Re: Shaving - Do you use cream?
So I don't want to hijack but I am afraid if I start a new thread I'll get bitched at by some "regular" here who says I should put this here...
I haven't seen this yet, but I shave with Cetaphil soap, on the advice of my dermatologist. I shave in the shower, and the cetaphil lets the razor slide nicely without cutting my skin, shaving with just water is kind of rough for me personally. I am constantly dealing with bumps/pustules/pimples/ingrowns on my neck, and it really sucks... The dermatologist says to use a simple single blade Bic, but I use a Mach-3. The bic cuts the [censored] out of me. My hair grows in all different directions, and I know youre not supposed to shave against the grain, but if I don't I miss hairs all over the place. I basically shave my face/neck in every direction to get a nice close shave, and I realize that this is probably causing some of my problems. The cetaphil is supposed to be moisturizing as well, and although I like the shave I get from it, within a couple hours I'll have at least two or three good bumps, sometimes half a dozen within 8 hrs or so. Any suggestions, I'm sure I'm not the only one here with problems like this... should I moisturize more, (if so, what should I use?) any advice will be appreciated. No I'm not gay, but dealing with [censored] like this sure blows big cock.

If I only shave in one direction, it's only smooth in one direction. I didn't even care about this until a girl told me that it was pointy. When I ran my hand over it the other way, yeah it's pretty bad, and having that rub against a girls face can't be the most erotic thing. So I shave every direction to make it really smooth. I don't see why one "shouldn't" shave against the grain anyway.

Re: Shaving - Do you use cream?
There was a time when all I needed was hot water and a relatively fresh razor with a lube strip, and I was golden. Then some [censored] happened, and though my beard doesn't seem to have gotten appreciably thicker in that time, that approach now hurts like hell. So shaving gel FTW.

Re: Shaving - Do you use cream?
I don't shave, my neck/under chin area gets terrible razor burn. I use clippers, trim my beard and mustache to the lowest setting, then remove the shield and touch up to shape things.
So, I always look like I've got a 2 weeks growth beard. A very trim beard seems to suit my face, but then I've had a beard for 15+ years so it's hard to remember what I look like without one.

Shower, classic single blade Bic, no cream. No complaints. [/ QUOTE ] Same here, apart from the shower bit. How do you people shave in the showers? i tried this recently and had no idea what i was doing, it was like shaving blindfolded, it was quite harrowing. I'm assuming you people must have mirrors in your showers right?
