shaving...

[zerioustt]

what kind of shaving creme does everyone use?

while back i ran out of shaving creme(gillette) so i used hair conditioner. let me tell you it was the best shave i have ever had. i have sensitive skin and it def made a huge difference. so now im saving money and getting a better shave!

[240_fun]

I think i might go try this right now...

[Jeffros Spec V]

I have really curly hair and my neck is so senitive...my neck gets so ****ed up when I shave.

I've tried everything and nothing works. I don't know that I've tried conditioner though.

A lot of people suggest a badger hair shaving brush and straight razor...bbut they are expensive as **** too.

[russiankid]

I use Gillette "Foamy" Sensitive Skin. Works great, doesn't irritate my skin.

[CRXed]

Trying the conditioner method in 10 minutes...

[99SL2_Modder]

I usually use Gillette. I have sensitive skin too, so maybe I'll try my conditioner.

[Scapegoat]

i don't often shave... i normally trim my entire face with the mustache trimmer of my electric shaver... I look young enough, and it only gets worse when I shave with a razor

I do that sometimes as well. Honestly I just hate shaving though. You'll see me cleanly shaven once a week tops. My Boss yells at me all the time but what can I do?

I'd rather have some scruff than my neck look like it got attacked by a beaver.

[sherwood]

i shave with whatever shaving cream pearl leaves in the bathroom.

[poisonivory]

i have very sensitive skin too. I use the gillette gel sometimes, as well as Barbasol. Barbasol has soothing aloe and skin conditioner shaving creams which don't irritate my skin as much. As a businessman i shave pretty much every day, so my skin gets irritated easily. I shave at 7am and I have full face/neck of stubble by bedtime that night.

When I run out, I'm also guilty of using my fiancee's girly "silk" shaving stuff..which isn't bad either. lol

I'm going to have to try the hair conditioner trick.

[redline]

I use gillette and a mach 3 turbo and shave everyday. My face is very sensitive and I have recently tried the fusion power, what a POS compared to the mach 3 turbo. It doesn't work for me, my hair is course so I only clog it up faster.

I will try conditioner but I doubt it will do anything to help the damage and bleeding, I bleed every time I shave especially from my neck. But a good aloe aftershave takes care of that. It took me forever to find a combo that works and the Mach 3 is the only solution with Gillette sensitive skin gel.

[BustedUjoint]

When I was in the Marines and HAD to shave every day if I didn't use an electric, I would use Gilette Gel. Now, I rock the beard and very very VERY rarely do a full shave (I think that has happened 4 times since 2004) BUT when trimming I use no cream. I just shave right after the shower.

[OPZ]

I use the new gillette fusion, that is the best blade I have ever used. I also use the gillette soft skin gel, and it works...but its not the best. I'm really curious about this hair conditioner one.

[Roto]

Gilette shaving gel...however I just ran out and I might just use hair conditioner....

[den9]

i use to shave every other day cuz i feel dirty if i dont, now i do it every 4 days about, but the shorter it is, the easier is to shave. i hate when the razor pulls the hair.

i usually use a norelco dry shaver then hop in the shower and finish up my neck and all the spots i missed with a disposable razor.

the closest shave i ever got was with a wet norelco in the shower with nivea or gillette gel, i did a side by side comparism with a mach 3.

[The Captain]

once a week, max. I get really scrappy around day 5-6 and it looks really unprofessional in the office i work in, but I really don't care. I hate shaving and like facial hair. I use the cheap target gel because i stole it from one of my housemates. Once school starts, I'm going with the ugliest facial hair possible, the neck beard. It's my last chance to get to have ridiculous facial hair so i'm going for it.

[TGilb2007]

Gillete Fusion Phantom, and the Hydragel. Personally, I think its awesome. But when I have to remove the goatee, I gotta use my electric first to mow it down, then use the normal razor over that.

[zerioustt]

One thing people do wrong is go against the grain when shaving. For me I shave the old neck beard down and everything else I go up.

[CRXed]

**** I forgot to try it.

[omgjacki]

I've used conditioner many times, and I agree, it works great. Granted, I'm not shaving my face, but it works. I use the $0.97 **** when I use conditioner to shave, though. No way am I using my $7.00 John Frieda conditioner on my legs.

[Willdue]

Jacki? You shave down there? THANK GOD!

[twastheglow]

I agree. I definately shave with the grain.

[omgjacki]

Find out?



