Quote from: saintc on May 25, 2010, 06:31:39 PMThen I'd suggest an astringent after shaving, hydrogen peroxide is cheap and effective as is witch hazel. Then a oil free after shave balm, I am partial to Nivea Extreme--very light aroma, but no oil to clog pores, finish w/ sunscreen. How would you apply the Hydrogen peroxide, just with your hands? or what? I have some of that.

the top of my head shaves easy because its thin. but the sides and back (particularly the sides) give me a hard time and I feel like I gotta keep going over those parts over and over before its smooth, and i think this is causing my razor burn.how do you guys get a smooth shave in those coarse spots where the hair is thicker without getting razor burn?
I'd say let the weight of the razor do its own thing. Do not apply too much pressure.Use a badger shaving brush also before shaving. Shaving brushes helps lift the hair from the skin and that is what most men do not know.
