Recommed me a razor please!
Discussion
As i write this, i sit with my face stinging like hell with it cut to bits. The razor im currently using is bloody crap and doesnt even get close, never mind near. It leaves a lot of visible stubble no matter how hard i press but yet it cuts me really badly. I also have a braun electric razor but for some reason after using that within a day or two i will have a load of little yellow spots around my mouth and chin. So i either cut myself to shreads and look an idiot that way or have loads of spots 
The one i use is the vibrating gilette fusion one.
So, can anyone recommend a razor that gets quite close without ripping half your face off please?!?

I cant help but wonder if im doing something wrong. Whilst never being shown how to shave i dont think i do anything fundementally wrong. After all its not exactly much of a skill.
If i even attempt to shave against the way the hair grows, my skin just cuts open so doing that is a no no. And just shaving with the way the hair grows without any pressure also results in cuts. Perhaps its just the way my skin is.

Good heads up - not heard of this. Their "software" (as they call them) products are great so I'll be looking into their razors now too.better than the mach 3 in my opinion.

No cuts, or irritation, which is a great escape from the Mach 3 which never cut me, but drove my skin insane with stubble rash, regardless of what product I used with it.
I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion. 
Oh, and make sure you change blades often; I find the Fusion (best razor I've found) blades go 'off' annoyingly quickly.

Don't press. I have to concentrate on not trying to shave too fast. Just let the razor glide over your skin with almost no pressure; if it takes several passes to clear a given area, then so be it.If i even attempt to shave against the way the hair grows, my skin just cuts open so doing that is a no no.

FFS! poofs! Shaving is only for when someone else says you look a bit scruffy, and you happen to agree with them. Does not happen often, in a decent heterosexual lifestyle. About as rare as a black President. skinner05 said:

I use a Merkur with a soap dish and brush. Very good, clean, even shave and the blades cost about £3 for 10.
Are you mental? have you actualy read his first post? The guy would look like John Meric if he ever went near a merkur.I never ever suffered from razor burn for 15 odd years until I bought one of those. Jesus crist it took me months to recover.
I agree with the brush and soap dish well I actual prefer this now.
. the men-u shave is the best Ive tried.

Shaving is for when a beautiful woman won't let you near her until you do, as the things she wants you to do to her would be uncomfortable with stubble (not hers!)
