Thread: Fred Flintstone

So I am still a newbie, been using a straight since mid-December. I am getting the hang of it, enjoying the snot out of it, and getting really close shaves.

My problem is my face. I have always had this problem, even back in my disposable days,and I don't know if there is anything that I could do about it. This morning I had a really good shave. Truly BBS,even ATG. And yet, I still look like I have a 5 o'clock shadow in the goatee area, where my beard is thickest. I always look like Fred Flintstone.

Aside from breaking out the wife's makeup case, does anyone have any suggestions?

That's very common for men with dark beards, especially if they have a fair complexion. I get the after-shave shadow too. It's just the way it is, and there's really nothing you can do short of caking your face with coverup.

Me too, even when I get the closest shave possible, which is often with a straight. It's a reminder that I am 100% man.

Amen, I always have a upper lip, lower lip, and chin shadow no matter what is used. It just doesn't change that way sometimes

I have the answer for you.

For a small fee I'll send you some of our instant aging formula while will advance your total body age to about 65 and then your beard will be grey and the problem will go away.

Ready to use it? The results are irreversible by the way. However you get to apply for medicare and social security.

Thanks, bigspendur, but I'll pass

That's happening altogether too quickly all by itself!

I get that.
This video sums it up pretty well!