Naaaaah :wink:

[den9]

shave against the grain really irritates the skin, only way to get a shave closer than a electric, not worth it.

i hate facial hair, when i seen dudes with beards like this

i think hippie scum bag who showers once a month

i like stubble, like 5 oclock shadow

[Vypurr]

Find out?



Naaaaah :wink:

Oh no...Bad thoughts....:prayer:

But I shave every couple of days with an electric razor, unless I am gonna do some man-scaping in which case i have a Mach3 Fusion with regular old Gilette Cream. I guess I will have to try something better because i also get the neck burn. I think shaving every day would also help because you are just cutting off stubble at that point too.

[twastheglow]

Find out?



Naaaaah :wink:

I sure wish I had gotten that invitation. :cry:



Feel free to PM me the details...no really. :wink:

[russiankid]

I agree. I definately shave with the grain.

Same here. If I don't, my skin gets so irritated and itchy its unbearable.

Dood im still lmfao on how excited u were when you fig the conditioner out :rotfl: @ first i thought u were f'in with me, i almost lost it when isaw the thread!!

Still havent tried it though, boycotting till fri

[KingOfDelco]

haha, ain't no pantene gonna work on my grizzlefoshizzle. I may win the TST award for thickest/fullest/best beard (and probably most hairy body too! :)

I had a full beard at 14. haha. i can grow a full, thick-butt beard in like 2 weeks, complete hippy-style. I do it every couple weeks or so, but it gets so ITCHY, i have to take it off... and go back to my line-beard, aka. chin strap.

[amit]

I have to be the only man that has no clue what brand shave gel he uses. All i know is...i dont think it does ****. I cut myself up every time. I'm trying this conditioner thing tonight or tomorrow...maybe now...this chin straps getting itchy.

[TGilb2007]

I cut myself up every time.


Be more careful?

I had a ex that would yell at me if she caught me using regualr creme. She would insist I use lotion, any kind of lotion in fact and she was right. It makes a huge difference.

I stank of appricot but my skin was silky smooth :mrgreen:

[The Captain]

I'm shaving tonight and i'll try this. But lotion or conditioner?

[zerioustt]

I'm shaving tonight and i'll try this. But lotion or conditioner?

im standing by the conditioner...reason being i havent tried lotion.

[cburwell]

Barbasol on the face, and just straight soap and water on the old Lt. Dangle.

I might give the lotion thing a try, since my face dries out quickly with the cream.

[igo4bmx]

I'll let you know when I hit puberty

[poolmike]

I hate shaving. I am so grateful(I guess) that I have never had a job that required me to shave. I am trying the conditioner routine tonight. Right now my beard is all green after painting the Jeep.

[Roto]

One thing people do wrong is go against the grain when shaving. For me I shave the old neck beard down and everything else I go up.

I dunno, before I used to not do it and the shave wasn't clean at all... going up actually makes a huge difference...

[The Captain]

Alright, I used conditioner AND lotion! And on top of that, i went upwards on the face (i usually just go down) Holy hell is it a close shave. I can run my hands upwards and it's still smooth. Probably won't do this everytime, but if i really gotta look clean, this is what I'll do.

[OPZ]

I guess the main thing though is did it feel any better then using shaving cream?

[poisonivory]

Be more careful?

lol i have two scars on my face from shaving over the years, so you know they were bad cuts. I took chunks of skin. I def take my time now.

[jdm free]

no shaving cream. electric razor for me. i hate using a regular one

[BustedUjoint]

i like stubble, like 5 oclock shadow


Is that just a preference for when you cuddling? Or is that just how you like your men to look? :)

[MuddyREX]

I find that the shaving goes much easier when I do it after I shower instead of before. The hair seems to be softer after it's been washed than before.

troof. the hair absorbs some water, making it easier to cut.

[Roto]

also try soaking a towel in hot water and put that on your face before you shave... makes a heck of a difference...

[C'DALERIDER]

Well, I use conditioner a LOT instead of shaving cream and it works great. For me it is the closest and best shave. I got a new razor last month. It the Gillet 4 blade micro pulse (i think)...the one that uses batterys and vibrates. I though it was BS, got a good deal on it but i gotta say, its is freaking awesome. Im addicted to it...haha. Feels so good and close. Remember, I have been shaving my legs to since '95 so i got a lot of shaving experience...lol.

