  • For those that say you get razor burn... do you shave against the grain?? I've never had this problem except for the first time when I went against the grain and oh my lands, that ranks in the top 5 worst decisions of my life. 

    I'd like to try Brazilian some time for sure, but I'm a cheap skate.

    I don't get awful razor burn (some bumps every now and then), but are you saying to shave in the direction of hair growth? Because if I did that, I'd never be smooth enough.

    Yep, that's what I'm saying. It's what men do to shave their faces, too.
    Are you saying you shave against the grain and don't get razor burn? You really are lucky ;)

  • Yeah, if I shave in the direction of the grain I might as well not bother shaving at all. Too rough.  Wax all the way (when I can afford it).  It hurts during, but it last so long, looks and feels better too.  I think it's worth it.
