hamzie said: "What you’re doing when you steam your face is causing the blood vessels to dilate and the skin to swell slightly. Similarly, “astringents and toners slightly irritate the walls of the pores and make them swell, causing the pores to look smaller,” Baumann explains. But they haven’t actually changed in size."

swordsaint said: seems like the best buy there (not purely cost effective, but cost effective and higher quality) would be to go with the amazon purchases
so a razor, brush and shaving cream is technically all i 'need' to start shaving old school?
that's pretty cool since it only comes to like 63 dollars on amazon. (yeah count on it to be 63, to elaborate I see that number all the ****ing time, so much that its funny.)
I've gone with
www.amazon.com/...
www.amazon.com/...
www.amazon.com/...
after that I just need aftershaaaave. Where can you get that nivea for men stuff? woolies or something easy like that?
also how different is shaving cream compared to shaving soap?
edit: Merge my post please. accident.
DUUUUDE Amazon apparently can't said the razor and the cream to aus wtf.

So the girls here like hair, land cruisers and 12 gallon hats.

abuu91 said: No joke, I know someone with a landcruiser changed over to a 4.2L V8 who keeps a 12 gallon hat in it at all times.

Have you tried shaving AFTER showering? It is basically universally accepted that you should shave after a shower, because the shower softens the beard.
