    I use a 3 blade razor cause its what I can get in the store here. Ill need to check out a safety razor, my big concern is under my jaw, as it is pretty unevenly shaped. I shave first with and then against the grain, otherwise the hair is long enough to stick through my makeup 😭.

    Any recommendations for a cute safety razor (or even just neutral and not marketed towards men)?

      I rec a three pass shave; with the grain, across the grain, against the grain. Also, shave butter instead of soap. Also also, shaving under the jaw is easiest for me in the shower because otherwise I just make a mess all over the bathroom.

      I have a Feather safety razor, but yeah, it's clearly marketed "for Men" on the website. The tool itself is so obviously gender neutral and it just has a very plain and utilitarian stainless steel design, but they still feel the need for gendered marketing garbage. 😒

      i use the king c gillette, but aside from the packaging assuring men how manly they are it’s just a regular stainless steel razor, also bought a big box of bic blades which seem decent.

      but yeah shaving under my jaw is the worst :(
