Gillette Fusion5

“Some quick contextual background, and thank you in advance for any advice. I'm in my mid 40's and haven't shaved with a razor since my early 20's. I experienced horrible horrible ingrown hairs and burns shaving. From memory i was using 3 or 4 blade gillette or something similar, and some gel. I tried electric razors (the kind with the round pads) and had similar results, but more razor burn. Then i gave up. For the past 20 years, i have just used a small trimmer, and maintained a perpetual "scruffy look" There was this one time that i took the time to actually pluck every hair on my face and neck with a tweezers before going on a tropical vacation, that was quite the experience. Recently i've desired to be clean shaven again and was doing research on ways to avoid my previous problems that landed me somewhere near this sub. Reading through the wiki and other content here, there seams to be a heavy emphasis on the hobby nature, but i'm not really looking to make shaving a hobby, i just want to get good results, and appreciate I'm not and won't be an artisan shaver. What landed me here was a search related to how multi-blade razors cause more ingrown hairs because it lifts the hair and chops it off below the surface of your skin at a wedge angle making it more likely to catch on its way back up and out. that single blade shaving like a DE don't create as clean of a shave because it brings it down right to the skin surface not below, but that it is less likely to cause ingrown hairs. looking for your opinions and expertise, should i get a DE starter kit, or is this more of a "i want to perfect the art of shaving, this is actually harder and your results will be worse".”
