Worried about ingrown hairs
Hi,
I've been looking into this straight razor thing for a little bit now and am thinking about getting one but I was wondering about a few things. I havent actually be clean shaven for about 4 years now. I would get in grown hairs and acne all the time, especially on my jaw line, when I used to shave with a safety razor but my dermatologist said i couldnt shave with a razor anymore. Now I just use a beard trimmer and have a permanent 5 o'clock shadow. From what I've read it seems a straight razor doesnt give you the skin problems that safety razors do...I was wondering if anyone has had a similar experience and can vouche for the clear skin. Also, I have some scarring leftover as well as the occasional pimple which im worried will get all cut up if I use a straight razor, should I be worried about that at all?
thanks for the help
