Well, I tried the foil and it delivered, after a laborious effort on my part, a shave on par with my customary with-then-across-the-grain shave...
After that I took a fresh new blade and lathered up, re-shaved, going ATG at the end - and again, incredible resistance, pain and blood.
This is bothering me so much!
--Previous Message-- : I am just realizing that you posted other : questions which I can answer. Actually I : had a very cheap foil razor which used two : triple A batteries! I think it costs around : ten dollars. It surprisingly gave quite a : good shave!! Again, when new. You know : what they say about new brooms sweeping : clean, etc.. Therefore, regarding the : matter of flash between the foil shavers, as : a primary difference, you are most likely : correct. Shaving dry or with lube...I found : using Williams Lectric Shave to be helpful : by preventing irritation and redness, Used : this when possible. Most times, however, I : went dry and used a moisturizer upon arrival : to my office. Hope this helps. : : With Highest Regards : : --Previous Message-- : I'm experimenting with these shavers - hate : the rotaries - as I've always found them to : be good performers. And here's why: : : They give me the closest shave without : ingrowns. : : I really don't enjoy shaving with them : because it takes forever and is a nuisance, : but I get BBS eventually and never an : ingrown. : : My question is this: Is there any : significant difference between expensive : foil electrics and inexpensive ones - other : than flash? : : I haven't tried an expensive one in ages, : but the 10 dollar drugstore variety do a : capable job. : : What do you guys know about this? : : Secondly is it best to shave on dry, freshly : cleansed skin, or slightly lubed skin? : : : : : : : : : :
