Thank a lot for all those explanations I think I’ve understood how it works
To LAgirl:
I know I don’t have so many hair but the problem is that almost every hair (exept the mustache area) become ingrown or induce an inflammatory reaction with redness and oedema around the follicule when I shave against the grain. If I shave with the grain I don’t look shaved at all because my hair is quite thick.
The beard really not suits me 95% of the time (in summer times I like to grow it for a few days but certainly not regularly) so I have to shave and put up with the bumps… I had to find a balance between the bumps and the shave it was hard… And my self confidence was a lot affected.
If I want to do only this area it is because i’ve ever tried and that’s good because I can look very clean shaved even if i shaved the areas left with a trimmer or an electric shaver without stretching the skin, because my cheeks are clear.
And if I decide to grow a beard it’s not that impossible with the areas left…
I don’t know if you have another idea (maybe about the form?) but I have really tried everything: 1,2,3,4,5 blades, electric shaver, trimmer, magic shave, bump fighter razors, tend skin…
When something doesn’t give me bumps, it doesn’t give me a “clean” shave neither…
Waxing (with tweezers) was different, I had wonderful results the first 10 days, then a lot of breakouts (those kind of pimples doesn’t leave with tend skin within 2 days because they are deeply ingrown, not the same kind of ingrown I had when i shave)
That’s probably unbelievable but due to this issue i developped a severe depression and Obsessive–compulsive disorder with my skin… I lost everything from my girlfriend i used to love so much to my 2 last years in the equivalent of “college” in france…
You can’t imagine how much this forum helped me!
