    Default Need some tips on Ds and shaving

    Ds is 15. He has been using various disposable razors, but he is always has a lot of stuble. I have no idea about this stuff, so I am counting on you all to help me help him. I am not sure if he needs a different razor, different technique, etc. Thanks!

    Mine has an electric. He has tried his dads but I think this is the one he likes best https://www.usa.philips.com/c-m-pe/o...edge-and-shave

    Does he have stubble as soon as he finishes shaving or a bit later? DH has five o'clock shadow about 2 hours after shaving because that's just how fast his grows. If it's as soon as he finishes, you might want to see what he's doing. If he's nervous about it touching him/cutting himself, he might not be getting a clean cut.

    But, I'm with PP who made sure DS had an electric.

    Thanks for the info. I will look into electric. Any preferred model info would be appreciated. SnuggleBuggles, is it the OneBlade razor? The link goes several different products, but I am thinking this is the one you mean?

    The below is an interesting thought. His hair does grow pretty quickly, so I will have to ask/find out if he is more clean shaven and it just grows that quickly.

    Oops! yes, the One Blade. Easy to find at a lot of stores, which is helpful for when you need new heads.

    DS is 15, I got him a Harry's set last year, it was on promo, so he got a blade holder, two blades and shaving cream. It's a nice quality blade and reasonable, he hasn't had any difficulty shaving, and it's better than a disposible one. Check online for a promo code.
