The Fish 11122 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I used to get rashes really badly, I think it might have something to do with the amount of time you've been shaving, how thick the hairs are coming in etc. Now I shave the same as alex and a few others and while it does go a little red, I use Trevor Sorbie aftershave balm as soon as my face is clear of hair and foam, then about five or ten minutes after that I slap on some FC.uk moisturiser. I'm smooth as Swedish Tony and rash free for the rest of the day. I'm lucky in that I can pull of "designer" stubble for a couple of days without it looking scraggily or trampy so I need only shave once every three days or so.

Gemmill 47557 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) I used to get it but I've been fine since I switched to an electric razor. What annoys me though is i cant get to all of the hairs on the neck... so i have to shave them off anyways. What a poo i reckon. Yeah, I only shave my neck on my days off now, for that very reason. I can get all the hairs off, but it takes a while. I just shave my 'tache daily. Eh? So you have a hair-free top lip, but the rest of your face is covered?? What sort of a look is that?

Scottish Mag 3 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Fecking hate shaving, good job in my workplace I can get away with looking like a tramp...

Tom 14022 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Cheap Bic shit and Gillete Foam. Never get shaving rash and i shave everyday. Does that mean im good at it? Dunno. It's damaged your layabout status a bit though. Just had a sainsburys basics pizza, with mint sauce.

TheMoog 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Gillette Sensor Excel with Gilllette Series sensitive foam followed by Nivea aftershave balm, works well for me... though these days I only tend to shave my neck every day. I find it's always best to shave prior to having a shower then putting the balm on when you get out - washes the blood off if there is any and opens the pores enough to help calm things down.

The Fish 11122 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 HERESY! shave after shower so the pores open fully and the hairs are softened. if you shower after the shave the soap suds will get in any knicks or cuts, shirley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if you shower before the shaving mirror gets misty. The secret is to leave the foam on for a short while before shaving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fish 11122 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 or you could leave your window slightly ajar? I'm lucky enough that the bathroom in this house is pretty big, shower in one corner, basin in the opposite. Leavin the foam on a while is a must thogh, I agree. I generally pop the foam on while I'm drying the rest of me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 47557 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Fucking hell lads are you really this fussy about your shaving. I get out the shower, hoy on some shaving gel and do the job. Putting the shaving gel on before you've dried yourself to soften up the hairs. Fucking hell man! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom_NUFC 0 Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I have sensitive skin. What I do is a use some pre-shave stuff to soften my face up. You can get some stuff by the 'Real Shaving Company'. You just wash your face with warm water and then put some of the pre shave stuff around the areas you're shaving and leave it for a few minutes. It makes your face warm. Then you rinse it off and shave as normal, though I use shaving foam/gel for sensitive skin. That usually does the trick, but every now and then it feels quite sore afterwards, and when it does, I put some aftershave balm on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
