I know this is an older video but I recently switched to electric from razor, it’s really helped my skin, I would get razor bumps/sores and it would make my dermatitis horrible. Switching has really helped my skin! Thanks for this video!
@@paweb5260 So I’ve started doing a wet shave WITH the grain with a safety razor and only with the grain. Then I’ll wash off the shaving cream and tap it dry, then I’ll switch over to my foil shaver and go against the grain. For myself, I’ve found it’s been working great.
Thank you so much. I was not at all prepared to teach my son how to shave, it was going to be something my dad taught my son, videos like this make me feel less embarrassed about not knowing how to do it as his mum.
@@alexanderm7270 you will get smoother result with a double razor (maybe, depending on the beard growth, with electric shaver, after the shave, your beard remained to the length of a few hours/maybe 1 day beard growth after the shave with a razor) Not a big difference unless you are required to have that clean look or you want to have it. For me, a bit shadow beard is reasonable, considering I am no longer stressed of how hard I press the blade, risking cuts or burns and I never had a cut or irritation ever since I use electric razor
I started shaving with an electric razor but gave it up within the year except if I needed to urgently shave for something and didn't have time for a wet shave, it always burned and never gave a close shave but I bought a Philip's razor can shave wet and dry during covid and will try it dry for the first time tonight and wet the next time I shave as I grew a beard shortly after getting it. Shaved it off about 2 weeks ago with a double edged blade great job and shave with that now gives a great shave and as quick and easy as a catrage razor and a better shave no irritation what so ever and as smooth as a babies rear end.
@@Geo-kp1nv some people don’t have dads that were there to teach them how to shave my dad died before I started using an electric razor so he never got to teach me
This seems far more like a product placement ad for the Braun model you’re spending time singing the praises of rather than actual good electric shaving advice buddy.
I had this braun trimmer that had a shaver as an additional attatchment, for like 5 years I used that and it ALWAYS gave me the most perfect beard shaping until a few weeks ago it broke and I was forced to buy a moser shaver which... gives my neck the worst redness possible and gave me a few bumps too. Hopefully my skin gets used to it haha.
dont know if it is my problem but with this shaver it takes ages to have a really smooth and clean cut or it leaves spots with beard uncutted.. should i trim it before fot like 4mm? or should i refund it and stick with usual razor balde that is fast and clean?
rihavein aiba try shaving right when you get out of the shower I find that when your face is wet you can shave a little bit more aggressively once you find you can’t shave any more clean the hair from the razor and if you have cleaning solution or what ever it is use it then shave later that day or tomorrow morning and if you want a clean shaving experience and your struggling try shaving every single day
Thanks for the tips! I like your style. So I recently started a skincare routine. So do I need an "after shave" moisturizer or I can get away with using a regular facial moisturizer after shaving? Lol soo much products...
Netanel if you are using an electric shaver and don’t experience any redness or bumps you should be able to just follow up with a moisturizer. Foils on electric shavers don’t irritate the skin as much as using a regular blade, though the friction from the foil could still irritate sensitive skin In such case one could apply non alcohol based aftershave before their moisturizer. Using a mild exfoliant and a good pre shave oil along with a shave cream can drastically cut down on skin irritation during shaving. They also make lotions specifically designed for electronic shavers that lubricate the skin and stand up hairs, electric shave lotion replaces both pre shave oil and shaving cream and should only be used with electric shavers.
As a transman who's trying to learn how to shave for the first time, thank you! I'm not as nervous. I'm trying to find an electric shaver that's affordable and works well with shaky hands.
I was thinking of pairing a trimmer with an electric shaver. Trim the main parts and use an electric shaver for the outlier hairs. Is that a good idea?
Try to attack it using different angles, also try to use a different electric shaver like a Remington, i've got a cheaper one called Remington My Groom with double foils that beats the Braun in my experience, keep in mind i use a Braun Waterflex which is similar to Series 5. The problem with it is that it never shaves as close as my other two electric razors(Remington and Smate). These two shavers have costed me only half of the Braun but i still manage to get a closer shave with them.
If your razor has the sideburn clippers then I suggest using those to clean up the neck hairs. Works like a charm. Just go slow and smooth. Really easy to burn the hell out of your neck using those.
Why does it have 3 blades like two roller blades and the middle part is all im trying to find out not how this it's so frustrating I've looked everywhere.
I have just bought a Braun shaver made in Germany. And my beard is 2 or 3 days old. It won't shave. Like at all. The cheeks aren't precise at all, and at my neck where I have most of my beard wouldn't get shaved. Tried all directions, wet and dry. It just doesn't shave. And the reviews were perfect so I'm rather confused. Maybe it's just my beard.
I know this is 5 months late, but i use the phillips one blade and it is incredible, i use to use a gillette fusion and mach 3 but always got ingrowns, now i use the one blade, sometimes wet sometimes dry and i hardly ever get razor bumps or ingrowns. Each to their own but definitely worth trying it.
@@ProfessorSprinklesGaming one or two blades are fine infact their used be a great 2 blade swivel head razor gave the best shave of all the catrage razors forget the name a grey razor but any more blades mach3 so on are just over rated give an ok shave but not as good as 1or 2 blade razors. The best shave is from the good old fashioned double edged razors you should be able get one in your supermarket
Hi. Long shot since this old video, but I take my chance. I shave with wet gilette razor for 30y. Today I just bought a braun serie 7 and first experience was painful. Like my hairs were pulled out. Is something wrong with the ahaver? Thanks if you can advice.
No all electric shaves are like that in my experience unless the newer ones are different some demon possessed me to buy one during covid can shave wet or dry I'll find out about the dry shave tonight and the wet shave next shave but not holding out much hope to be honest if you want a really nice shave get a double edged razor it's the best shave I ever had and I'm shaving over 40 years
Hey robin, an Indian fan here, could u please suggest me a hair product or perhaps a haircut/style? Cause trust me you have never seen anything like mine, my hair is straight hard and smooth, they stand up when i cut them short; they bother my eyes when i let them grow, will really appreciate a reply ( also to match my complexion, i am a tanned light brown kid😜) please let me know your suggestion
Hey Harsh. Someone on the Forum actually asked the same: manforhimself.com/question/hair-products/hair-products-india/ Not hugely helpful yet, but we'll get there!
Not at all. You mean to cover the rest of your face? Totally depends on genetics. Some people have full beards within a couple years of their first hairs, and some never get a full beard. It took me about 4 years from my first chin hairs to have something remotely beard like. Best advice, be patient and work with your strengths. If you’ve got chin hair maybe try a goatee?
Ahh, then they are either vellus or transitional hairs. If you can actually see them, and they are darker/ longer than your “peach fuzz” then they are likely transitioning into terminal beard hairs. Totally normal, I’ve still got plenty of hairs transitioning in my beard! Hope that helps 😁
Buy Remington, in my experience the Braun doesn't shave as close as a Remington, of course the only downside is that Remington gives a little irritation while the Braun doesn't cause that.

