How to get a close shave?

by Samantha Joy

My husband has just recently started a beard, and neither he nor I know what sort of razor to keep it looking neat and well trimmed.

My safety razors (the ones I use on my legs) don't do the job, and they're pink which offends his dignity anyway. :)

His electric razor has been fine for many years, but it doesn't do a good job of "edging" (is that what you call it?--The line between beard and skin isn't as clear cut as I'd like it to be.)

So far our best option has been to send him to a barber shop once a week, but is there a way to do this at home without him looking like he's been attacked by a beauty school dropout?

Do you have razor recommendations, shaving cream recommendations, anything that can help us?

Thanks in advance.
