    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).

      You can’t get a close shave even when going against the grain with an aggressive razor? Damn

        Yup, and if I do manage, I can only do it every other day without destroying my face.

        If I could grow a mustache, I’d let it all grow out, but the only part of my stache that grows in full is the Hitler stache.

      Ooh I think that’s the same reason my hair refuses to shave with anything, I should try one of the foil ones

        I use the Arc 5, but I recommend going with the 3 to start. The cartridge on the 5 is just really fucking big.
