How do you minimize razor stubble after using emjoi?

I never get razor stubble, it may be because I exfoliate my skin with a loofah and dry brush my skin frequently, also I always keep my skin moisturized. After using the emjoi, I simply moisturize with pure coconut oil and that keeps the epilated area soft for me. I hope this helps!

There won't be any razor stubble because this product is removing the hair from the root. It's basically a bunch of tweezers, uncomfortable but you get great results.

If you wait for the hair to grow out to like waxing length (2-3 +mm) first , then you probably wont have anything to worry about. I generally like to just do my stuff fllike once a week and don't notice anything. Idk if that helps but I hope it does.

I use a "Light Touch" that is "FREE", and "...Against the grain, and with the grain, back and forth like a paint brush..." - it takes about 4-5 minutes to shave as close as any other "Other Type" I have found - I am 82 years old, and still trying to learn!The Old Mountain Goat

May not be the thing to use. I think I would recommned an electric razor. Something like the Panasonic ES-SL41-S Electric Razor might be easier on his face. There are a number of good electric razors. I like the Panasonic and it can be used wet.

Dibby-dab on fingertip, smooth out in opposite palm, rub hands together, smooth through beard; works immediately. Beard on!

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

Keep them submerged in baby oil between shaves. They will last twice as long.

Sounds like you have loose skin. Try pulling your skin tight and with the bottom of the blade flush against your face, shave without scraping. Also try using a pre-shave oil to soften the hair prior to shaving.

I do! Take the grey cover off that surrounds the tweezer things first. It is sooooo much faster than looking for all the little lip and chin hairs to tweeze, and it removes the hair from the root, so you only need to do it every few days! ...and if you use a razor, you'd get man stubble, and that's not so hott haha...it takes literally a minute or two, and that's it to do your lip and chin. Yes it stings to do your lip, but I'm used to it. I always use mine without the grey cover for all areas that I epilate , and it is way more effective in removing hair without it. I use it everywhere (yes, EVERYWHERE haha) for hair removal, and I haven't used a razor in over 10 years! I do! Take the grey cover off that surrounds the tweezer things first.

I have one like this that I use just for the suede side, specifically to finish the edge after honing.I rub a loaf of crOx (green buffing compound sold on Amazon too) until the suede is greenish, then use it to strop.That works great for me. I have not had to re-hone a razor in over a year.

There is a small button at the side near the head that releases the head for easy cleaning. It's a ry nice small and functional shaver for travel. I even use it at home.

As far as removing the hair, it is excellent, and the hair will grow in much softer. I would suggest the smallest version model of the Emjoi, though, as a small version will 'fit' much better around mouth, and jawline.

Curve side is recommended. Watch out since the shaver is pretty sharp and shaves very well-so, try not to put the razor side close, otherwise, you may end up with a strip of beard missing!

Use the electric shaver before you shower. Don't even wash your face until after you shave. If hair gets saturated with water, it gets more elastic and thus harder to cut with an electric razor. Just use a talc stick like FaceSaver to neutralize the oils on your face.If the razor still tugs, there might be other issues like: 1.Are you using too much pressure and thus slowing down the RPM (speed) of the razor. 2.The razor may have become defective due to internal damage from being dropped -- affecting the RPM. (this happened to me). 3.The cutter has lost its sharpness. Unlikely with a new razor, unless it was used to cut something other than hair. Use the electric shaver before you shower.

I agree on the gentler solution. This is more for detail work in my opinion, gives a nice close shave. Not sure that it's a good choice for what you want to do.

Step 1) Depress the two buttons on the sides of the head and remove, just like you do when you clean the blades. Step 2) Take hold of a blade by the sides (longwise) and pull directly out. They're held on to their posts mostly by tension, so no tools are required. Repeat for the other blade. Step 3) Clean the shaver off so the posts are devoid of all your residual shavings and general buildup. This will ensure the new blades will sit well. Step 4) Put on new blades on their respective posts. Press down to ensure they are seated correctly, but not too hard as (A) they are razor blades, and (B) the retentive posts are made from plastic. Step 5) Snap the guard/head back on and resume your carefree life or convenient shaving. ~M~

I had the same issue as you're having. I found it works best if you go with the hairs and if you need a closer shave go across the hairs for a second time. Vice using the traditional method of going against your facial hair. Be sure to put on more shaving cream with your brush if you do go over your neck/ face again so your skin doesn't get irritated.
