I haven't shaved in 4-5 years. Not long by hippy standards, but longer than most "normal" people.

really? it's what they used to uise... read that article for sure... I'd say get a brush and some of that shaving cream that goes with it... and MAYBE the old style double edge razors (it explains why in the article)
i havent shaved in a fw months... but i have to stay clean shaven for work... i've just been waiting for them to realize that i'm one of the 4 people (out of like 70) who NEED to stay clean shaven (for wearing a mask, durring dangerous spill cleanups, that never happen)

I feel your pain brother. Shaving is such a pain in the ass. Sometimes, I used to rip my face up so badly that it looked like I had leprosy.
Here are my suggestions:
1. Develop a two-part shaving system. On one day shave with the Fusion razor and shaving cream. On the next day shave with the electric razor.
2. When your facial hair is getting somewhat pronounced, shave with the razor.
3. When your facial hair is very short (only a day since your last razor shave) shave with the electric razor. Never do a razor shave when your facial hair is real short. You end up ripping up your face.
4. When you shave with the razor, shave in the shower. The warmness makes for a smoother shave.

I get the same shit with razor, tis why I only use the long hair beard trimmer thingy on the electric shavers, as other people have mentioned.
But warm water followed by good shaving cream and some really expensive aftershave helps too.
(Might have to look into this bumpstopper stuff)

That was some good advice. I think i'm gonna have to go and get me a beaver brush. And I always tried to wash my face with warm water before but I'll try too place as much emphasis on this step as they do in that article from now on. I don't think im ready for a double or straight razor though, I'm a fairly careless shaver. I go for speed not precision.
