Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum, I've been looking around for a while but finally decided to make an account.
I'm 17 y/o (18 within 2 weeks ) and I come from Belgium. Therefore my apologies for my lack of english voc & grammar!
Please take your time to read this because i am having this troubles for so so long.
I've been having problems with shaving for quite some time. For my age I already have a rather strong beard. But let's start with the beginning so you guys have an idea of everything i've already tried.
So i guess it starts at 14 years, when boys start shaving their downy moustache. I started with a electric shaver of Braun. Well, in the beginning that worked, but after some time (1,5 years?) when my hairs started growing on my neck and cheek the Braun wasn't doing his job anymore. I just couldn't get rid of the hairs.
Therefore I changed my electric shaver, I went to Philips. Why? Because braun has just 1 head that moves in one direction. I thought Philips would be better because they have three heads and you can move them in every direction.
But same story, again when my beard grew stronger this wasn't doing the job anymore, I can't get rid of all the hairs.
So that's the time I decided to go away from electric shavers and switch to Gilette.
My dad also shaves electric so he couldn't give me a proper introduction into shaving so I had to figure it all out myself.
Used the techniques i learned from the web.
But when I shave with a razor from Gilette I am really smooth but I have a lot of irritation. So I tried tons of products. Different balms, after-shaves and so on. I also switched from Mach3 to Fusion but that wasn't a solution either and I really want to get rid of the irritation because, be honest, it's ugly.
For the moment I changed back to the philips because the irritation was really bad with the Gilette razor, I had it in my neck and on my cheeks.
But now I also have irritation in my neck with the electric razor.
So how I shave right now, I let my beard stand for about a 5 days/ a week, and when it's really long I trim it and then shave it, then it's smooth and are all my hairs gone but I always want to be smooth!
So my main question is if I should change to a DE razor. It's almost my birthday so I could ask for something like this (http://www.manandshaving.nl/product/625/mühle_stylo_scheerset_zwart_chroom_klassiek_scheermes.aspx).
Is it worth the investment and will I be sure that this will help me?
I already read that you really need a month to get used to it, but after this time it should be very good.
Will i get rid of the irritation with a thin lather and a single blade?
Hoping to get some answers and thank you for reading this.
Again pardon my english!
