Clueless about shaving
kingchi...@hotmail.com (King Chiron)
8/20/2003 1:32:20 PM
I'm a man in my mid–30s and while I've been shaving for more than 15
years I'm a bit clueless about how to get a really good shave. I do
know that you're supposed to wet your face with warm water for a few
minutes prior to shaving. I generally use shaving cream with a Mach 3
razor (love it).
For most of my face this works just fine. But there are sections on
my neck that don't look quite shaved and when I go over those areas
multiple times I end up looking red and splotchy and not good.
I've heard that you should go with or against the grain or something
like that. I understand the issue of grain, but I don't know how to
figure out which way it's running and if I should be shaving against
or with. I assume this is what is meant when people talk about
shaving up or shaving downwards on different parts of the face, but
again, clueless.
Help!
And thanks in advance.

Since nobody else has actually addressed your question:

1. Wash your face well with a facial cleanser
any 'ol soap is fine. the more basic the better.
2. Use a facial scrub (Nivea makes one you can get at the drugstore). You
don't need to do this every shave, but every other shave is a good place to
start. YMMV.

4. Use a decent shave lotion or cream. Work it in, don't pat it on in big

Keils makes some great creams you can get at better department or specialty
stores. You may need a cream for sensitive skin.

Oddly enough, I've noticed recently Gillette introduced a three–blade
version of the Sensor cartridges. It's easy to see the demand for them, as
Mach3 is a bit pricey in comparison (Mach3 comes in 4, 8 and 12 packs
versus Sensor 5, 10, and 15 packs, and a 4–pack of Mach3 carts is easily $1
or so higher than a 5–pack of Sensor). I still swear by Mach3 (I'm now even
using the Mach3 Turbo cartridges, which is –– I think –– the most expensive
product Gillette makes).

my mom's). Now I swear by them and wouldn't switch back for anything.
Oddly enough, I've noticed recently Gillette introduced a three–blade
version of the Sensor cartridges. It's easy to see the demand for them, as
Mach3 is a bit pricey in comparison (Mach3 comes in 4, 8 and 12 packs
versus Sensor 5, 10, and 15 packs, and a 4–pack of Mach3 carts is easily $1
or so higher than a 5–pack of Sensor). I still swear by Mach3 (I'm now even
using the Mach3 Turbo cartridges, which is –– I think –– the most expensive
product Gillette makes).

Someone finally mentioned the best way. Strait razor. Forget the shave cream
in the cans. A good shaving soap beats any of them. Yu can mix it to the
consistency you want and, using the brush, work it into the beard well.

I have a notion that this may help 2 ways. One soothing the face, the
other making the blade stiffer.
Alternatively, the electric wet–shave razors are quite nice, and I use
that most of the time now, except if I skip a day.
