The Male Grooming thread ...

[onewearz]

i see we ain't got a thread for all things involving upkeep in our fresh, so now we do

let's use this for tips, products, deals, opinions and anything concerning ... grooming ....

just purchased these for keeping my facial hair and haven't modified or sharpened the blade yet but they definitely are the truth .

got em off amazon for $40 bucks cheaper than in stores so I still ain't stop chirping since

waiting on these blade sharpeners to try em out from this spot https://www.therichbarber.com/products/1-min-blade-modifier

also copped this to set the blades (zero gap)

if u enjoy this **** as much as I do , feel free to chime in. otherwise, keep your scruffy unkept asses over there

let's get it goin

At this point I feel like I line my beard up better than my barber. That's why I see him twice a month and line myself up in between. Once I get nice with the straight razor hell see me once a month

Straight razor >>>>>

same. i see mine every 2 weeks. fix it myself in between. i got all the equipment, even my barber adjusted my clippers to perfection . he's the one who put me on to the blackout's. they don't get hot as fast as the og's. them joints were like holding a curling iron after 3 minutes.

i've gotten awfully nice with the straight razor, took time and alot of courage

These are pretty good, i remember when i used to go to the barber hed use this sometimes on my neck to finish up. Mainly the straight blade tho, my facial hair grows fast so it cuts deeper and lasts a lil longer

I've been using a Wahl peanut for over 15 years. Should I get an Andis?

onewearz got a new pair of clippers and ran wild. He about to fire his barber . Forreal though, that red Wahl shaver is good money. I need to get me one to use between haircuts. My hair grows stupid fast.

wow 15 years

u need to encase those on a pillow

Andis are the top of the line , as far as I know and what I've been told by those in the know. i copped these before the blackout's and was not impressed at all. did nothing but cut and scratch me.

wound up selling em after a couple uses.

T outliners are probably the goat grooming tool. Wahl products are built well but inferior imo. All you need is a fademaster & a toutliner and you’re good.

 

[alchemist iq]

for my african american brothas suffering from razor bumps. i highly recommend this product. use it wisely though can severly dry your skin.

 

[onewearz]

reminds me, i shave with that Shaving Butter from dollar shave club. works good cause its clear , especially if you're lining up you're face.

 

[putting in work]

There is a big thread about this stuff like 80 pages or something with a lot of good information.

I've been cutting my own hair since about 2011, so glad I made that move!

That no tangle cable on the blackouts are the real gem though.

Yeah these were never that good to me, when I had them only used it a few times. Had an Andis slimline 2 I was gonna throw away because they suck, but ended buying some t blades for that wahl edger and modifying them to fit and zero gapping, ended up being a fantastic cordless option for shape ups.

as someone who used one of these, the cut/shave is solid, but the foil/head will need replacement every 3-4 months (@$16+ a pop) depending on your usage...

id look into the Andis version (which supposedly yields similar results)...

 

[nazdrowie]

both of these products have stopped the ingrown hairs that i would get from shaving my head...
