personally, i dont use shaving cream, just dip the razor in some hot water, and go at it, AGAIST THE GRAIN

I used to break out horribly on my neck and chin until I started shaving in the shower. I don't even use cream or gel; just soap, and I wash my face and neck after I'm done shaving to keep my pores clear. Since I started, I never get irritation unless I'm using an old, dull blade. Don't waste your time with cheap razors... buy a good one like Mach 3 or a Fusion (or a straight blade, if you dare). Your face will thank you.

I bet shaving in the shower, the steam is helping to keep your pores open, and so less irritation.

I alternate with the grain and against the grain every time I go to shave. No creams or gels, just water.

start right after you get out of the shower

go with the grain to get most of it, then reapply cream and go against.

touch up sideburns and done.

I swear by this method.

After I shave, I wet my face again with hot water and it really seems to help. I use a fusion power razor and the fusion cream. Start right after the hot shower. Then throw some cologne on (I like FCUK) and I smell nice, look nice, and ready to go on my day.

I've never had shaving cream in the house, and my pop did the same thing..

i dont shave dry, like i said, dip the blade in some hot water, and go for it, down, then up.

It's alot faster and dont have to waste any cash on shaving creams or lotions.

Shave in the shower, not need shaving cream , use the soap bar, shave in a 45o angule , never up.

Dudes,OP has a very sensetive skin,if he shaved w/o any gel or else it'd be his last shave believe me.

I do the hot water thing too. It makes things go quicker and smoother, but I can get by without it.

Wouldn't that fix the problem?

good product there. I shave my head and use edge & a gillette fusion. Anything other than Edge and I have cuts on my head.

Have you tried one of those head razors?? I need to try one.

 

[FL Knifemaker]

I've shaved with just water and it SUCKS. I MUST Have my Edge Gel. Also, a straight razor cuts with little irritation if you don't cut the **** out of yoursef I try to use mine about every third shave and it helps. It just takes more time and concentration.

On a second though,aren't you a knifemaker? Shave with your own knives already.

Every knife I ship will take the hair off your arm without any pressure on the skin. That means it will cut the standing ARM hair. That's still not sharp enough to shave facial hair with because the knife blades edges are too thick. Facial hair is much to coarse and the knife blade would dig in, cutting the skin. Plus, the blades need to be pretty straight. I tried with a VERY sharp hunting knife once..........

Also, DO NOT SHAVE WHEN YOU ARE ANGRY!

Or while still half asleep

 

[ryco]

Persona disposables, Barbersol, hot water.
First shave with grain, then go back against the grain.

Tip: Never move the razor sideways.

What a bunch of wusses.

I shave with a rock.

Well, I'll try this Edge shave gel that you guys are talking about... according to the commercials - I should be jumped by several gorgeous women shortly thereafter.

I just bought this Neutrogena Sensitive skin gel that supposed to prevent razor bumps... so I'll have to try it after that. I'm also going to get a mirror for the shower and try shaving in there - if it doesn't fog up.