@@jps6709 oh really? I thought braun has good products lol. I've seen a video someone using it and he had much better results then I get🤔 there are small hairs on my neck always 😩
@@szucsadam0527 I agree with the other commenter, I think it's just an old crummy shaver. I have one too and have that exact same problem. My neck is always spotted with hairs that are missed no matter how many times I go over them. Since that's the only electric shaver I've ever owned, I'm not sure if it's a problem with this model or electric shavers in general. Concern over having the same problem is actually what's kept me from buying a newer one.
Switch to Remington and prepare to be amazed, your hairs on your neck would be shaved properly. Braun sucks at getting a closer shave, my Braun Waterflex can't compete with an inferior Remington MyGroom which is laughable, another great shaver that is on my second choice is a Smate ST-W382. The only downside of the Remington is that it gives a little irritation but with the Smate i never get that.

How hard do you press down on the shaver while shaving?
Should I wash my face before or after shaving? Ive browsed through the internet and there are mixed reviews.
Do you know if you can shave straight over your lips with an electric shaver, or do you have to be carful?
It doesn't matter as much as using the right electric shaver for the job.
Cleansing your face is washing it so he suggests cleaning it before shaving
Thank you dad

You're very charismatic
oh thank god! didn't realise i been doing something wrong for years, when someone tell me to shave hair i go shave the curtains
If the most expensive el shaver in Braun's lineup wouldn't provide a close shave,I will be damned
