Shaving is painful.

I hate shaving in a box, I hate shaving with a fox
I hate shaving under a boat, I hate shaving while standing on a float
...you get the point


I just want to say that if I could go back to being the baldfaced child I used to be I'd have 5-10 extra minutes every morning to freaking relax.

I use King of Shaves shaving gel and the mach 3 glides on it. Yes you have to replace blades on mach 3 frequently.

or

the other solution is to nair your face.

Actually, Nair on your face is a bad idea. Your face is much more sensitive than your legs.

Use plenty of shaving cream and a good razor, hold it at a constant angle and move the razor with the contours. Make sure to pull the skin tight for the extra curvy areas and don't be afriad, nicks are a part of life. Make sure you use a nice after lotion to keep the bumps and irritation away. Make sure you re-apply the lotion later that day if you get itchy, you don't want people staring at you scratching your crotch, cuz goddamn does it ever get crazy-itchy.

Personally I just use clippers on the 3mm setting for the naughty bits and clippers with no guard flipped backwards for the face, gives that day old stubble feeling without the irritation.

Just remember, if you don't remember when you changed the damn razor on your Mach 3, CHANGE IT ANYWAYS. *sniffs and stares at flaming pits of doom*

Nah, it hurts me too. I have to wait at least 3 days before I can shave again, new razor or not, otherwise it feels like papercuts all over. My hair grows at an angle against the skin, that might have something to do with it.

My facial hair is so coarse, I can hang the razor off of it. Shaving is not a pleasant experience.

That just means your face hasn't gotten used to it. Call us when you have to shave every other day.

I have to shave every day, and I get what he's saying.

It's not that it flat out hurts, but (atleast for some people) it sure doesn't just glide easily cutting the hair.
