Thread: Thick facial hair.

I've been on a beard prep kick the last few weeks and have been pretty pleased with the results. I tend to give little thought to prepping my moustache area, and always have a little more stinging there with the aftershave than the rest of my face. Now that I'm thinking about it, my advice to both of us is to really focus on massaging water into that area. Try a shave oil or hot-towel over lather treatment for your moustache. Massage in the lather with your fingers for a bit before attacking.

Just some things I would try for the same issues (which aren't bad for me, but I do experience less-than-perfect results there as well, so I will be trying these things myself over the next few days).

Also, make sure you're stretching your lip down over your top teeth to get the best flat surface possible for the blade to slide over. Do that, with some good beard prep getting lots of moisture and steam into the whiskers before shaving, you'll see a marked improvement over your current results.
