Y'all should put a "things you need to buy to become leet shaver" in the OP.

What/where should I purchase things to attain "the ultimate shave"? I'm also interested in all this lather business, i don't get it.

>i use bic disposable razors and canfoamhax btw [MOG]

note: i'm poor, cheap = gewwwd [Derp]

Yeah I'm like that. Once it gets over 5mm it starts slowing but jesus do I grow that fast XD If I don't shave one day I have a good 3-4mm the next and it looks hell bummy :(

So I had a go with that Fauldings Shave Cream this morning. The lather it gives is only adequate, but the lubrication is great (I used the shavette this time) and the scent is awesome, and very long-lasting.

Well, there's no thread on showering, walking or talking, is there?

It's just an everyday routine... well, every month in my case =_=

Every two to three days for me. I hate shaving so much! I have better things to do in my spare time than shave! [Rage]

Actually, I end each shower with very cold water. I didn't know it was actually a 'thing' until I found this article on AoM: artofmanliness.com/...

"Strengthens immunity. According to a study done in 1993 by the Thrombosis Research Institute in England, individuals who took daily cold showers saw an increase in the number of virus fighting white blood cells compared to individuals who took hot showers. Researchers believe that the increased metabolic rate, which results from the body’s attempt to warm itself up, activates the immune system and releases more white blood cells in response."

no......no it isnt :P

but you shouldnt have a hot shower. just a bit over warm is good otherwise your skin can dry out.
your body wash needs to be good too otherwise that itself can dry it out

btw desi why did you want that mortar to retain heat? i thought you were cold shaving from now on [Shifty]

Okay, people, can you recommend me some good after shaves please? What do you all use? I usually just apply moisturizer right after I finish shaving(or after I get out of the shower, after I shave). Does that help?

I cold shave when using a shavette, but it makes no appreciable difference when I'm using a safety razor. Much less irritation involved with a safety razor.
