Schick G - joelkerr - 08-22-2021
For some reason, I just can't get the hang of this razor. I've used it maybe half a dozen times, and even though the shave is super close, I get really bad irritation. I'm very conscious of pressure, so I've concluded that I still haven't found the right angle. I've watched a bunch of videos on this razor and I've tried really hard, but I'm now hesitant to use it again because I don't want to deal with an irritated face that takes 3 or 4 days to heal. I'm going to keep it, just because it's a really cool razor, and maybe I'll eventually pick it up again and try and get the angle right. But for now, it's going into storage.

Do you lay the top of the razor flat against you skin? The shaving angle is built into the design of the head.

Yep, tried that

I decided to try the Schick again. No matter how careful I am, I still get irritation on my neck, which is the most sensitive spot for me. But at the same time, I get the closest shaves from this razor, nothing else comes close. I barely have a shadow of stubble two days after shaving. It’s incredible.
My beard is very coarse, and this razor easily mows down a 5 day growth. It’s also very manoeuvrable, it’s great for the area under the nose.
If it weren’t for the guaranteed irritation, this might have been the perfect razor.

It may be that particular razor. Would you be able to pick up another G on the cheap to test another one out. I see Gs for pretty reasonable prices frequently.

True, maybe I'll pick up another one and try it out.

Are you riding the cap?
yeah, I'm keeping it as flat as possible.

Maybe skip going against the grain?
