I just managed to wet shave with no nicks or cuts whatsoever!

ETA: It was only about the 8th time I was shaving wet. My electric razor is slowly packing up so if I want to look particularly nice, I shave wet.

Excellent. Have you tried rubbing in moisturiser 10 minutes before shaving? It really works.

No, but I'll keep that in mind.

Well done!
Since falling off my bicycle at age 6 and scarring my jaw, shaving without any nicks or cuts is a rare occurrance for me, so I appreciate your victory!

No, a Gillette Mach3

3 years in the army and I still couldn't manage it! Mind you my father would have been shaving every morning for over 40 years and he still nicked himself every time more or less.

Must be a family thing.

When I was in the army I used a cut-throat razor- actually, I used it for a couple of years, and it works fairly well.


Washing your face with very hot water & soap, then massaging it with shaving oil before taking a shower & then using shaving cream & a brush to work up a good lather after the shower works well for shaving. It allows the skin to wake up & relax a bit before being attacked by sharpened steel, & it softens the beard bristles
