Oh and by acne I mean really broken out all over the face. Chapped skin as str8 shaving can lead to irritation of the skin.
People should also be discouraged from a str8 shave if they have a lot of visible pustules of ingrown hairs. Again this falls into the too much blood category, not to mention irritation.
