Shaved it clean by nomoore on 14 Aug, 2015 21:04

So Sunday night I finally shaved it clean. I started by trimming down to a 1 with my Wahl trimmer. I didn't like the way it looked (I think it was uneven) so I trimmed it down with no guard. Then I was like "I've gone this far so I may as well shave it." I head lathered with my soap and brush and shaved with my DE I use for my face. And what a crumby job I did! That particular razor ('20s Gillette Tech) tends to be finicky about the angle. I should have known better and used my '40s Super Speed. Anyway, so I did a crumby job with my DE so I popped the foil attachment on my trimmer and got it mostly smooth. That was the first time I used that attachment and it wasn't half bad. I have attached pics of me about 12 hours later. I had quite a bit of redness and irritation from it all.
On Tue morning I shaved again, this time with the Super Speed, and it came out much better. I think I have some ingrown hairs though, maybe from the foil shaver? Anyway, I still have some learning to do if I want to keep it clean shaven. But I haven't shaved since Tuesday morning (it is now Fri night) and I'm kind of liking the look of a few days growth.

Not a bad job! I know that you said that you would never grow a beard, but would you consider a goatee? As far as the bumps/ingrown hairs, Bump Patrol is great for healing them within 72 hours, or if you don't mind the higher price, Tend Skin is pretty fast in clearing up ingrown hairs and bumps. All in all, it's still a great improvement from your earlier photos.

My wife definitely didn't like it. It will take her a while to get used to it.

It is very common for wives and family to not like it at first, they need time to adjust.
