How do you get a smooth shave without going against the grain? When I go with the grain, I don't cut myself but there's always some hair left. When I go against the grain I get all the hair but often cut myself. Using a safety razor because it's cheap.
Spend more money on a quality razor+foam.
Or buy top teir electric razor.
this won't solve your problem, but it could help
make sure your pubes are really soft before you shave. (if you have a vagina, i know this isn't the Best Idea but if you're careful you'll be fine) find some gentle conditioner and put it on your pubes, let it sit for awhile, then shave

I'm talking about shaving my face but thanks.

Any recommendation on the shaving cream?

my bad but it could still work homie
Try shaving across the grain. Are you pulling the skin tight? That helps get stubble. What part of your face? I can't go against the grain on parts of my neck. The angle is just too weird even when I try and use no pressure

Upper lip, mouth area, and neck/bottom of my chin are the big problem areas.
Why not just use disposables? They're dirt cheap if you live in america. Something to the tone of like 100-200 for $3.

Do both. First pass go with the grain. Second pass go against the grain. Third pass go laterally.

I tried them and really didn't like them.
>>17236529
That's pretty much what I'm doing. I don't try going against the grain until the hair is already very short.

What did you dislike about them?
I really like them. You don't even have to buy shaving cream, since most of them have glide strips that will lubricate the area on the first pass if you angle the razor. Not to mention, you can usually get 3-4 uses out of a single razor. That's like 3 years worth of shaving for almost nothing. It'd be more difficult to cut yourself than with a safety razor, too.

They didn't seem to be as effect at shaving and I found myself cutting myself more often than I did with cartridge razors. I tried a safety razor and after a bit of practice it's working about as well (and cutting me equally as often) as the cartridge razors, but for much cheaper.

By safety razor are you referring to a traditional double edged razor or something like a mach 3?

I'm not really talking about cartridge razors though, those are a complete scam.
I'm talking about the solid plastic cheap looking pieces of shit. They look absolutely hobo as fuck, but they work a hell of a lot better than the cartridge razors.
It's only got two blades, so it cuts a lot closer.

I forgot I was going to post a pic

I know that. I'm talking about those because that was what I was using before I tried the disposable ones. The disposables were worse.

Double edged.
I just use a razor and lightly press it against my skin, then kind of forcefully press in while going really quickly up and down my face, no shaving gel, just warm water.
Do people usually use shaving gel? The fuck? It's not that hard to avoid cutting yourself.
