What's going on everyone? I just felt like sharing something that I find worth sharing.

I suffer pretty badly from eczema and I've been trying to deal with it for pretty much all my life. Ever since I started Dupilumab (it's a biological injection that tells my body to create a missing enzyme), it's been a lot quieter, except for... the face.

My dad taught me how to shave with a simple Gilette razor casette system, so that's what I have been using since I was around 16. I am now 32, and I have been using Boldking's razor system and that worked best for me. It was just a lot of work and kind of tedious. Plus it would give me a lot of inconsistent results. I would, however, deal with redness and spots in the face. I have also tried an electrical razor but that only seems to make the redness worse.

So last week I decided to give a safety razor a try, I ordered one and it arrived today. Had my shave just now and it just feels so much nicer.

I was still using foam from a can (also from Boldking since they don't use parabens), but I'm looking to upgrade to a better foam, with a brush.

So bottom line: one shave in and I'm sold. I am excited to experience the journey!
