Thread: Recommendations for shaving around a beard

Hello,

I was curious to know what others, who sport beards (goatees, etc.), use for shaving equipment. I wanted to get a cleaner look, which requires some more precise shaving around the mouth, nose, sides, and chin. My SR's are a little big for that, and the Mach 3 p.o.s. doesn't get precise enough either.

I was thinking of going w/ a shavette for that purpose. Any thoughts? Can a shavette blade be stropped to get a little more mileage out of it?

Thanks.

I rarely get to answer shaving questions but hehehe I am an expert on this one..

This is what I started using a straight razor for back in 1981, if you want straight beard lines use a straight edge...

My target razor for this work is a 4/8 -6/8 Extra Hollow grind Square/Spike point...

+1 on the spike point for precision shaving

And let me guess... you just happen to have one for sale?

hahaha...

A 4/8" Extra Hollow, Spike, eh? Do they still make those? Sure would like to try before I buy if I could. Maybe if I can get a good deal on one.

Thanks, as always, for the expertise Glen.
