Shaving Preferences?

- Mach 3 Turbo
- Kiehl's Close Shavers Squadron Ultimate Brushless Shave Cream
- Neutrogena's Razor Defense™ Shave Gel

I dig the smell of the Neutrogena, and tried to find a good smelling gel rather than the typical gel in a can stuff. The Neutrogena isn't as smooth and more susceptible for razor burns than the Keihls. It's 5 bucks for a tube instead of ~14 for the Keihls.

So what do you prefer?




And if you are thinking of something else... feel free to answer the question, but keep it work safe please. =)

 

Mach 3 Turbo
"The Art of Shaving" sandalwood shaving cream
Pure badger hair shaving brush
After shave (BALM) gets rotated between: Emporio Armani, Burberry Weekend, Ceasar's (got it in Vegas; liked the scent in the spa, but hardly use it), and Kenneth Cole

I either do it right after a hot shower or I put a HOT washcloth on my face to prep it. After shaving, I immediately use a cold washcloth on my face and then apply after shave balm. It feels so good.

I love shaving.

 

Okay, let's start a new section called "Sharing Advice/Tips for Metrosexuals". Use a sharp knife and cold water. The only 5reference to shaving should be from Dave M. - men have the strangest requests.

 

that came to mind when posting this thread. =)

 

Moisture is the key!

Apply HOT towel (opens pores)
E-shave (Lanolin)
Mach 3 Turbo (only choice for me)
Rinse (tepid water)
Cool towel (closes pores)
Alum Block (tightens skin / helps with the occasional nick)

Where'd you get the alum block? I can't find one anywhere...

 

The Alum Block can be found at

theartofshaving.com

its under shaving products

 

I shave in the shower with a Mach 3 turbo...............just lots of water and I shave REALLY SLOWLY going with the grain. If you have tough skin gels, etc, and such are not really required IMHO. Frankly.............it's just another expense and too much hassle.

Afterwards I use an aluminium block and then apply the appropriate scent of "panty remover" if required.

 

Love the Mach 3. Yes, moisture first. I use an aloe formula shave cream and Hugo Boss Balderasini (sp?) conditioner.

Has anyone used a new Quattro 4 blade razor yet?

 

Hot water and a Mach 3/Schick Extreme 3. Less messy.

Good Post!

I only shave after a hot shower.
Clinique Face Scrub to prep the skin
Rinse (hot water)
Clinique M Shave Aloe Gel
Gillette Mach 2 (I think I'm the only person who doesn't like the Mach 3!)
Rinse (hot water)
Clinique Post Shave Healer.

art of shaving stuff works bigtime

 

You guys are watching way too much Queer Eye, switch to the speed channel already!

 

eh, no, not really. I just thought of it this morning when I decided not to shave because I was the only one going to be up here at work today.

but queer-eye or not, still some good tips in here. I wasn't aware of the Alum Bar.

 

Neiman-Marcus (Needless-Markup)

Awesome, thanks.

The store that I buy the Art of Shaving stuff from didn't have them went I went last time... never thought to check out their website, and Neiman-Marcus didn't even come close to crossing my mind.

 

Art of Shaving

My wife bought me some for my birthday this past October and it is the best stuff I have ever used. I have tried everything form Edge to Kiehls-sp? I have very sensitive oily skin and I have never had a closer and more pain free shave than the one I am getting right now. My wife bought me these items:

1) Pre-shave oil-A must for sensitive skin and for those who get razor bumps.

2) Shave cream with brush-the brush lifts the hair and makes it easier to shave closer without re-shaving over and over.

3) After shave balm or gel-sooths and helps against razor burn and bumps.

They also have an alum block...

The staff is very helpful in finding what products work best for your skin. I also use their shampoo and conditioner-great stuff as well. They have a store here in Dallas that I would like to go to, in the meanwhile I buy it at Neiman Marcus.

There is also Jack Black-I prefer the Art of Shaving

Best regards,
Marcus

 

Mach 3 turbo and WalMart shaving Gel for myself to get my baby smooth skin just like my girlfrind likes

None of this Metrosexual Queer Eye BS for myself.

 

It's all about feelin good.

 

Nair for Men.

Stopped watching the Queer Guys after they dissed a Fila Factory Ferrari F1 patched vest found in one of their victim's closets...no clue as to what is was or represented.......

 

Mark, my wife was watching it last night and they were chewing some guy because he HADN'T worn the vest! I guess they bought it for him and he didn't like it.

 

Mach 3 Turbo

three different gels, one at a time from gillete. I love being 15!

agianst the grain is the only way.

 

Edge
Personna 8 pack - 99 cents.
Lasts 4 times longer than other blades, never nicks, gets smoother with each use instead of vice-versa & I've got a tough beard.
{> "Grrrr."

 

I hate to frickin shave. I'm down to about once every five days, which obviously perpetuates the dilemma. I use the Neutrogena cream and after shave. It's good, I guess (wife bought it for me), but not as easy to use as the lotion. My skin's not sensitive, so it's all much ado about nothing, really. I had a barber shave me once with a straight razor and I almost freaked out. When he put the blade to my neck it made my hair stand on end. Too many "mob" movies, I guess.

 

I'm with Gilles27, I hate to shave. There was once in my life where I had to shave everyday for work, now I shave a couple, maybe 3, times a week. But I don't like to look "dirty" either, so I shave a few times a week. My wife likes a little scruff, so I can get away with not shaving for a few days if I feel like it.
