Sigh.

If I shave with an electric razor, the skin under my jaw stays rough and stubbly, and becomes raw and irritated as well, to the point where I can't wear a high-collared shirt without going insane.

If I shave with a blade, I get a reasonably smooth surface under there, but one covered with tiny drops of blood where the skin there is apparently just uneven enough to take a dozen tiny nicks every time. I can wear collared shirts, but they better be dark if I don't want the stains to show.

I despise shaving.

Oh man I am so with you there. My skin isn't as sensitive, well the shirts don't bother me. I've discovered since coming to Japan that the best shave for me is to take my electric shaver (Norelco Advantage) into the shower with me. The hot water goes a long way to prep your skin for the trauma, and the goop that the Advantage provides helps even more.

Though sometimes I overdo it with that and wind up bleeding from my electric shave. Damn this sucks.
