wii.mmgn.com/... Well the old Shick add thread got converted into a general discussion about shaving so lets start fresh with a new discussion. For some reason the discussion of shaving got a lot of people involved.

LMA0 said: I have sum spanish genes in me thats why its easy for me to get a Pedro Sanchez moustache. It only took 5 days to grow



that takes only 5 days?

i wonder if you left it for a month :E
it just slows down growing after 5 days.
Y'all should put a "things you need to buy to become leet shaver" in the OP.

What/where should I purchase things to attain "the ultimate shave"? I'm also interested in all this lather business, i don't get it.

>i use bic disposable razors and canfoamhax btw [MOG]

note: i'm poor, cheap = gewwwd [Derp]
Farrrk it's Easter tomorrow, no doubt all the pagan stores are closed?

LMA0 said: it just slows down growing after 5 days.


Yeah I'm like that. Once it gets over 5mm it starts slowing but jesus do I grow that fast XD If I don't shave one day I have a good 3-4mm the next and it looks hell bummy :(
So I had a go with that Fauldings Shave Cream this morning. The lather it gives is only adequate, but the lubrication is great (I used the shavette this time) and the scent is awesome, and very long-lasting.
i never thought i'd see the day when there would be a thread on shaving :3
Why are people so surprised? @_@

Well, there's no thread on showering, walking or talking, is there?

It's just an everyday routine... well, every month in my case =_=
Every two to three days for me. I hate shaving so much! I have better things to do in my spare time than shave! [Rage]

Actually, I end each shower with very cold water. I didn't know it was actually a 'thing' until I found this article on AoM: artofmanliness.com/...
"Strengthens immunity. According to a study done in 1993 by the Thrombosis Research Institute in England, individuals who took daily cold showers saw an increase in the number of virus fighting white blood cells compared to individuals who took hot showers. Researchers believe that the increased metabolic rate, which results from the body’s attempt to warm itself up, activates the immune system and releases more white blood cells in response."

I lol'd

Ha! I didn't see that. What do white blood cells have to do with the shiver reflex? :P
So what you quote Hamzie, that isn't true? :P

I always have hot showers, somedays I have cool showers. Never have cold showers. X_X

Matteh said: So what you quote Hamzie, that isn't true?

no......no it isnt :P

but you shouldnt have a hot shower. just a bit over warm is good otherwise your skin can dry out.
your body wash needs to be good too otherwise that itself can dry it out




btw desi why did you want that mortar to retain heat? i thought you were cold shaving from now on [Shifty]
I see, well, I like my hot showers. [Shifty]

Okay, people, can you recommend me some good after shaves please? What do you all use? I usually just apply moisturizer right after I finish shaving(or after I get out of the shower, after I shave). Does that help?

hamzie said: btw desi why did you want that mortar to retain heat? i thought you were cold shaving from now on


I cold shave when using a shavette, but it makes no appreciable difference when I'm using a safety razor. Much less irritation involved with a safety razor.
You should shave after you shower......but whatever you use cartridges not like itll even make a difference :P

No actually it will. shave after you shower
and then buy an aftershave balm nawt a splash

nivea for men aftershave balm is what i use
but proraso aftershave balm is kewl too

I use Redwin facial moisturiser, then splash on some Cussons Imperial Leather aftershave!
