Used this twice so far and I gotta say I kinda like it. First got this cause my neck thinks I'm black, so I get razor bumps like crazy under there. Anyway, shit STINKS but it works well. You have to take the instructions serious as a heart attack if you don't want chemical burns.

I hear that it's also great for legs, pubes, et al. I'm looking at you, pub.

Basically, it's do-it-yourself Nair, and you get to 'shave' with a spatula afterwards. It's so ghetto that I feel 50% more manly every time I use it.

*it's also like $3 for a tin that has about 50 uses, lol

Is this like poor people drinking powdered milk and eating powdered potatoes?...I think I will stick with my expensive can of lathery foam.

If you guys had any stones you'd shave without even getting the razor wet. And you'd use a folding razor.

MAN UP, SUZIE

Real men don't even use razors. They just pull all the hairs out by hand, individually.

Mostly use an electric but when I use a razor I just use water while in the shower.

I started using mens razors again and it's like night and day. Women's razors are so much better than men's razors that it makes me upset. Why use shaving cream when you can use soap and water?

Where do you buy this shit?

I grow more MAN HAIR than I used to and I'm also having problems with razor bumps.

Probably because I'm using cheap-ass razors with no conditioner strips, but w/e

I tried one of those new venus razors that has the big chunk of solid shave gel around it. It was a nightmare.

Not only did it have this unpleasant "drool" effect as soon as it got wet, but it also made the razor way too cumbersome. I cut myself to pieces.

It was a nice idea, but didn't work for me at all.

Yeah, the reason I don't like getting my razors wet is because they get all slimy from that shit they put on it.

If I could just grow a beard I would :<

Do you use any after shave? My neck will do the same shi* if I don't slap on a good quantity of after shave. Nivea makes some good stuff for guys with sensitive skin, so does Gillette.

I got tired of shaving, so I grew a beard. Now I just occasionally trim it.

If you want to get rid of bumps, massage some baby oil into your beard before shaving. Also, swab the razor with rubbing alcohol or purell to get rid of bacteria.

Yes I've said this before. I'm saying it again as you all obviously didn't get the message. >:

I stopped using shaving cream and now I don't cut myself at all and it's shorter. How the fuck does that work?

I got shaving oil once, as a shaving cream alternative, I wouldn't recommend it.

Welcome to manhood. :fart

Only problem with my method is, when I do trim I get all worried that I'll look like the guy from the Hills for a few days. Even though my facial hair is dark.

i used gillette sensitive skin aftershave for years, same problem ;<

Razor bumps are usually caused by curly beard hair becoming sharp when shaved, then curling back inward after being clipped and piercing the skin again. The baby oil idea isn't bad, though it doesn't seem like it'd do anything that leaving shaving cream on the face for extra time wouldn't do. Aside from that, you aren't really addressing the problem, just an imaginary one that no one is having.

When I do shave, I always cut the crap outta myself no matter what kind of razor. Probably why I stopped shaving my head, those little cuts suck.
