What's the best method, to get a straight, clean shave like Donald?
Seriously, I am 29 and my beard grows fast enough to finally shave it every morning. I use safety razors, but after shaving wet, my upper lip feels numb. Would you recommend to switch from manual to electric?

The only way to shave is with the original straight razor. Takes some cash, takes some skill, but nothing good comes fast or free.

My grandfather exclusively used an electric razor.
I tried it once. Felt like tiny teeth ripping the hair out of my face. I'll stick with whatever six hundred bladed moron stick they sell me at the wal-mart.

He shaves right before going out, on his plane or at a hotel.
Just like women have makeup sessions at every intermission

I was thinking about buying one, but don't want to hack my face up trying to master the skill especially since I interact with people all day.

that does nothing to stop hair growth :<
this isn't remotely fucking /pol/-related

You should shave straight after a hot shower, or at least after applying a hot towel on your face to soften the hair.
Before applying shaving cream (should always have 0% alcohol), you should apply baby oil - not only does it give it a better shave, but it preserves your razor blades too.

Notice that I used the word "apply" 3 times.

I just use a double-edge safety razor with shaving cream. It works great, especially when you let your beard grow a bit because its way easier to rinse than a multi-blade disposable razor. DE safety razors require you to actually clean your razor, but its just a rinse and wipe down.
You could try a straight razor, they're a little more expensive and you have to do full knife maintenance including honing.

Never use multiple blades. The shaving market is basically cartel and monopoly owned by Gilette. It's really hard to find proper shaving information without going through forums.

Don't buy one, they suck and if you don't sharpen them right you'll fuck your face up. Double edge razor is best.
I use a safety razor, but while it works fine for most of my face, I find that if I use it on my upper lip, lower lip or chin I break out in spots. What's up with that?
Maybe he's like me and he doesn't grow a beard. Never saw him with stubble

Fresh new blade every moring

Shave with the grain? Wash after you've finished? I haven't had this since I was 15
>that extra close shave after letting it grow for one or two days
>>80490666
That means you're doing it wrong.

You're cutting against the grain of your hair in those areas.
Next time you shave pay attention to which direction your hairs naturally grow and cut with the grain. Different areas of the face can have different grains
he's a fuckin billionaire, probably has some barber do it for him

Nah, I'm not though. The rest of my face gets once go with the grain, one against and it's perfect. But I've always been very careful to go with the grain around my mouth. I avoid my chin anyway because it's a bit swirly, it's impossible to go with the grain there.

It turns out they got removed from Kickstarter? I don't want to get lip cancer or something
Electric shavers never shave down to 0,0mm, just because the shaveing foil between the blades and your skin. A classic wet shave is the cleanest you can get, no matter if knive, safety rasors or even a good system shaver (probably the most gentle method for your skin of all wet methods). First do one shave with the gran, than foam again, do one in 90 degree to the grain , foam again and then do finally a shave completely against the grain. Works better after a hot shover, with quality shaving cream- or soap and when a pre shave oil is used. Ich hoffe ich konnte helfen.
Not /pol/ but I'll help you because I had the same issue.
Something people don't know about barbers is that they're very adept at making beard maps. Basically people always tell you to shave with the grain, but most people don't know their grain very well. So first step, Google beard map.
Next, several consecutive passes are required for a close shave, only some people can get a close shave with one. These consecutive passes are often at an angle with respect to the grain, not along it.
Most shaving creams and oils are snake oil, shaving is 90% technique. A good barber will give you a closer shave with a Gillette and some common foam than you'll get with the best equipment.
And finally, there are different shaving techniques. Blade buffing is easy and very useful for a third final pass.
