How's everyone doing my name is Marlon Tyus and I am moving over to de shaving for some months now shaving has been terrible for me I've used andis trimmers, as well as their "shaver" that got me somewhat shaved but I still would have hairs in random spots especially my neck. I have also tried cartridge shaving and I broke out crazy I just turned 20 so I know my skin will heal but I don't wanna go through cartridge shaving anymore. I've also tried magic shave that stuff smells rank but my father swears by it, it just wasn't for me even shaving with that for the few times I did I couldn't get clean enough. I don't have a beard I only grow "stubble beard" or a 5 o'clock shadow that's about as long as my hair grows so that always made me wonder why I couldn't get clean shaven I am a black young man so de shaving is my last hope I am planning on buying a edwin jagger de 89bl so hopefully that will be a good choice. I am so thankful to have been browsing getting rid of razor bumps and finding this site.
