Hi, ive been part of this forum for a while, but seem to have forgot about it due to moving, im 32 happily married with 2 kids, 7 & 11. anyway, i always wanted fresh barber shop shave, its on my bucket list. besides that ive been shaving since i was 12, and out of those 20 yrs have never got a good shave, ive tried just about every type of razor and cream i can find, as soon as a new one came out, it would be on the sink. so ive decided to go back in age, one of my X-mas gifts is a safety razors, a (Merkur Model 180 Long Handle) to bad i wont get it till and be able to use it till then. but i did some research and that seemed to be a good start. the last razor i have to try would be a straight, but im to nervous to go for that! i guess i just dont know what im doing, heck 20yrs and every way? i feel like a kid again. asking for assistance, as to whats wrong, the worst part is the bottom throat area, no matter what i do, it breaks out, to a bumpy irritated shave?
