I don't know what's happened. I have had some stress related issues due to a new job I took late last December. This whole year has been rough. I'm not ruling out that stress has had an affect on my face.
I've tried everything short of trying brand new razors. I have an old Panasonic, Norelco, Braun and my newer Braun at home. I've tried all 4 and even bought new blades for all but the Panasonic to no avail. Also picked up new foils for the Brauns. My beard is not getting cut well at all. I'm getting ingrowns for the first time since I became a dedicated electric shaver back in Nov '04. Not necessarily from what usually causes ingrowns. I'm having whiskers not getting picked up and cut, then growing into my face. Mainly on the side of my face I sleep on. So it's not an irritation thing like I used to and most people deal with.
The 3-head Norelco style razors still cut too close and give me the usual type ingrows, which are harder to deal with since the hair is basically all under skin. It does pretty much pick up all the hair though. The foil types just aren't picking up all the hair. I've tried shaving at different times of the day, Remington powder stick, wet, dry and an assortment of electric shaver products.
At my ropes end and tired of dealing with it. Anyone ever went thru a long stretch like this?
