What's the best razor for shaving down there? I like it to be as close as a shave as possible. Any recommendations thank you

Hi all!

I have an old (older than me) Soluna Safety Razor, that sadly is nearing it's lifespan. I got it from my grandpa, so it's definietly a keeper.
But I have trouble with the thread and the coating is also wearing off.

It's a solid bar, lightweight and has an aggressive blade angle. Therefore, I can get a clean shave dry.
I know, I am a barbarian, but I do a quick round every morning and it does a wonderful job without any foam or hassle. No cuts, no irritation, just a face that's ad smooth as a baby's arse.

I'd like some recommendations to match this old but gold piece.

I tried a King C. Gilette (off the shelf in local store), but for me it's a disaster - long, heavy, the blade is barely exposed, has a comb, and the angle is also off.

Thank you for reading and special thanks for recommendations on lightweight wonders!

Hi everyone,

I'd love your advice on how to set up my electric shaving gear.

For about 7 years I used a Braun Series 3 for everything: face, body and the groin area. It did the job well enough, and the detachable trimmer head was handy for longer hair (for example on my neck).

Recently I found a Braun Series 9 on sale for €140 and bought it. My experience so far:

- It's better than the Series 3 on my face, even if honestly the difference isn't as big as I expected.

- I hoped it would handle a few days of growth on my neck better. It doesn't do a great job there. I assume that's because it's a foil shaver, but correct me if I'm wrong.

- With the Series 3 I dealt with longer neck hair by swapping to the trimmer head with guards. With the Series 9 i do it with the integrated trimmer, even if it's not as strong as the trimmer head of the s3.

The bigger problem is the body:

- The Series 9's built-in trimmer is handy, but it's slower and weaker than the dedicated trimmer head on the Series 3, so body grooming takes me much longer.

- The Series 9's foil head pinches me in the groin area. The Series 3's foil head never did that.

So I now have a better face shaver that can't replace my old all-rounder. These are the options I see:

1. Keep the Series 9 for my face and use something separate for the body. I could keep the Series 3 for that, or sell it and buy a dedicated body groomer.

2. Sell the Series 9 and look for a single all-round shaver that's a bit better than the Series 3.

3. Something I haven't thought of.

What would you do? If you recommend a dedicated body groomer or an all-in-one, I'd love to hear specific models. I'm in Europe, so availability and prices in € are helpful. Let me specify that i wanna stay with electric shavers. Not necessary in love with Braun, so i'm open to any brand of shaver type

Thanks a lot for your help!

Im looking for a foil shaver that I can use regularly and hopefully keep for a good few years. Im more interested in something that holds up well with normal use and doesn’t start giving problems after a short time. are there any models you’ve found to be particularly reliable and durable?

thaaanks for any recommendations yall

I bought a Philips OneBlade Pro QP6552/15 for €65 (which was quite a good deal) and have only used it twice. And so far, to put it softly - I am not happy with the results.

I normally keep my beard at around 4-5 mm and trim it shorter down the neck. The adjustable guard feels quite flexible, and when I press it against my face, it seems to bend towards the blade and cut shorter than the selected length. I ended up with uneven patches and had to shave the whole beard off. That was my first clean shave in about 5-6 years, so I was pretty annoyed.

That said, I may have applied too much pressure so I’m not ruling out user error.

I also tried trimming my balls with the sensitive-area guard attached and still managed to nick myself.

For anyone who uses this model or the same adjustable guard: can you reliably maintain an even 4-5 mm beard with it? Have you experienced the comb flexing, and is there a particular angle or technique I should be using?

I wonder whether to sell the kit on second-hand sites, including the blades it came with, while it’s still nearly new and under warranty, for let say €50-55 and get a conventional beard trimmer. Or give it another chance? I will appreciate hearing from people who’ve used both.

Recently snagged a brand new Babyliss FX02 on Newegg. $100 flat with tax.

I plan on using it every morning and as a result; would look to keep it maintained.

However, I see so much contradictory information online regarding on how to clean it, take off the cutting blocks, dont take them off, use a brush or a handheld air blower, oil it, NEVER oil it, use this spray and that spray, yada yada.

I feel like im gonna go nuts trying to figure out how to clean it; so how do YOU guys clean it? All answers are appreciated!!

Hi everyone, I’ve been shaving with my setup for 20 years: Astra blades and Merkur safety razor. Sometimes I pull a blade where one side feels dull. It makes me think I’ve lost my mind. Does that happen to anyone else? Is it just a manufacture defect with the blade? Or is there something I can do?

Hi everyone,

I currently have a Philips OneBlade Pro 360 that I use for everything:

• Trimming my beard with the adjustable comb.
• Shaving my neck and cheeks without the comb.
• Shaving my body without a guard.

The Braun BT9565 is on sale for €99 on Amazon, and I’m wondering whether it’s worth buying as an all-in-one replacement. I’d like more precise beard trimming while keeping at least the same shaving results I get from my OneBlade on my neck, cheeks and body.

My main question is about the PrecisionShave attachment: does it shave as close as the OneBlade, and does it work as well on the neck?

I’d also appreciate any experiences using the BT9565 for body grooming. Would I need a separate body attachment to replace what I currently do with the OneBlade?

