Is that Vince SR getting a haircut?
Before I quit shaving altogether, I used a Gillette Slim, this little gem

I found shaving cream made my face burn all day and finally switched to just hot water, it works great. One time was all it took to convince me. Never used that “can of foaming goo” Frank Zappa sang about again.
Finally quit altogether, I haven’t touched my Gilette in several years. I’ve always had a beard, haven’t shaved it entirely since 1980 or so, but kept it about an inch long or less, finally got sick of the trimmer and just let it grow. I get people telling me every time I go into town I look like “Uncle Si” from Duck Dynasty. I finally saw them in an interview, I don’t look like him at all...he looks like me. (I can’t stand reality TV, refuse to watch the show at all.)
Try the hot water method, it works. Just plain hot water, as hot as you can stand it, on a washcloth, put it on your face for a couple of minutes, repeat if you think you need to. No soap, no canned goo, just water. I was surprised how well it works. And no irritation from the chemicals in whatever they put in that goo...
Until I started using hot water I never even trimmed the excess in summer, my face and neck would burn all day. Torture...hot water solved that problem, and in winter if you hunt, no smell to warn the deer of your presence.
Off topic tip to hunters...build a small fire and stand around in the smoke for a few minutes before going into the woods. Deer pay little attention to campfire smoke, in most hunting areas it’s a common smell so they think you’re just more campfire smell carried in the wind. Don’t use soap if you bathe the night before, no cologne, no deodorant, no powder, nothing that doesn’t smell like it belongs in the woods. Yeah that means no booze...who wants to hunt with a hangover anyway?
