Ah I'm scared of those types I feel like they lead to those permanent hair dots? On your face that make it seem like you can never shave close enough. Idk if that makes sense to you lol. In a perfect world I'd get a straight or safety razor kit from birchbox that site has some sweet gear.

Okay I am gonna follow that step by step tomorrow and see if it works anything that least me without visible stubble for more than a day after shaving is a success! Thank you and well i didn't know if it would have been appropriate or not :\

Ok, well, I used to be a guy on T, so I have a fair bit of experience with scraping the mung off my face.
Here's the razor:

the blades (fairly cost efective):

the brush:

easy to use shaving cream:

The disposables are ok, but if you want a close shave, you should use a safety razor. Don't be fooled by the "safety" part. You can cut yourself pretty good with one of those, but compared to a straight razor, they are quite safe. I use (still, unfortunately) a three pass shave, once with the direction of hair, once opposite, and once across. So that would be do a complete shave each time, different direction. Don't press, let the razor glide on you skin. It takes some practice to get the correct blade angle.

I use this as an aftershave:

and often I follow that with a facial lotion.

hope this helps a bit,

hugs
