Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

Even though X2 is the self-proclaimed neighbourhood fraudiya, but maybe he can make a video demonstration of his elaborate ritual and post it here.

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

are you ladies saying us men need to open up pores before shaving? :O

anyway i was kidding :P

but i dont really understand the need for a hot towel, a splash of warm water does the same thing, dun it?

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

normally go for the stubble look. But I do shave for big occasions. I normally steam my face for 10 minutes then stick on the shaving gel, and shave but i do it twice over for extra thoroughness. Stick on some CK after shave balm and viola.

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

yeah.....I suppose hot water would do the same thing but the hot towel is the luxurious way, no?

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

The warm towel compress makes the hair cuticle softer too which makes shaving easier! Exfoliation is a must to get rid of all the 'dead' skin cells as well...

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

Muzna, I shave exactly like your brother. I used to be the mach 3 or fusion guy but its just really tedious and dull. And he is absolutely right. Shaving can be turned into a moment of self indulgement rather than a rushed, necessary activity.

X2, thank youu! A guy here that makes a ritual out of his shaving rather than a tedious chore. I only recently ditched the mach 3s for an old school safety razor, with the whole badger hair brush with your shaving soap, I don't think I will ever look back. I may try the straight razors one day when I get the courage to.

But your entire ritual sounds very refreshing and a really good routine. I have never tried the warm towel to the face but I think I definetly will next time. I also need to get my hands on some preshave oils and some after shave moisturisers.

Shaving should always be a ritual thing but has become far too casual and more of a chore. I always look forward to my shaves now.

I am glad somebody has time to pamper themselves.

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

what I don't understand is the need to run the freakin' tap.......CONSTANTLY......while hubby is shaving......he says he needs it.....I say turn it on and off.....he says that's annoying.....really?

29

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

yes that would be annoying ontop of your annoying requests to turn the tap off.

Razor in one hand, the other hand is used to apply pressure to the skin in certain areas around the face and under chin to get a good shave. Maybe your hubby can learn to turn off the tap with his foot.

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

shaving IS exfoliation.

and warm towel vs. actual warm water on the hair - i bet the second is more effective. the right answer is, the towel stays warm longer, if you splash water, it goes cool in a couple of seconds.

tsk tsk :snooty:

jawab pata tha tou poocha kyon? :emmy:

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

Or one can skip all this BS and just shave after taking a hot shower, when the hair is still soft, good enough to give you a smooth clean shave without taking too much time. Also "good enough" is using Nivea cream after shaving, so that you don't get razor bumps...Good luck to all others who want to consume more time in the bath room than their wives.

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

do women keep the tub running during the shaving ritual of their legs?

34

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

hmmm......thanks, I will make that suggestion.......how long did it take you to master this technique....perhaps I can set some expectations....

perhaps someone else could answer as I'm more of a waxing kinda gal.....

35

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

That depends on if they have more hair on their legs than their husbaands. :hehe:

36

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

LOL.

You just dissed the resident metro who is popular with the ladies for his impeccable grooming habits. Tsk. Tsk.

Also you could skip the Nivea aftershave nakhra and just splash on some organic Apple Cider Vinegar for some 'wake-me-up' freshness.

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

I rather be a cave man… shaving --I hate it-- I love my trimmer :sunnyboy:

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

BTW, I never do ulti shave except when I have to put on make-up
when I go out for a night on the town in my wife's dress and stilettos.

Oops. Wrong forums !

Re: Shaving. CMON MEN

I wonder how many girls here shave their mustaches instead of bleaching them...
