minus-squarewise_pancake@lemmy.calinkfedilinkarrow-up3·4 days agoInitially I did nick myself a lot I realized with my skin and beard combo I can’t go against the grain, so getting to know myself helped a lot. I do with the grain then across. I don’t nick myself often and I use an alum block when I do, or just to clean up any spots I think will turn into a razor burn. You can get a cheaper DE razor to start, the blades and shave soap will make the biggest difference.
