Why does shaving suck so much?

[Runnin]

You should learn how to shave or find a razor that works for you. There is an actual science to shaving. The direction you shave depends on the direction your hair grows. All the hair on your face doesn't grow in the same direction.

It grows in the direction you shave it.

I only shave about once a week but if I had to do it every day I'd invest in a boar hair brush with real shaving soap and an old school straight razor. I tried it one time and it came out super clean. Shaving with just a regular Mach 3 and whatever off the shelf shaving cream you can find is nothing like using the old school stuff.

How old?

My beard is legit, but just in case.
