I don't use any creams or soap, just hot water. And I clog disposable razors (which totally suck anyway), so I use a Gillette with replaceable blades. I find that my old Gillette works better than the new razors with three or four blades, the new ones clog faster and are harder to clean. But. The newer ones are much safer, I can even shave when hung over with the new razors.<br /><br />-BillAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-8035119373807886572013-03-21T21:38:06.142-06:002013-03-21T21:38:06.142-06:00I just shave in the shower.

Its open at the back of the blades and is easy to clean out by letting water pool at my feet and swishing it back and forth. Each razor lasts me for at least a month so its been working out well.<br /><br />I also think the straight blade would be cool, but I am so not shaving my head with one.Double Minded Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01363196425724804810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-41087848200411996572013-03-21T19:18:24.913-06:002013-03-21T19:18:24.913-06:00I use The Art of Shaving soap and a nice badger br...I use The Art of Shaving soap and a nice badger brush.

It is a pain.<br /><br />I buy the cheapo barbasol cream and it seems like a can lasts forever. <br /><br />I've been using the same disposable razors all winter. The thing to remember is they don't go dull from use they corrode. So if you get them clean and rinse with hot water or blow the water off they don't go dull.<br /><br />I might try it.Giraffehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05556306156373942923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22583491.post-11829703908200000492013-03-21T11:49:23.825-06:002013-03-21T11:49:23.825-06:00Interesting.

Newer is better, right?<br /><br />I might just give it a try, now. Thanks for the review.<br /><br />I hating shaving, too, and have managed to whittle it down to twice a week, now (Monday and Thursday).WaterBoynoreply@blogger.com
