shaving 'around there'

Blokes, I wonder if you could give me some advice of a rather personal nature... You see, i'm having problems shaving around the flabby bits by my throat. They are too soft to shave easily with my electric so I wonder if anyone has developed a good technique of deeling with these bits??

OH, and, if you were expecting something else in this thread: YOU PERVERTS :biggrin: :P

Forget the electric razor, buy a Mach 3 Power and some shaving gel. Tilt your head back and pull the skin tight and it'll slice through them like a hot knife through butter. Closest shave you'll ever get in your life.

Wash your face first. You need to get the hairs to soften. Usa a good foam/gel. Shave in the direction of growth to prevent ingrown hairs.

For the face down, for the neck up.

Forget nitro and machs. Use whatever works for you and your wallet.

For less than 10 quid, a Mach 3 Power and a few spare blades is so, so worth the money.

I prefer shaving against the grain personally though, for a closer shave.

I know what you mean.

Force your jaw out, so your bottom teeth are further out than your top. Then look up.

You'll look like a knob, but it'll work.

my hair growth used to be a wirlwind "down there", follow the direction of hair growth carefully and shave in that direction for each part, electric shavers you need to spin a few times before they cut the hairs and it wont do it in the direction of growth. Like someone said, stretch the skin by sticking out your jaw.

Shave with direction initially, then against to get it smooth.
