It sux so fucking bad.

It never worked, it still doesn't work, even the fancy expensive stuff sux

Plain old hot water works better.

A mixture of cocoa butter and aloe moisturizer with a water pat down works even better.

Girly or Boy shave. Gell, and Foam shaving cream, stearic acid, and shaving brushes fail.

Aveeno Positively Smooth works p good and it smells like oatmeal cookies. The key to a great shave though is a hot towel for 10 minutes or so beforehand. Also shaving first-thing in the morning is generally not good practice since most people have some minor inflammation/ swelling of their skin. Wait an hour or so for your body to re-absorb all that water and your skin to tighten.

Plus wash face first, gentle exfoliation, hot towel, beard softener or moisturizer. Also the more blades you use actually increases friction. Don't use those bullshit razors, be a real man and use a single edged blade or one of the old school "safety razors", the kind where you twist off the top and replace the double edged blade. You have to use shaving soap and a proper brush to lather up.

Yeah all that after a quick shower and face is raped. The safety razors are ok. But I feel my fiberglass face just wrecks them entirely after one pass.
