| Author | Topic: Shaving for men |
| benzapp 11-17-2002 11:15 PM | I see such wonderful insights for ladies on cleansing those beautiful faces... but nothing on how best to go about shaving one's face for the men here. I no longer use soap to cleanse my face, but despite my best efforts with cucumber juice and even olive oil, I have yet to fine a suitable replacement to the old can of shaving cream. Occasionally, I do see olive oil soap, but it is rather expensive. Cheapskate that I am, I won't spend $5.00 on a bar of soap unless I am certain it will be of some benefit. Have any other gents here found any nice and pure alternative to shaving creams or soaps? |

It leaves about 1 millimeter of hair behind, so it doesn't irritate your skin. Luckily, my employer doesn't mind that I always walk around with a '3 days beard'. Is that an option for you? |
| julian farah 11-19-2002 03:01 PM | Hi Ben, I use to shave while Iīm having a bath, turn off the water and spreading a lot of shampoo foam in my face, it doesnīt irritate the skin and itīs better than any shave cream, besides itīs free, just need a mirror inside your bathing place. Julian |
