I’ve been using the Andis T outliner my whole shaving life and literally this week I decided, against my Barber’s advice and my own intuition, to try to use a razor to wet shave; wanted to try something new. I started to feel like under my chin was bruised and sore. ...... Never again lol If anyone else feels like they want a closer shave with the Andis shavers go to a professional blade sharpener (I asked my barber) and get them to sharpener the blade in your electric shaver I think us black men, especially with curly hair, should avoid the razors all together unless it’s the single straight blade
Somehow late to ask this question but did you use any after shave creams or oil after getting your try shave with the trimmer? I'm 18 and i got some facial hair but i dont really wanna use the shaving cream and all that stuffs as i'm afraid of getting Razor Bumps. If you are down, we can chat on Twitter so you can give me more advise if you are willing to, i just need to find out from someone who has really tried it and is black too lol, we black guys dont have it too easy with shaving. I live abroad so i'm mostly surrounded by white guys lmao. Thanks for your time.
The trimmer I use is the wahl razor edge. It just as good as any of the professional grade Andis trimmer. For my head I use Oster fast feed with Speed -O- Guide. I have same shaver as you . One thing to know about the Andis trimmers is that Andis outliner two and Andis T outliner are 10 watts. Where the Andis headliner 2 trimmer from Walmart has same blade as Andis T outliner and is 12 watts. To get the full 12 watts out of the Andis headliner 2 use swap over the cord from Andis T outliner or Andis outliner two. As for the Wahl razor edge you can bump it from 9 watts to 10 watts if you like just make re-line the blades after turning the screw
You are right I just use the andis t-outliner and its close enough for me and no razor bumps. For many years I used those gillette sensor razors and they are horrible for the skin. Now I am trying to get rid of hyperpigmentation that was caused by years of shaving.
@@iblattparty671 I had hyperpigmentation on the sides of my face and underneath my chin and neck area. Razor bumps seems to cause layers of hyperpigmentation . Over the years I have used a product called Tend Skin along with some thing for hyperpigmentation like hydroquinone or Vitamin C. However the only thing that completely cleared my skin and cured hyperpigmented areas is to grown a beard and stop shaving for months at a time. When I do shave to avoid razor bumps I use the t outliner and for a close save without the razor bumps I will go over my face with an Andis foil shaver.
for those one who have super senitive skin like me. shave only with andis t outliner or trimmers that goes very close to dry shave. i tried safety razor and wahl 5 star shaver shaper and both of them give me razor bumps, rushes and its painfull asf during the next days.
To be honest ive watched countless hours of videos and this is the first one where it felt like he was speaking directly to my life i mean literally with the Girlfriends and all haha! great advice im going to try it starting today
thank you for the information. It's always great to hear another person's tried and tested methods of how they groom themself. Especially as a fellow young black (and ethnic) background. Blessings to you sir!
clean your face with baking soda and warm water mix it together paste like form after shaving face do it for like 3 time's a week bumps be gone trust me it works
I've been using these two for over 4 years now. It's not bad. Not perfect, but much better then shaving and other products I've tried. However, I wonder how the Andi's "T-liner" would compare to the relatively new "Philips OneBlade." I've heard great things about the "OneBlade," but I don't want to waste my money if it's not any better then the "T-liner," for brothers like us who are prone to bumps and ingrown hairs.
I have a very tough beard so i use both products shown in this video. I think it’s really bout which way of shaving works for that particular person’s skin. I usually wash my face with soap first b4 i shave. Razor blades, shaving creams do NOT work for me. Back in the day i tried to use a razor blade with cream and it felt smooth for a day or two then the bumps showed up. My barber told me to leave my face alone, grow a beard then try an electric razor haven’t had a bump since.
@@jignaeri9761 I used Gillette many years ago. Now I just use Andis Electric razors with that small one the guy mentioned in the video. No more bumps or problems since.
Andis professional liners used by barbers does not go dull quickly, however you can realign your blade if you find it's not cutting closely which will last many years...
