Whenever I kiss my girlfriend for any period of time i end up irritating the skin around her mouth and she has red marks around her mouth the next morning because of the stubble on my face. Ive tried just about everything when it comes to shaving to get a close shave. I used different shave creams, gels, soaps, shaving with lotion, even shaving against the grain doesnt do the trick. Any suggestions on how to prevent this from happening?

You are rushing your personal hygene! Gillete used to have an ad out concerning this(about 50 years ago). Take at least a full minute of washing your face, before putting on the shaving cream. Your whiskers need time to absorb the wash water & soap. That lets them swell with the moisture and your pores open better. Then shave.

If you will brush your teeth before face washing, and shaving, the whiskers in your mouth area have even more time to soften with the extra water and soap. Your girl friend just may say thank you.....

My wife gets irritated skin in the same place when we make out for a while.
And I get irritated skin on my face when I eat her out for extended lenghts of time. It's just something you deal with.

You should always shave against the grain. It's necessary.

This might be a stupid question but will this still work for well if im white since it says on the site that its designed for black men?

I'm shocked at how few people have been clued in on the fine art of shaving.

I have a heavy beard and get razor bumps terribly, or at least I did. The trick to a baby butt smooth, irritation free shave is a quality shave soap, a quality NON-DISPOSABLE piece of shit razor, and a shaving brush.

Seriously.

Only shave after a shower, it opens up the pores and softens the beard, which helps keep a nice smooth shave. The brush and quality razor will last literally forever, just need to change out the blades. It's absolutely astounding how much longer the shave lasts when it's done properly as well. I used to shave every day, now I can skip a day, sometimes two. Totally worth the initial investment of about $60. Put your best face forward, gentlemen!

Oh shit thanks for this link^

i was just tellin my pops that we need to get some old school shit like this. He used to do it himself but that was back on the east coast and a looong time ago... The barber I go to (when i actually go, i usually cut my hair myself) gives me a shave with a straight razor, he edges me up with a straight razor too, and NOTHING lasts as long as being edged up with a straight razor its like the hair is afraid to grow back lol

I've been meaning to look for a decent resource for this sorta thing, thanks for the shortcut!

I'm in, but I want a switchblade and we have to be tied together by our left wrist...I'm gonna wear a blue t-shirt that's a tad snug and some baggy (not like gay baggy, falling off my ass baggy, but like old skool baggy) jeans, so wear something slightly different or people will think we're gay...I'm thinking you should wear khakis and a letterman's sweater and white bucks...

feel free to bring a bunch of friends to cheer you on, but I'm only gonna bring She Say and after I cut your intestines out I'm hopping in my hoopdee and driving off the nearest cliff...so make sure one of your friends is a stand up guy that can provide financial and emotional security for her and my kids...also...make sure he doesn't mind that he'll never measure up sexually with me in her or any woman's eyes.

No homo...just a suggestion...if we're dressed exactly the same, random passersby will wonder why it is we're fighting to his death...a strong dichotomy in dress makes it absolutely clear why he must die...

Good call....but no one will bet on me...people hate me because I'm a greaser...and a rebel...and I have no cause...I'm rebelling against whatever needs rebelling against....but when Xen's guts and his gay straight blade razor (symbolizing everything I stand against - short hair, clean shaved, Teh Establishment)are shredded by my switchblade...people will see that they judged me wrongly...it will also help me when people discover Xen's father is not really a benevolent town leader, but rather a raper of men and women and the oil derrick he wanted to build would really have hurt the manatees and Xen knew all about the top secret study proving this, but worked to keep it covered up....then...people will love me...how unfortunate I drove off that cliff as the opening strands of "Pure and Easy" by Teh Who begin to play as the credits roll...
