.

In response to Reply # 22


          

I used AoS products for several years and had great results for a good long while but I eventually started getting bumps again. I'm considering Bevel but if the safety razor doesn't have some sort of special design, it ain't worth it.

I'm starting to think my bump issue is partially diet related though because I get the fewest bumps when I'm stictly paleo.

I've got a sweet tooth and whenever I indulge, I have skin issues.

Some chocolate, a bag of Skittles, whatever... I'm getting an ingrown hair or pimple within the day.

If I needed a new razor, I'd buy from them, just to support black business, but they aren't offering anything new or novel. They're just marketing it to us (at a serious markup).

55. "The wife copped me Bevel for Christmas...a quick review."
In response to Reply # 16


          

I know it's overpriced but I wanted to support the boy Tristan while giving this razor shave thing one more chance.

I'd been scared to use it but I was switching jobs and had a two week gap where I'm wasn't working and could afford to have the Nestle Crunch face if things went pear-shaped.

So far so good. It's basically the exact same "wet shave" approach that BigReg describes below, just everything all packaged up for you. I like the products they include like the shaving cream and the post shave moisturizer. You can tell they're of quality and have natural ingredients.

The key difference from my other disastrous attempts at razor shaving is one: using the saftey razor and not a 5 blade mach 18 that cuts hairs below the skin line. The the other key, and the Bevel guide tells you this, is to learn the hair growth pattern of your beard and shave WITH the grain. Under my chin, my beard mostly grows to the right and in the past I was unwittingly shaving against the grain and cutting it too low. Now I go with that shit and no razor bumps.

So Bevel's been cool for me thus far. It takes more time than just breaking out my Andis clippers, but it is a closer smoother shave.

And oh yeah...the safety razor is not to be trifled with. It's says "safety" but you can lacerate the fuck out yourself with that shit if you get the wrong angle and too aggressive with your strokes. Be forewarned.

Magic shave smells like rotten eggs and asscracks...

And I wait a couple days in between shaves to give the hair a little time to grow out before I chope it down again. I also usually shave the night before so that any inflammation dies down before it's time to hit the office.

37. "Wet Shaving for the complete and utter win"
In response to Reply # 0


  

          

Whatcha need?

Safety Razor.
Badger Brush.
Quality shaving creams like this:

http://www.fendrihan.com/taylor-bond-street-shaving-cream-bowl-almond-p-1658.html?currency=USD&gclid=CMHxw5aHusMCFYI_aQodqqwAWA

(Don't scoff at the price tag, this lasts forever...it's cheaper then the gillete cans)

and some kind of astringent. I use this one because I am a dick, but you can use witch hazel.

http://www.kiehls.com/Blue-Astringent-Herbal-Lotion/3700194721602,default,pd.html?srccode=cii_17588969&cpncode=44-27425300-2

1)Soak the brush in some hot water
2)Hop out of the shower (or use a hot towel method if you have a butler). The heat is to open your pores
3)Dab a small amount of cream on the brush, go to work on ya face
4)Safety razor. It takes a bit to get used to, but the idea is to give yourself a close shave but not 5 blade mega-close so it doesn't lead to ingrowns
5)Water and astringent to keep the pores clean and to lessen the change of ingrowns.

I did this for years and it was spectacular.

In response to Reply # 41


  

          

The quality is great, but imho it's a bit overpriced for a bit of steel(i got mine at a drug store for cheap).

But any real safety razor would work...it's the blades that are more, or sometimes less forgiving.

I was using these:

http://www.amazon.com/Derby-Extra-Double-Razor-Blades/dp/B004SGKMA0

that were a bit more on the forgiving side.
