Straight razor yields the best shaving results for me by far...but I only trust a skilled barber to do it properly.

I once had a novice trim my mustache...left some bad cuts just under my nose that took over a week to heal...didn't feel too good after the haircut and shave when the barber applies that stinging tonic!!!

As an African-American, razor bumps are a real problem...the curly hair has a propensity to burrow under the skin and regrow, leaving a bump...you have to extract with tweezers...painful and time-consuming!

I figured out after some years of treacherous skin problems to shave against the grain. But I think my facial skin has toughened up over the years, so no matter what I do, I have very little problems with ingrown hairs these days...
