Shaving Facial Hair - Page 5

I use a fusion, too. Just changed after 30 years of the same thing.
I just open my mouth and go right around the hole. Ain't no thing.
I stick it in my ears and up my nose, too. Works pretty good.
Hey, on the back of the five blade side there is a single blade. That might help.

Black Dog, Congrats on joining us wet shavers. Once you use is let me know how you like the slim. I have a Fatboy that does nothing for me I'm not really a fan of the Gillette Twist To Open heads I think they are to big and bulky for me. My Super Speed and Lady Gillette is a little better but not much. The Merkur 39C is my daily razor.

I gave my strop to my uncle, so now I need to buy another one. Forgot they were a little pricey when I was being so generous. He was excited, though, so it was worth it.

Started using Tabac cream and have liked it so far...

Well I've been shaving for about a week now with the new DE stuff, and so far haven't cut off my head. Actually, it's been going really well. No cuts, a few weepers, and a nice smooth face. So far it's been enjoyable to shave with the DE gear, soap and brush.

One thing I've found that's nice: Nivea Extra Soothing Balm / Sensitive Skin. Most Walgreen, Revco, CVS type drugstores carry it for about $6.50 per bottle. It's very soothing on the face, and has no alcohol. I hate the burn from alcohol based aftershaves.

I have been using the Nivea shave balm recently works great. Also I just started using a Mama bears soap called Awakenings Glycerin Shave Soap 100% Natural
100% natural soap with Peppermint, tea tree and menthol... Not for the faint of heart.... Love it as a change of pace but Tabac is still my go to shave cream.

I am so jealous of you guys that can shave with soap.I have very hard water and soap just doesn't work for me. A water softener is on the list but unfortunately there are other more important things on the list too.

Commander, our water is both softened and filtered. Once you have soft water you'll wish you had made the jump sooner. It's much nicer for washing, shaving, bathing, etc. It's also much better for your home's plumbing.

There was one in the house before I bought it but the house was not properly winterized and the head cracked, I don't know if it's even worth fixing or just replacing the whole thing, right night it's been disconnected and is sitting in my basement.
