I'm not trans, but looking to save y'all some money. Stop buying those expensive cartridge razors and invest in a nice safety razor. The razors are dirt cheap and the cut is damn close to a cartridge cut. I'll never go back to Gillette again!
I'm ignorant, are you more prone to accidental cuts? How is it with razor burn and ingrown hairs around, you know, sensitive areas?
to help with razor burn, sanitize your razor with 70% rubbing alcohol
I was more prone for my first few shaves as my skin adjusted to the different blade, but I don't really get cuts anymore unless I reuse the blade too many times. If you get a decent safety razor you can adjust the angle of the blade for your preferred comfort. I haven't noticed any more ingrown hairs vs a cartridge razor.
If your hair growth pattern allows for it. I'm not trans either, but my facial hair grows almost parallel to my skin, and after 5 years of trying a dozen different razors, two dozen different blades, and watching all the videos and trying different angles, I can't get a close shave with one.
The closest I've gotten was the Leaf razor which is similar to a cartridge razor but with half DE blades. Even with that I could only get a close shave every other day.
The only thing I've found that works is an electric foil shaver (Panasonic Arc to be specific).
Ooh I think that's the same reason my hair refuses to shave with anything, I should try one of the foil ones
Strictly better, if you get gud.
