New to the forum and to shaving.

Hey everyone,
So I’m new here and I want to start shaving. I and have yet to shave and am getting that embarassing peach fuzz above my lip and a few chin hairs and have a few questions. A little background on me though. I’m 15, mixed (moms white dads black) and haven’t shaved before. Anyway, here are my questions
What kind of razer should I use?
How can I avoid those little red bumps?
Any advice?
Any and all advice, tips, and tricks are welcome. I’m a huge newbie at this and would welcome anything.

 

Michael, welcome to The Shave Den! I'm glad you decided to join!

Stop by the 30 Day Rule/Focus thread (link in my signature), introduce yourself, and the good folks there will be glad to help you get started out right. A double edge (DE) razor, blades, a shaving brush, and shaving cream or soap is all you need. With a little practice and some help from the 30 Day Crew, you'll be getting smooth shaves with no shaving bumps or irritation.

Welcome!

Welcome to TSD @Michael Bilyard! Charlie @wristwatchb beat me to the invite. The 30 Day Crew is all about coaching new shavers in the techniques that will get your best shaves.

HERE's the LINK!

EDIT; Charlie is on top of his game tonight! Read the opening post by Neal @NCoxSTL, then you can skip to the end and jump in. Plenty of catch up reading at your leisure.

 

Welcome, Michael.

 

Hi @Michael Bilyard , welcome to TSD. As I look back to when I was about your age, what pleases me the most is that I learned to like the smell of Clubman aftershave. I don't know what your preferences will be(or are now), but it's always neat to find out that some teen-agers go right for the classic brands. Good to have you here.

 

hello and welcome..lots of how to s and info here. good luck with whatever type of gear you choose..

 

Welcome!

 

Paul, don't scare the lad off with Clubman.

 

Welcome to the shave den!!!

 

Welcome to the show. It is great to see a young man getting started in the right way. Every one here will have their own advise. Stating with the 30DC group is a good way to go. Don't forget about Single Edge and Injector razors. A nice Schick G would be a great razor to start with for you!

 

I certainly wasn't scared off with my first use of it, as I said just a little older than he is now. But I know you're just messin with me.

 

Welcome Michael, I think you've found the right place to get started. Keep in mind you have to find what works for you, so take what works and leave the rest on the table.

 

Welcome!
