Got a question for the more experienced SLY ones....Today was my first day with the the SLY look. I shaved last night about 7:00 and then again this morning about 5:30. I noticed by early afternoon that I already had alot of stubble. (I hate stubble). It was very smooth last night and this morning after I shaved. I haven't really gotten a very good razor yet. I normally use an electric (Braun) for my face. So I just used a generic triple blade razor that I already had for my head. I thought that it worked alright at the time but now I am wondering if it might be the cause of the stubble. I plan on getting something better, just haven't had the time this week.Any thoughts, or is this just normal???
I'll take a stab at this. I think you've got a few things working against you. #1 10.5 hours isn't long between shaves. Most guys seem to think you get a closer shave if the stubble is a bit longer so the razor gets a better bite. I get the best shave after 25-27 hours. #2 Try to wait a little while after you get up before you shave. That time allows the fluid in your cells to shift down out of your scalp. #3 Try a better razor, that's part of the fun. I prefer the Headblade. Some like the Fusion or Mach 3. Whatever is in your budget. #4 I believe an exfoliator really helps. I use the Headshed. Some have suggested St. Ives Apricot Scrub. Good luck!
