poll: what do you use?

[labrat93562]

I was wondering what everyone's prefrence was as far as a shaving cream or whatever. I like to use conditioner because it leaves the skin smooth after shaving.

[FireProf]

Used every method posted!

For my face I use shaving cream. For the rest of my body I use an electric trimmer (I know, not true shaving) and than aloe vera cream on the sensitive parts.

[nakedjohn]

For face, shaving cream, for all other parts, dry.

[baznat]

I'm with nakedjohn on this one. Shaving cream for the face and dry shave everywhere else.

For my face, I use a good shave soap lathered with a brush since I also use a straight razor. For pubic area, I use mach 3 with shaving cream, but I think I am going to try dry with baby powder today.

i have chosen shave cream but have also used hair conditioner (suggested by a friend) and avon skin so soft shave gel. all leave the skin smooth!

[rikkiann]

ive been using hair conditioner for years. It doesnt matter what kind i use the cheapest i can find. It all works better than shave cream for me. Leaves me perfectly smooth and better yet very soft

I usually shave in the shower using shaving foam. (Indoors or outdoors) Occasionally I shave in the sauna - then I'm already quite damp and often use hair conditioner all over my body. Sometimes I will touch up dry.

[tdstorm]

With shaving, I use shaving cream, but that's mainly for the face. My torso, I have waxed until about mid-thigh level. Trim everything else.

I generally used shaving cream follow by Rubbing alcohol....

Yep, its sting like hell, but it prevent any itchiness.

I welcome any recommendation

Thanks

I use shaving gel on my face and conditioner on my other parts with a disposable 3 blade razor.

I use the store brand shaving cream from the local supermarket chain. Paying more for name brand shaving cream doesn't seem to make any difference. I only use a little anyway as I only shave my face.

[Paniga]

I noticed that waxing wasnt on the pol, I think it should be as alot of women and men use that

Happily Hairy Here :D

I ues shaving cream it works best for me and does a good job and keeps things smooth better than anything I have used

I have a fairly heavy beard and sensitive skin (painful combination). This means it's a blood bath when I use a new razor. Here's how I avoid cuts and get a close shave; first I throughly wet my face to soften my beard; second I apply hair conditioner (the really inexpensive stuff is fine) to help soften and lubricate by beard more; third, I apply saving foam and finally, shave. This routine works great for me and really reduces the amount of cuts I have when I use a new razor. The key for me is softening the hair by saturating it with water and the hair conidtioner then lubricating it with the shave cream so the razor glides smoothly over my face. It really works great!

I can relate. I have the same combination (heavy beard/sensitive skin). I have found that using a shaving gel in combination with a shaving brush works best for me. The brush really works the lather in and makes it easier to shave. I do not shave my body--only my face.

On my face (in the shower) I use regular soap; body shaving: shampoo.

Any good lubricant works for shaving. Shaving cream is designed for it, but hair conditioner works very well too - that's what I use when traveling to cut down on things to pack. Barry Goldwater even recommended using peanut butter in a pinch (not chunky!). Soap and shampoo are not particularly good lubricants.

After Shave's purpose is not the smell, it is to disinfect the small cuts and scratches in the skin to prevent infection. Rubbing alcohol works, but I recommend Witch Hazel - it is an effective astringent with almost no odor and absolutely no stinging - it is cool and soothing.

[Zorro]

I always use shaving cream.

[jagers]

I just use the shampoo or soap in the shower. It only take a min while in the shower and I am done. I like to shave every time I show. That means I shave every day. I like to keep smooth.

I think laser is the next step, but the cost is so expensive. I did try waxing but that was fine for two weeks. Not that much fun.

[flnudist]

I'll use soap while in the shower every 2-3 days. (Shaving that is...... I do shower everyday) It seems the most convenient that way. Already there with water and soap.

[eagle59]

ON my face I use a shaving gel and I also shave my head bald so on that large sensitive place I use a lotion especially made for that. If I am in a hurry I will use soap, but it does not work as well and leaves my skin very dried out.

[falkon]

I am using water and shaver with two razors and it's going smoothly.

[listen2me222009]

I use a powder called Magic. It is a depilatory cream. The container says it is only for the face, but I tested it in a small area and I have been using it for a few years.
