Jimbo's Drinker Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I use the Mach 3 turbo, and I swear I cut my face every single time. Are there better options for shaving out there?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyyle23 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 the quattro is awesome, but Ill be damned if Im spending 28 bucks for a 4 pack refill. I stopped worrying about it and switched to disposables. They do the job just as good and I never get cut. And they are cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whitewashed in '05 Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 I use mach 3 turbo as well and I always get razor burn on the neck. It's not the brand of the razor though. Anyone try that Philips Norelco razor on tv with the three heads? I've been thinking about giving that a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milkman delivers Posted December 1, 2008 Share Posted December 1, 2008 Works extremely well, hardly ever cuts me, and is useful when trimming around the beard. I recommend it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigEdWalsh Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I first shave rather quickly with an electric razor, then shave with a cheap disposable (which, because I'm so cheap, I tend to use over and over until it hardly works at all).

Haha nah, I use an electric razor and only if I think im getting action that night or am going somewhere important.. other than that I leave it scratchy at all times and just use a trimmer to shorten it instead of shaving it off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any prevention suggestions? I'll save you both the money I spent at the zit doc. There is probably one direction that causes the problems. You will not get as close of a shave, but try shaving down on your face and up on your neck. Razor irritation generally happens when you are going against the grain. It may not feel as close, but it will generally look fine. Also, use a sharp blade, as the blades dull, they will increase irritation. Also, the razor rash will masquerade as zits at times. As far as the norelco, it will probably give you the worst razor burn of your life, if the directional thing is the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heads22 Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I use a Norelco, and while it takes a while to do the job (certainly doesn't cut as close as I'd like), it eventually does it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any prevention suggestions? There are a couple things to prevent razor burn and stuff. The type of shaving cream you use. So you might want to try aveeno or neutrogena. Also, shaving after a hot shower or while in the shower also helps because it makes your skin soft. Make sure your razors aren't too old or aren't dirty. I was also told by my dermatologist to go up on the neck too, but that jacked me up REAL bad so... Shaving over the same spots over and over will worsen the burn so try to go through just once. I still can't avoid razor burn though so this is just to reduce it. Lotion also helps because it moisturizes the skin. So mixed results on the norelco huh...

mreye Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 Norelco Electric for me. My neck isn't as close as I would like, but it's not too bad and my hair is a light red, so it's barely noticeable. I use a regular razor for weddings and what not to get a better shave and use whatever's in my bathroom bag - I have a few different ones that I got free in the mail.

SleepyWhiteSox Posted December 2, 2008 Share Posted December 2, 2008 I use Schick Quattro. As far as the price for refills, I just bought some of the gift packs from last year as they got cheaper and I sign up for the free razors when I see them on slickdeals.net. There's also coupons and rebates in the paper sometimes... I get razor burn on my neck too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
