I have always used a Remmington triple head. I use a Quatro razor in the morning, but then my shaving requirements are a bit more intense. I have to get really, really, really close. I still use my trusty Remington for late afternoon touch ups. Nothing worse than being full time and having little beard hairs start popping up through your foundation. Although my facial hair is very light in color and probably can't be seen unless you get real close, I know it's there. I can feel it.
Don't know about the new ones that have a shaving gel, my guess is keeping the thing in shaving gel will probably cost more than the shaver. A bottle of Lectric Shave works just fine.
When you first start shaving there is going to be a lot of irritation. There are special lotions that are supposed to help with that, and always use some kind of astringent to protect from possible staff infection. All shaving methods are notorious for bacterial collection. Keeping the rotary blades clean is an imperative. Keeps the bacteria down and keeps the blades sharp longer.
Don't worry the irritaion will lessen to some degree but rule of thumb the closer you shave the more you get infection. As far as Noxema goes that stuff never worked so great for me,
others may have had better results. Theses days I just use soap and water followed by a good moisturizer.
Well I've rambled on about shaving long enough. Iv'e probably wandered into the wrong forum zone. Best of luck to you. Andrew, congratulations again on starting your T therapy.
