Thread: Shaving mustache and goatee

Just to clarify, this is a question about shaving off the mustache and goatee, not leaving a mustache and goatee.

I was wondering if you guys found a particular size/type of razor that works better for this area. The reason I'm asking is because I only have facial hair there, and was wondering if a particular razor type would be best for me. Thanks.

Anything will do you fine. I have the most fun with a 6/8 or 7/8 especially with a few days growth. If your growth is light you could be equally comfortable with a 3/8 as a 7/8. It'll come down to your preference.

Are you looking to buy, or do you have a razor? I have a murk Solinger blade that is very small and thin, works well for trim ups that I found. It depends on what you want

I would recommend a 4/8 or even a 3/8 razor for light facial hair. just my .02

Any suggestions on technique? The area under the nose isn't that big, so how do you get the razor in there? Especially right under the nostrils where all my strongest hair likes to grow quickly.

And the chin, I guess you move through the angles carefully? It's a curved surface, so I can't see a stroke you could get away with on your cheek working here.
