Default What Brand Razor do you use??

i've used about 5 different ones over the years and can never find one that I love.

It was first the 3 blades which I loved then the 4 blades which was better. Now 5 blades and I think those don't get as close as the 3 or 4 blade ones. I had a 5 blade one and it would just pull the hair out and not cut it. So I trashed it. I think it's time for a change. I shave in the shower to save time so I'm not sure if that plays a part in it or not. Yes I use shaving cream. Any help would be great.

Been thinking of an electric one but not sure if I'll like them..

Thanks

I have horribly sensitive skin and have tried everything from the dollar store disposables to the 20$ shick/gillete etc and all in between.

The best thing ive found to date is a womens razor the Venus pro skin, its 3 blades with a really smooth pad of moisturizer on both the top and bottom, i have to be clean shaven and sweat in the outdoors all day, this is the only razor to date that doesnt cause me unbearable irritation.

( i know, womens razor= gay........F off haters, im comfortable at work.)

FWIW, ive bout 2 100$ electrics and used them religiously, to no avail, they all pull hairs on my lower neck out something fierce.

Gillete proglide power here with sensitive shave gel. Works pretty well for me, but razors wear out fast if you don't shave regularily

Lol @ ***** or face :-). I use my old face razors to shave my *****. No shaving cream, and I shave in the shower. Gillete 3 blade disposables. It also helps to figure put HOW to shave your face. Everyone is a little different. Shave slowly and try not to go over the same spot multiple times. A little moisturizing lotion afterwards may also help.

lol@***** or face

and yea funny **** I do the same thing Pwebbz28.

I work out in the brush daily, sometimes low crawling, being in the extreme heat and covered in dirt for the most part. And yes I have to shave daily as well, I found some green Gilette ones...link below.

http://www.walgreens.com/store/c/gil..._Personal_Care

Out of all the disposables I've tried those are the best and last the longest. Not trying to be a cheapo by any means, but each razor usually last me a whole week. I used to use the Nivea Sensitive skin gel/foam shaving cream but then I discovered something called "Secret Shave" and man I've never gone back to shaving cream.

http://www.amazon.com/SHAVE-SECRET-S...8714401&sr=8-1

that's the link to the secret shave stuff, its like some kind of oil that you apply in a few drops and man that sonofbish open up your pores and allows you to get a good close shave in.

Just my .02.....