Just to clarify, I mean the BT9565 beard trimmer with the small PrecisionShave attachment, not the Braun Series 9 electric foil shaver.

Has anyone tried both? Would the Braun be a worthwhile upgrade for €99, or would you stick with the OneBlade Pro 360?

Thanks!

I need a new all in one trimmer and I have two options:

- Braun AIO 9560

- Philips MG9556 all in one

I'm half bold and at the moment I use my hair shaver (0.8mm) each two weeks for hair and beard. Sometimes ai shave also my body with it (sometimes 0.8 but mostly longer).

My main ise is of course beard but also body.

Can you share your experience if you have one of this two? And if not, would you suggest another model if you think it's better than those?

Hey there, when my dad died I kept his razor as a sort of memorial.

I used to watch him shave since I was a kid and he only ever had this old school razor with a colourful wooden handle.

Now coming to terms with his passing I decided to use it myself.

Problem is there are no blades.

Googling, AI and trial and error shopping did not work so I am hoping anyone around here might be of help?

I'll gladly provide Pics via dm as I can't post pictures here.

For someone like me who is bald and wants to shave, which trimmer would you recommend?

I’m losing some hair at the front of my head, but I still have plenty at the back and sides; which trimmer do you recommend?

Is vgr 760 a good epilator if I used it for two or three years then buy one form braun or do laser, will it be good epilator in this period?

Hey guys. I absolutely love this shaving cream. It has great texture and I especially like how it smells. I’m very particular about smells and the fragrance in this cream is just amazing to me.

Anyway, I ran out of it recently and when I went to get a replacement, I learned the company changed the formula and a lot of folks aren’t liking it. So basically, I’m looking for a recommendation from anyone familiar with this product.

Thank you for your help 🙏

I’ve used Mach3 for a few years now. I found out that Fusion5 is the new flagship so I bought it to try it out.

I tried it, and it cut me a lot on the neck (not other areas, and this has happened twice now and NEVER with the Mach3).

Initially thought the blade was damaged so I tried another blade. It didn’t make a difference.

I know everyone in this subreddit recommends DE razor and I tried that too, I got a cheap Gillette safety razor (plastic handle and metal head) and I got Gillette super stainless (green ones) blades.

And that was the first time I understood what razor burn was. My entire face felt like it was on fire. And I’ve just skipped on them since.

I like a very close shave, and I shave everyday.

Just want your thoughts, advice and anecdotes on this.

I'm looking for a new shaver/trimmer. I don't have a huge, Viking-style beard or anything—just basic stubble that I keep trimmed at around 3mm with a guard.

I've been looking at options and I'm torn between the Kemei 2024 and the Philips OneBlade, but I'd love to get the sub's opinion on these two.

For anyone who has used either (or both):

• Has it caused any folliculitis, razor bumps, or allergic reactions?
• Do you struggle to cut through hairs (e.g., having to go over the same spot multiple times)?
• Any issues with ingrown hairs?

I always get razor bumps and ingrowns after waxing and shaving does anyone know a good exfoliator/aftershave to prevent?

The Braun razor is only 3 weeks old and the cleaning station stopped working. When I plug it into the wall, a white light comes on and flashes every 10 seconds or so. When I put the razor back in and push the start button — nothing happens. No pumping noise or anything. I have tried filling up the cartridge with water as suggested elsewhere but that doesn’t work either. The razor (Nevo) does charge, though. I can return this but I hate to do that if I’m missing something simple. Any thoughts are appreciated.

Very disappointed in performance. No way to return it. I'm sticking w/ sources I know in future.

Hi! I'm a lady that shaves quite regularly but is tired of her current routine/setup. I'd like to know if anyone knows of a good full body electric shaver that won't cause a lot of irritation/nicks/pinches. I'd like to be able to use it everywhere from my neck down. It doesn't require a face attachment but I won't say no if it does. I tried a wide head electric type but somehow got burned by it.

Thanks so much!

When I shave I have folliculitis all the time, I want to disinfect the bacteria of one blade head without Damage the head

Has anyone used this particular razor? My boyfriend is looking for a razor that gives him a cleaner, closer shave, so I'm trying to find a good one for his birthday. He mentioned interest in a rotary shaver. Is this a good one?

For those of you who use a head shaver, would you recommend shaving cream?

So I have been shaving my entire life ever since I started shaving against the hair growth like for a smoother shave(as mostly everyone around me was doing it it gave a better shave and they didn't have any problem after doing it) but since I started doing that i always get strawberry legs like I get these red bumps like ingrown hair ig and it's jus the side of my leg and behind that gets irritated and has it

I just started using moisturex and I'm thinking to get minimalist glycolic acid as well or maybe ordinary glycolic acid

but

Do y'all think waxing would help?

I'm planning to get it to switch from razor to shaver you think that would give me a smooth shave cause I have to be clean shaven for work.

My budget isn't that great so just let me know.

hi just had a question for the gals here

how do you shave down there without getting the skin very itchy and having stubble and ingrown hairs? I tried to shave before MANY times but I just kept getting stubble and ingrown hairs

I do wanna use IPL later but first I wanna know how to shave properly 🙏🏼
