Best Shaver for the face?

[heatherrae]

Well, I use men's shave gel on my legs pretty often. Once again, I like the fusion gel, but I don't think there is a huge difference beween brands. Just get the kind that is gel form and then goes white instead of the old fashioned kind that comes out of the can white. I use the battery powered fusion on my legs. It is way better than the Gillete sensor that I used to swear by.

Also, my face has always had acne problems. So it is sensitive. I have it under control right now, but I am worried about the bumps and possible ingrown hairs, etc. Any tricks?

I shave against the grain first, then with the grain after.

If you have sensitive skin, try using a shave gel/cream with Aloe in it, heard it helps.

i use gillette "clean" or "sensative skin" shave gel.

Good move on not getting an electric. I only use my electric when my hair is real long before i use the blade to finish up.
Shaving creame on my face seems to be all the same, when your hairs long just use a bit extra. I have pretty thick hair too, so any creame will do, i spend cheap on shaving creame and buy some extra tuna.
One thing that i have noticed is i sometimes have tiny breakouts when i dont shave for a while, i actually think it works well at exfoliating(sp?) and never breakout when i am constantly shaving.
Shave with the grain first then against if your face is sensitive. Good Luck

I just picked up one of these sets in vegas:

I grabbed the set for sensitive skin and I went with a softer brush than the one in the kit. Its working really well so far and I have been shaving more often now and with less razor burn.

gillette fusion electric and non electric for the most superior shave. i have the toughest beard to shave with very sensitive skin and it works great.
