Men how best do you find to shave with a weeks growth of beard?

I have preety sensitive skin when it comes to shaving and razor burn can be quite bad,also normly after a few days growth i find the razor tugs quite hard even with a brand new good blade and good shave gel/cream or foam.


I have never let my beard grow for a week and want to know the best motheds you use to soften the hair up to get a better shave when it's this long?

I think you should grow it out.....
Reply:The best way I have found is to put hot wet towels over your beard for several minutes, this will soften the hair %26amp; make it nice %26amp; easy after you apply your favorite shaving gel

Reply:First, you should only shave with a razor after you have showered. The time in the shower will soften the hairs on your face. you can also buy shaving creams that help with razor bumps. Also, after you shave wash your face with cold water. that will help reduce irritation and close the pores.
Reply:I just get some shaving cream and one of those cheap blue 50Cent razors that usually last for about a week. Then afterwards I put on vasaline to sooth my skin before it starts to get iritiating
Reply:i find it best to use a beard trimmer withouth the sizer on, trim the groath, then using hot water (as hot as your hands can stand) splash over your face, then using shaving gell, shave as normal, by trimming with the beard trimmer first you have stoped your blade from becoming blunt and clogged with hair, you wont rip your face to bits using this method,