Dry shaved saved me I turned 18 I shave a lot to keep my youthful appearance but I will grow my facial hair eventually just not right now and wet shave was the worst thing I did my mom told I’m not supposed to use razor as black so I switch to t liners the best thing I ever did
I can't use either so i switched to double ege razor with bump patrol shaving cream and bump patrol maximum strength after shave. Works like a charm and at night i use bump stopper. Day time i used coconut oil to keep mybskin moist.
Great information! I've been dry shaving using an Andis clipper for the last couple of years. It does a very good job at bump control, but I've never followed up with a Wahl shaver. I'm ordering one now!

Mark's Mind afterwards I always rinse my face with cold water because it closes your pores then I facial cleanse and rinse with cold water again. And use Diabetic lotion because it really keeps my face moisturized.
Johnny Hustle Based on the ‘men’ I come across during my daily life in Japan who have beards, nothing could be further from the truth. A bunch of beta males who speak with the reasoning of angry feminists. And I’m not talking about Japanese men.
The Wahl shaver gave me razor bumps all over my cheeks. I've never had a razor bump in 10 years until I tried that Wahl shaver. I'll stick with the T-Outliners.
Yeah, I switched to electric shavers about 4 years ago and only use twin blade disposable for mustache area and clean up afterwards and have seen about 50% improvement but still have to use some sort of anit-bump solution....and am just tired and thinking about laser hair removal for my neck and cheeks.
Hi, thank you so much for posting all this detailed information, it's very much appreciated. Can I ask you please, having listened to every step in your process which you outlined, I am a little curious. Because you have admitted that after using each shaving tool you experience a deep burn once you then apply the post shave balm. With your skin them being so reactive, how do you manage to immediately scrub it with an abrasive cloth in the shower?, or do you wait for several hours to pass or the following day before you do that final shower step to exfoliate? Sorry to be picky, but if I follow your lead which I will to some degree, I want to prevent any undue discomfort I may experience if I inadvertently over-expose my skin to abrasive treatments. Thanks very much once again 🙂
Hey! Most of the burn comes from the Andis T-Outliner, and not the Wahl Shaver Shaper because the blades are quite sharp, and I have sensitive skin. Since making this video I stopped using the Andis, and have been using a zero-gapped hair trimmer you can get on Amazon for about $20. They come in black and gold. I started selling them for a while, but the market is saturated with them. The scrubbing in the shower with the nylon cloth is not as bad as you think. I always shower immediately after the dry shave, and I’m fine. Recently I upgraded to the Wahl Finale, still using the sensitive head I buy directly from the Wahl website, and I haven’t been getting bumps. The key is to have sharp blades on your clippers or hair trimmer to get the shave close before you smooth things off with the Wahl. After my shower I use the unscented Vaseline lotion (in the white bottle) to moisturize, and finish off with a vitamin C oil, which really helps with getting rid of the dry ashiness I get on my neck. That is something I buy at the drugstore in Japan. Hope this helps. Key thing is to let all your hair grow out, and don’t shave until all sensitivity is gone. Good luck!
khriseagle I'll update the description with links VERY soon. The cloth link might be difficult because I live in Japan. Another option is to use those course shower gloves.
Good video brotha....I'm gonna subscribe! I use the Wahl G-Whiz trimmer and the Wahl 5-Star trimmer when I shave just like you do.. However....I didn't think of using the SENSITIVE foil on the 5 star trimmer. I've been using the super close foils Lol! Good stuff. I'll have to try that. I don't have alot of bumps at all because I've been using this combo for about 3 yrs now. Under the neck I still get a little irritation which is why I'm going to try those sensitive foils. For face wash I use Dove White bar or the Cetaphil which I just started using. Works great!
Peace to the Homie for this video. I suggest using the Andis Profoil along with the trimmer. It will have you as smooth as a straight razor. Make sure you exfoliate after using.
I have both the Andis Profoil and the Wahl shaver. The Wahl is much better in my opinion. It's simply more powerful and cuts closer. I actually used the Wahl for months first and then bought the Andis later. I was happy with the Wahl but was thinking maybe I could find something better, hence the Andis. Save your money, not even close. Wahl all the way. I just ordered the sensitive attachment though. Hopefully I won't bump anymore at all.
