Hi Folks

Just wondering if you find this a bit werid...I like to shave with no shaving foam just water ,i've being doing this for the past 10yrs & my skin is fine, does anyone else go without or am I just a freak?

tbh i dont use water even. its faster. i get the odd spot of irritation if i shave too close but other than that its grand.

WTF no dont do that to yourselves that is some kind of sado stuff.

I have to moisturising Shaving foam or i will end up in a rash

Sposs

Use an electric razor most of the time or sometimes just a blade without water, it doesn't really bother me skin's fine and dandy.

"and how many pints of blood have u lost.........???"

lucky you........

the thought of shaving used to give me a rash....
now i use an electric shaver and life is better no rashes and it takes less time to shave. Also dont have to worry about blades/shaving foam or water i can shave anywhere theres a mirror. Only wish id tried it sooner.

i use just water and never had a problem

tis nice and fast too

Ouch..shaving with just water is bad for me..I use a lovely scented shaving gel that turnes into foam....I would knick my self to pieces with anything else.

I wet shaved for a long time, then used foam for a long time, and recently tryed wet shaving and was in fluting agony.
I dunno if the skin softened up, or the hair got tougher or what.

i dunno, my skin is quite smooth and un-tough
only nick myself if i'm unlucky. i use a gilette mach3...shaves better than others i've tried.

I only really need water if i've let it grow just past stubble really.

have to be hounest, i prefer the sound assistance of foam, if not then it burns, and oh boy does it burn

Little trick i use is dampen the hair first and let it soak for a minute, softens the hair, and that is my secret to the world.

Could be the logic behind all the old westerns when you see the steamy towel around their necks before the shaving begins with that horrid looking straight razor?

Sounds good though.

similar the the above if you wet your face in warm water then lather soap over the area it softens it up ,
then put on the shaving foam over it ,
bestest nicest shave i have ever had is dis way!
