Stick with one of the disposable blades,.. prefferably, the more expensive kind with the gel strips. ONLY USE IT ONCE!!!
Make sure you do the whole opening up the pores thingy...
after you're done there should be some ingrown hairs that you need to get rid of with a sewing needle. After you let loose them hairs,.. do a once over with the blade again. Dry thoroughly and DO NOT USE AFTER SHAVE!! I saw a special on tv regarding razor burns and ingrown hair!!
It said to splack on some cocoa butter instead and leave overnight.
Oh,.. and I prefer to shave at night,.. cause it gives my face time to calm down, before taking it out in the sun/ heat/dust, etc...

Any advice for me guys? since that happened, i just use my attachment on my electric shaver so it dosent cut that close at all so i dont have to worry about it. But i want to shave close. do you think if i keep shaving close my face will eventually get used to it?