Also, there's two versions of bump patrol, regular and maximum strength. Maximum strength works best for me and goes on clear unlike the regular strength. The regular strength dries to a white milky film on your face. As a result, I only used it at night. The maximum can be used whenever because you can't see it.
Man this is great help and I hope it works for me , but id like to know a few things pleaseee.1) Do u let your beard grow back and if so do u still get razor bumps?2) Do u use the nylon cloth after or b4 shaving?3) Tbh I got way too much questions
Paul Junior Hey man! I sometimes let it grow a little, like over the weekends, and I get no razor bumps. I use the nylon cloth in the shower after I shave. About to go do that now. ☺
no matter what I use I still get bumps. wet/dry, razor/shaver, pre shave pouder/pre shave oil and still bumps all over so in my own words its not about what you use but its about your skin type. even applying pre shave oil that cost £70 still gives bumps. SO NO, this method is not for everyone. You can be white black green or gold but you still get bumps if your skin type is not compatible with shaving.
Maybe consider growing your facial hair out, do the needle work I suggested, keep it tidy with a guard on your trimmer/clipper, and brush it in a downward motion to train the hair. I started selling my own hair trimmer. Check out this video to learn more. Discount code in description. th-cam.com/video/ROPMDYyUw-A/w-d-xo.html
Thanks for your comment, bro. Since putting out this video I’ve started supplying a hair trimmer I now use instead of the Andis. In my opinion I think it’s even better. It’s not as harsh on the skin. I also started using the Wahl hypoallergenic foil instead of the sensitive foil. Both are about the same.
MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN YOUR EQUIPMENT! This method used to never work for me but I started cleaning (andis spray, brushing loose hair) before I shave and now I’m getting positive results. I’m sure I don’t need to clean it after every shave, but I am at least for now I am.
I will try the wahl. The and is profoil used to be the best close shaver to avoid razor bumps. I'd learned, way late, about shaving with the t outliner. I wish I had only ever shaved with it from the start.
Wanted to post links to the products, but seems like they have been selling out FAST. I suspect the people who have been watching this video have been snapping them up fast.
@@neno56527 shaving. But to be honest, it’s not even necessary if you don’t care about your shave being super close. I got this hair trimmer from TEMU recently. It’s cheap, and doesn’t give me bumps even after using the second shaver. share.temu.com/I6ziveRRHKA
I use a braun 9095 and a Panasonic eslv95 they pair well together . I still get burn in the back neck area . Almost forgot to mention I shave my head as well as my face
It will be helpful if you list the steps. First what did you do to get rid of razor bumps at the time they were apparent? Did you just leave it and they went away or did you use anything in conjunction with needles? Also, I am assuming you do nothing before you shave to open your pours etc. Would be helpful if you listed it.
PADDY D I used nothing in conjunction with the needle. My girlfriend just lifted out the hairs over a period of days, and I didn’t shave during that time. When the sensitivity went, I shaved with the andis, and then wahl. I then scrubbed my face in the shower with the nylon cloth. It’s just that simple.
+Mark The Tremor Trainer are the black "lithium" heads okay to use? or should I still stick with the black "sensitive" heads on the foil shaver by wahl?
Was curious, did the super close head give you bumps and burning and is that why you recommend the sensitive foil head ? Does the sensitive head give any bumps?
The super close head definitely gave me bumps. With the the sensitive head it’s not so bad if I move it very gently over my skin. Please check out the description box for a cordless hair trimmer I started selling that comes highly recommended by me.
What is the difference between the 5-Star Series #7031-400 Replacement Foil, #7031-300 Replacement Foil, #7031-200 Replacement Foil and the #7031-100 Replacement Foil?
