Thread: better off waxing my face

I've said here before, I've never had luck with the new production Dovo razors, the two I had (one given away), even though honed by separate pro honers, seemed always to leave outright stubble everywhere, patches of stubble, frequently skipped over my face, never had a great shave with one - I have about 100 SR's, and have only had this problem with the new production Dovo's - just my opinion and my experience, but frankly, I'd try any other razor, get an inexpensive one "shave ready" from the Classifieds and give it a try - my bet is it might make most of your problems go away, or at least drastically reduce your problems.

Yeah, except Bob missed the bit about the OP posting a video of himself waxing his face if all else fails. That's important.

Just one point to the OP. I hope you're not a troll, but you state that, "my razor currently cuts my arm hair perfectly fine in mid air applying no pressure really".
Cutting in mid air means you're not applying any pressure. The pressure is applied by the resistance of the hair to being moved by the razor, as opposed to being cut by the razor and please don't swear.
If you're not a troll, then welcome

Yea, good one I did miss that. I rarely consider trolls but now that you mention it.

That would be hilarious - if the OPs messing around, I would say, "Well played sir, well played!" :-)

You have a better sense of humour concerning trolls that I do.

Lately they have shown up to stir up. Tc

What would motivate a troll?
OT, I know...
Honest, I'm not a Troll
I'm just slow
But people like me.

Low IQ, coupled with lots of time, a good internet connection, lack of a job, lack of friends, porn has been blocked by their ISP and thus, boredom. They should all be under bridges where they belong.

That porn part is troublesome...
