At least they own their own factory.

Use a safety razor, they said. It's more healthy for your skin, I read.

Something about washing your shit before you shave...

Looks like you held the razor backwards.

I still don't know what I did wrong. It's been suggested that it was because I left the soap lid closed.

Safety razors are the cast iron pans of personal hygiene. There's a vocal sect of devout users, each with their own hoop jumping routine for making the system work well.

I don't know either but I do understand dermatitis on some level

I'm not sure what contaminated what or what non comodegenic product you used, but something caused a reaction

I always shave right after a shower to minimize risk

For me, I can't grow a beard. Looks spotty as shit. Makes me look like a try hard. LOL

Try being Japanese. I've probably bought 5 new razors in my entire life. 54 years. If I don't shave, in about a year it looks like a layer of dirt. It used to bother me, not being able to grow anything but a cop moustache, but now, it's a relief to not have to mess with it.

I think I'll try out those Dorco next time I need to reload. Always shaved with Gillette Fusion, each new cartridge style gets more and more expensive, but they do get better. I always just buy the bulk pack from Costco.

Curious what your shaving styles are? Do you shave with the grain or against the grain? I've only ever shaved against the grain, shaves right down to the skin baby smooth, and I shave every other day. Seems like most people shave with the grain which I don't know how or why since I can't seem to get the hair off that way.

4 swipes. One with, one against, one across, the last across the other way.

I have to shave because I can't grow decent facial hair; I look like an awkward 14 year old kid trying to look like a badass. But, for better or worse, I have so little of it that one razor can last me the better part of a year (wash out the hairs with an old toothbrush, strop across jeans and I'm good for a while). Slowly working my way through a batch of Schick Hydro 5's I got for free.

Half Filipino here bro, I feel your pain.