Mark's Mind OMG you’ve saved my life man.. I’ve never in my WHOLE LIFE felt my face to be this smooth. Thank god im still young and have found what works for me as I have to shave everyday in the military. Lastly, I just need to buy a good cream to start getting rid of the scaring on my neck and I’m set for LIFE lol. What was the cream you recommend to start rubbing on scarring brother? Thank a lot you’ve changed the game for my face and skin.
I'm trying to get away from the razors myself. I've had the Andis Styliner2 for years, but the liners just don't get close enough once you get used to the smoothness that a razor gives.I've tried the rotary shavers and they will bump me too. Recently my brother bought a grooming kit that he wasn't too excited about. It was the Wahl Groomsman Pro. In the package was a small foil shaver head. I tried it once and got a very close shave after trimming everything with the Andis first. Being a smaller shaver that I don't think was meant to be used regularly, I'm thinking about getting a full sized shaver. just can't decide between the Andis Profoil Lithium or the Wahl Finale 5 Star.
They used to be on Amazon, but you can get them directly from the Wahl website. I recently upgraded to the Wahl Finale with the sensitive foil. No bumps. wahl.com
Mark The Tremor Trainer yes I wipe them off with water I even exfoliate and wash my face before shaving and use rubbing alcohol after and I still get bumps from those clippers
Sup Bro! I know this is not a recent upload. If you want to learn how to sharpen your blades on your Andis Outliner blades. See videos on using a sharpening stone.
You’re not going to get it with the sensitive head. You have to buy it separately directly from their website. It used to be on Amazon, but not anymore.
Where can I get the black sensitive foil. I looked in amazon and I can only find a black super close foil. is that the one? I would greatly appreciate it if you can send me the link.
Crazy thing is I skipped over shaving with a razor and tried clippers and they messed me up so bad under my chin and neck area.I tried laser hair removal and feel as if it made it worse with the hyperpigmentation and stuff.I really need some advice
What would you suggest for razor bumps on the back of the head? They come and go. Look like pimples. I bust them just like pimples. I work in a warehouse and also I swear from working and playing sports as well as lifting weights and it feels like it gets bad back there. If you suggest anything I deeply appreciate it.
blaze318318 If your neck bumps come and go it’s probably likely that it has more to do with what your barber uses on your hairline. I’d suggest not having him/her using a straight razor round there. Just use the clippers. Just like I use the needle to flick out the ingrown hairs, I’d suggest that you get your significant other to get them out for you that way.
I’ve been using the Andis T outliner my whole shaving life and literally this week I decided, against my Barber’s advice and my own intuition, to try to use a razor to wet shave; wanted to try something new. I started to feel like under my chin was bruised and sore.
......
Never again lol
If anyone else feels like they want a closer shave with the Andis shavers go to a professional blade sharpener (I asked my barber) and get them to sharpener the blade in your electric shaver
I think us black men, especially with curly hair, should avoid the razors all together unless it’s the single straight blade

Try witch hazel for aftershave and moisturize with jojoba oil or Papaya oil 👍🏽

Jojoba oil is where it's at!

I can vouch for you on this tutorial. I use the same exact clippers and shaver. My barber recommended it about 8yrs ago and I still use them.✌🏽
I use the same trimmers but for the last few months they’ve been giving me razor bumps on my neck. Any tips or suggestions?
@@superiorsounds1637Might need to sharpen the blade or get new ones. Dull blades can push hair back into the follicle instead of making a clean cut.
clean your face with baking soda and warm water mix it together paste like form after shaving face do it for like 3 time's a week bumps be gone trust me it works
Shawnbay King Sounds like something worth trying.
Did you try this? Did it work for you?
Truth you are
You mean apply the paste to your skin after shaving? How long do you leave it on? This prevents folliculitis or treats it?
to stop razor bumps just dont press hard with a blades...barbers clippers dont leave razor bumps either.

I've been rocking that Andis T outliner all my life. no bumps.
The only negative with that outliner is the price for new blades. 30 bucks in Canada 🤬
it gets a pretty close shave right? I want to get as close as possible without a razor or foil or oneblade type thing.

to avoid razor bumps just stay away from razors and use clippers also keep your face moisturized. hence the fact that irritation comes from dry skin.

