We were able to send a man to the moon 40 years ago. Why can't we have shaving equipment that won't break skin? (And before anyone says "electric", I've managed to cut myself on those too.)

That makes two of us.

It's because they forgot that the foil is sharp too.

And electric razors never were able to do a decent job with my face, either. Either I get major razor burns or I need to reshave with my old trusted Mach3...

Every razor I've had left me with razor burn when I tried to use it again within three days. And people keep recommending different creams. I've tried them all and I still can't fix that.

I know what you mean, exactly. I've had to deal with various shaving gels lately, and so far the one that did the best job for me was the Edge SensitiveSkin with Aloe innit (though I find it hard to find, the non-aloe version being the close second).

Although, for a close shave, I tend to shave with the grain, rinse, put more cream/gel, shave against the grain. It gives me a few burns most of the time, but that's what gives me the LESS burns when I want it close.

And I'm still using the old-school mach 3 from gillette. XD

I only do the close shaves so I can get away with those three day gaps... Couldn't do it this time.

because razors are sharp

And yet they never actually point at your skin. Until you hit an uneven surface, bump, or press down harder to try for a closer shave.

I'm becoming increasingly hesitant to start shaving.
