How do I get rid of stubble?

I'm not sure how many of you shave...
but, anyways. After I shave with a disposable razor I get a greenish colored stubble.
How do I get rid of that? Honestly, I hate having that.
I was thinking about using a straight edge razor, but I hear that you can get flesh wounds if you shave with it wrong.

I've never heard of "greenish-grey" stubble...

Just buy a better razor. Even something around 40-50$ will be cheaper in the long run, and you should be able to avoid the stubble for a few hours.

@deciduous
i'm not saying leprechaun green. i'm talking like greenish grey. i don't have any grey hair, too young for that.

@butts

@YourPirateGuy: oh who knows. i just figure if you hit it a few times with something it should be a bit better than just once?
personally i just make sure i don't miss any spots and just let the stubble grow a few days (i've never had mine go green either, even w/ dull razors).

[quote=Deciduous]i guess you could either go over it both ways w/ as many blades as you can get, or shave normally and go over it w/ an electric razor.[/quote]

and this is 100% effective way of getting rid of stubble?

@butts
what is too dull?

well if you practice with a straight edge you should be fine, but yeah it is dangerous