I have both the Andis Profoil and the Wahl shaver. The Wahl is much better in my opinion. It's simply more powerful and cuts closer. I actually used the Wahl for months first and then bought the Andis later. I was happy with the Wahl but was thinking maybe I could find something better, hence the Andis. Save your money, not even close. Wahl all the way. I just ordered the sensitive attachment though. Hopefully I won't bump anymore at all.
Also, there's two versions of bump patrol, regular and maximum strength. Maximum strength works best for me and goes on clear unlike the regular strength. The regular strength dries to a white milky film on your face. As a result, I only used it at night. The maximum can be used whenever because you can't see it.
Man this is great help and I hope it works for me , but id like to know a few things pleaseee.1) Do u let your beard grow back and if so do u still get razor bumps?2) Do u use the nylon cloth after or b4 shaving?3) Tbh I got way too much questions
Paul Junior Hey man! I sometimes let it grow a little, like over the weekends, and I get no razor bumps. I use the nylon cloth in the shower after I shave. About to go do that now. ☺
no matter what I use I still get bumps. wet/dry, razor/shaver, pre shave pouder/pre shave oil and still bumps all over so in my own words its not about what you use but its about your skin type. even applying pre shave oil that cost £70 still gives bumps. SO NO, this method is not for everyone. You can be white black green or gold but you still get bumps if your skin type is not compatible with shaving.
Maybe consider growing your facial hair out, do the needle work I suggested, keep it tidy with a guard on your trimmer/clipper, and brush it in a downward motion to train the hair. I started selling my own hair trimmer. Check out this video to learn more. Discount code in description. th-cam.com/video/ROPMDYyUw-A/w-d-xo.html
My man, try bump eraser if you haven't yet - game changer for real!
ekso420 I don’t have the bump problem anymore though. Thanks though. ✌🏾
Excellent video. I figured this out by just taking some time. Afterwards I wet shave. I'll look for the sensitive version.
Thanks for your comment, bro. Since putting out this video I’ve started supplying a hair trimmer I now use instead of the Andis. In my opinion I think it’s even better. It’s not as harsh on the skin. I also started using the Wahl hypoallergenic foil instead of the sensitive foil. Both are about the same.
@@MarksMind Thank you very much. You're helping me make a decision 👊🏽
Thanks brother .
You save my shave ..
you can buy a new andis blade at your local beauty supply for about 15 dollars
Have to say that I use tweezers to remove ingrown hair. The add some witch hazel gel which reduces the inflammation. Works for me.
freesportube It's all about doing what works for you.
MAKE SURE YOU CLEAN YOUR EQUIPMENT! This method used to never work for me but I started cleaning (andis spray, brushing loose hair) before I shave and now I’m getting positive results. I’m sure I don’t need to clean it after every shave, but I am at least for now I am.
iceyjf127 Most definitely!
I will try the wahl. The and is profoil used to be the best close shaver to avoid razor bumps. I'd learned, way late, about shaving with the t outliner. I wish I had only ever shaved with it from the start.
very great video ... i'll try your methods hope they work. Thanks again
Jacques Simon My pleasure, Sir!
Thanks for these very needed information. How often do you shave ?
Gabrielle Munroe Sometimes everyday, but during the holidays I might go a few days without shaving.
You can sharpen the blade with Sandpaper.
you don't have to order it on line any hair store has it
My grandfather bought me an Andis profoil shaver yesterday. Shaves so smoothly, my face gets all baby soft.
I use "bump stopper" sh!t is amazing. About 4 bucks at beauty stores.
Great vid straight forward and informative
Thank you!
Wanted to post links to the products, but seems like they have been selling out FAST. I suspect the people who have been watching this video have been snapping them up fast.
Is the second device shaving your hair or depilating it from the root?
@@neno56527 shaving. But to be honest, it’s not even necessary if you don’t care about your shave being super close. I got this hair trimmer from TEMU recently. It’s cheap, and doesn’t give me bumps even after using the second shaver. share.temu.com/I6ziveRRHKA
My gf new task is to remove my grown hairs!