[Vypurr]

I used to swim, so I know the shaving legs thing, and conditioner was the way to go for that. You get that weird feeling when you wear long pants right after though! haha

[KingOfDelco]

Barbasol on the face, and just straight soap and water on the old Lt. Dangle.

I might give the lotion thing a try, since my face dries out quickly with the cream.

:confused: wait, you use a razor blade on Lt. Dangle? wow. i just go electric. aren't you worried? that could be dangerous! lol

[C'DALERIDER]

thats true. Electric shavers are ok, but no where as close.
Smoothness......

[poisonivory]

:confused: wait, you use a razor blade on Lt. Dangle? wow. i just go electric. aren't you worried? that could be dangerous! lol


i use a razor too. I've nicked a couple times but nothing serious. You just gotta be careful, as with shaving anywhere. I usually trim with small clippers and then clean it up with razor..lol

and me and my girl had the discussion before. YES, i use a different razor on my twig and berries than I use on my face. lol

[The Captain]

Wow, i could never be brave enough to put a razor near the jewels. Too much to lose, not enough to gain.

[JoeScooby]

The art of shaving; sandlewood shaving cream...
Badger bristle brush
Schick 4 blade some crap.
The art of shaving after shave balm.

I have very sensitive skin; let me tell you... that ish right there is the best. My skin looks smooth, feels smooth, and I am left with 0 raz0r bumbs and or burns.

[NJGOAT]

Jay,

I have pretty sensitive skin too and anyone who sees me everyday can attest that if I can get away with not shaving for a few days I will. I usually use the Gillette sensitive skin gel and the classic Mach 3, but since I've run out of gel I switched exclusively to shave lotion. The one I have now is some crap from Crabtree and Evelyn, but it works great, much better than the gel. Here's my tips:

Always shower before you shave and make sure it's a hot shower. It really softens everything up and puts moisture in your skin.

Use a good lotion. It's good for your skin and you can actually see what you're doing unlike the gel/foam.

Keep your razor clean. You can reuse the blade several times, but you need to clean it out well. Kelly's dad actually has one of those things that cleans and re-sharpens the blades and it really works, so I'm thinking of getting one.

Pick up a good after shave balm and use it after you shave. It helps smooth everything out and keeps your skin hyrdated.

[poisonivory]

aside from hydrating the skin, a nice hot shower (or hot towel as mentioned earlier) also opens up the pores, making it easier to shave with less pulling of your facial hair. It is def a good idea. Even if you don't shower before shaving, the hot towe;/rag idea is a good idea.

[amit]

Also, wait a half hour after you wake up to shave. This gives you time to get the blood flowing through your face. I read that it helps and if it was in a book, it IS true.

[BlkWhtTSI]

i use water

[Kerplunk105]

+1 for using conditioner

[Willdue]

Find out?



Naaaaah :wink:

PM me ;)

[BeautifullyBlued]

Anything with ginseng in it will make it smoother and less irritable on your skin.

EDIT: A great brand - Expose

[BlkWhtTSI]

i feel bad for jackie its just non-stop for her lol

[cburwell]

:confused: wait, you use a razor blade on Lt. Dangle? wow. i just go electric. aren't you worried? that could be dangerous! lol

Not worried. I actually have a much better track record down there then with my face. Electric razors do nothing for me. I get a much closer shave with a regular old blade.

[ScoobyNubieToo!]

I love Skintimate....that **** works pretty well.

[Zillon]

I love Skintimate....that **** works pretty well.

Skintimate is good to use down below.

I use Neutrogena sensitive skin shaving cream on the face, it's not a thick cream like most are. I might have to try this conditioner trick though, my skin's uber sensitive.

[DoubleOughtCel]

I use disposable mach3's, but i shave in the shower with a mirror thats attached to the shower organizer, i shave closer while i'm in the shower. i'll be trying this conditioner trick tomorrow night.

[05 mazda6s]

I actually just got a Gillette Fusion for free in the mail unexpected :bigeek: for my 18th birthday (was last month) and a small thing of Gillette shaving cream. Was using disposable since 14 and this thing is great, the 5 blades feel great

[omgjacki]

PM me ;)

No, you PM me.

i feel bad for jackie its just non-stop for her lol

LOL I'm used to it.

[girlyspeed]

I have this stuff called "coochy" that I got at a "girly" demo and i love it. It must have aloe and lotion in it cause its makes everything feel soft and smooth. It smells like baby powder too!
