Then I shaved with a disposable razor, and felt how smooth my face could actually get. It had just assumed that my face or whiskers (or both) naturally led to an early 5 o'clock shadow. I was shocked at the difference.
That was a couple of months ago, and I have experimented with a couple of different types of razors to see which one works the best for me with the fewest nicks and cuts. On occasion, especially on a couple of hurried mornings, I have used my electric razor only to feel ... well ... unclean for the rest of the day. Sure, part of the issue might be that I haven't replaced the blades in my electric razor since I bought it about a decade ago, but as I said, I never remember having my face feel this smooth.