I use a braun 9095 and a Panasonic eslv95 they pair well together . I still get burn in the back neck area . Almost forgot to mention I shave my head as well as my face
I’ve done exactly what you’ve done over the years (girlfriends and all) 🤣
It will be helpful if you list the steps.
First what did you do to get rid of razor bumps at the time they were apparent? Did you just leave it and they went away or did you use anything in conjunction with needles? Also, I am assuming you do nothing before you shave to open your pours etc. Would be helpful if you listed it.
PADDY D I used nothing in conjunction with the needle. My girlfriend just lifted out the hairs over a period of days, and I didn’t shave during that time. When the sensitivity went, I shaved with the andis, and then wahl. I then scrubbed my face in the shower with the nylon cloth. It’s just that simple.
Great Information! Very. Helpful!
great advice bro surely will try it🙌
Jerome Edwards Glad I could help! ✌🏾
+Mark The Tremor Trainer are the black "lithium" heads okay to use? or should I still stick with the black "sensitive" heads on the foil shaver by wahl?
khriseagle Go with the black sensitive. Works well for me.
Have you ever used magic shave? Also how often do you have shave?
I’ve never used it. I shave every day for work, but when I don’t have work I let it grow out for a bit.
This tears my face up I hate it
What do you wash your face with, aside from the nylon cloth? Any liquid cleanser or scrubs?
Toju Ajeks Just my shower gel and then moisturizer.
Was curious, did the super close head give you bumps and burning and is that why you recommend the sensitive foil head ? Does the sensitive head give any bumps?
The super close head definitely gave me bumps. With the the sensitive head it’s not so bad if I move it very gently over my skin. Please check out the description box for a cordless hair trimmer I started selling that comes highly recommended by me.
What is the difference between the 5-Star Series #7031-400 Replacement Foil, #7031-300 Replacement Foil, #7031-200 Replacement Foil and the #7031-100 Replacement Foil?
I couldn't tell you, mate. I use the one that says SENSITIVE.
Thank you.
You’re welcome. ✊🏽
Just ordered all three on amazon. Hope it works!
Deonte frazier 🤞🏾🙏🏾
Mark's Mind OMG you’ve saved my life man.. I’ve never in my WHOLE LIFE felt my face to be this smooth. Thank god im still young and have found what works for me as I have to shave everyday in the military. Lastly, I just need to buy a good cream to start getting rid of the scaring on my neck and I’m set for LIFE lol. What was the cream you recommend to start rubbing on scarring brother? Thank a lot you’ve changed the game for my face and skin.
I'm trying to get away from the razors myself. I've had the Andis Styliner2 for years, but the liners just don't get close enough once you get used to the smoothness that a razor gives.I've tried the rotary shavers and they will bump me too.
Recently my brother bought a grooming kit that he wasn't too excited about. It was the Wahl Groomsman Pro. In the package was a small foil shaver head. I tried it once and got a very close shave after trimming everything with the Andis first. Being a smaller shaver that I don't think was meant to be used regularly, I'm thinking about getting a full sized shaver. just can't decide between the Andis Profoil Lithium or the Wahl Finale 5 Star.
Richard Cranium That small foil attachment that comes with the Groomsman Pro gave me razor bumps as well. Try my method.
Very impressive! Thanks!
Is this good for your head?
THE HOLLYWOOD ROCK I haven’t shaved my head in years, but I’m sure it wouldn’t be a problem.
How often do u shave everyday?
I use 100% tea tree oil on my face and i exfoliate with a scrubber twice a day. I get nasty bumps like crazy if i dont
Where did you get Wahl shaver shaper and the sensitive foil for it? Thanks
They used to be on Amazon, but you can get them directly from the Wahl website. I recently upgraded to the Wahl Finale with the sensitive foil. No bumps. wahl.com
mark i did this combo and got em🤦🏽♂️
Sorry to hear that. Drop the Wahl 5 ⭐️ shaver shaper. That should help.
Should I wet the cloth while in the shower or should I dry scrub my face? Thanks in advance!
Wet with your shower gel/soap.👍
Against grain works best for my skin because my hair is so curly that with grain gives bumps
No go for me lol
Wahl shaver looks exactly the same as older model from the 1990s. White guys can use electric razor, though are more likely to use razor blade.
That's not the T blade.
This may be a stupid question but when you say dry shave do you mean to shave without using shaving cream ?
Joe Yes. Exactly that. ✌🏾
If you go dry shave Andies is what you want. Wet shave i would go with a safety razor.
And what soap with the nylon cloth??
Noxzema helps too
Hey man, are you originally from Jamaica? I can hear it in the accent.
Yeah, man! Born in England, grew up in Jamaica, and then back to England after high school. Now in Japan. Real island boy. 😂
@@MarksMind Respec' bredrin!! Keep up di good work.
I still got bumps from The andis shaver
T-Room Happy New Year, man! Are you disinfecting your blades frequently?
Mark The Tremor Trainer yes I wipe them off with water I even exfoliate and wash my face before shaving and use rubbing alcohol after and I still get bumps from those clippers
T-Room I clean mine with disinfectant spray. Try my needle technique, let your beard grow out and then try again. Good luck!
T-Room Don't use alcohol. Use witch hazel and aloe vera gel. Alcohol tends to irritate certain people's skin.
@@JMadlock108 the hazel is better?
Sup Bro! I know this is not a recent upload. If you want to learn how to sharpen your blades on your Andis Outliner blades. See videos on using a sharpening stone.
Hey! I recently bought a 1 Minute Blade Modifier from The Rich Barber via Amazon.
Coool! I'm familiar with that. Just so you will know...that just modifies the blade and not sharpen.
I have one of those stones as well. Thanks, man!
I see you are on it. Lol! Cool!
What face cream do u use & do u use ot around your beard area too?
I use a Japanese brand. I use it all over. Even on my head because my hair is that short.
I can't seem to find the Wahl professional 5 star shaver with the sensitive head where can I purchase one?
You’re not going to get it with the sensitive head. You have to buy it separately directly from their website. It used to be on Amazon, but not anymore.
Electric shave or outliner cuts closer ?
c J You need to cut down with the Outliner first, and then smoothen off with the 5 Star Shaver Shaper with the sensitive head.
Hi what do you for the clean skin? thanks
Where can I get the black sensitive foil. I looked in amazon and I can only find a black super close foil. is that the one? I would greatly appreciate it if you can send me the link.
dude you use everything I use LOL
did you compare wahl with braun shavers? I am planning for my next electric shaver and your opinion is important.
Ahmed Rezk bruan is better. But I say get wahl or andis
Shave with hair conditioner it's smooth and won't nick.
What moisturizer do you use?
Abigale Albert A cheap Japanese brand. I live in Japan
Crazy thing is I skipped over shaving with a razor and tried clippers and they messed me up so bad under my chin and neck area.I tried laser hair removal and feel as if it made it worse with the hyperpigmentation and stuff.I really need some advice
Try doing what I advised with the needle. I’ve also done a Part 2 to this video. If I remember, I put the link in the description.
does the Wahl 5 star shaver/shaper come with the sensitive skin blade or is it a separate purchase? thanks!
Ivo Teneng It comes separately.
Single blade safety razor is king but we don't always have the time.
Very informative! Thanks!
Great Video! Elijah couldn't find something to get his face so clean shaven. He looks forward to trying this out. Check out our channel!!
What would you suggest for razor bumps on the back of the head? They come and go. Look like pimples. I bust them just like pimples. I work in a warehouse and also I swear from working and playing sports as well as lifting weights and it feels like it gets bad back there. If you suggest anything I deeply appreciate it.
blaze318318 If your neck bumps come and go it’s probably likely that it has more to do with what your barber uses on your hairline. I’d suggest not having him/her using a straight razor round there. Just use the clippers. Just like I use the needle to flick out the ingrown hairs, I’d suggest that you get your significant other to get them out for you that way.
