For shaving the last thing you want is for your skin to be tight. It's the same reasn why you wash your face with hot water, then rinse with cold afterwards.

sorry, i thought you meant afterwards.

Brush and cream for me too. Foam gets my vote in the poll though. Gel's for teenagers to remove a bit of fluff!

I use some nivea gel stuff because my skin hurts so much when shaving.

 

[volospian]

Electric here, so neither, but I used to use gel.

Wet is best, but takes longer

'Gillette series Gel' is what I use, put it on and it turns to foam, but says 'gel' on the can, so it must be gel and not foam.

InvG

Yeah, that's the stuff. I do concede it's gel and not foam

Gillette Gel.

Followed by the Nivea after-shave balm. That's when I'm not being lazy and using the electric shaver!

Which ever is available. Using hot water and a fusion is fine. However i have only shaved 3 times in the past 2 years i think.

I prefer a leccy shaver

neither - badger hair brush, plus shave cream.

I got a shaving brush for Christmas. The 'cream' that comes with it is fairly crap. It seems to just dissapear after a while and i end up shaving pretty much without it. It says use a pea-sized amount, i end up putting on much more than that. Can you use a brush with gel/foam?

they're doing it wrong.

you're supposed to wet the brush, then swirl it on the block of cream (it should be in a tub or tin of some sort) untill it has nicely saturated the brush (a thick lather). then apply to face and shave.

Neither, I use a mixture of Taylor Sandalwood shaving soap and shaving cream, lathered up in a bowl with a badger hair shaving brush.

Shaving foams and gels or any goo in a can for that matter is pure crap. It dries out your skin and provides no protection from the blade.

 

[Doonhamer]

Pretty much what Scuzi said.

 

[Glaucus]

Niether. Warm water, after i have got out the shower. Foams = waste of money.

Both, what ever tickles my fancy that day

Same. This is all you need, plus a good razer. I then use a nivea aftershave balm.

 

[iamdjdz]

Tesco value shaving foam, does the trick, shaves as closely as I need and has never caused me any problems.

 

[Admiral Huddy]

Dove Cream bar.. 'cos I'm a womanly man..

Rub it in - smoove shave - works a treat

 

[yaboy]

Foam

Seems more people use gel, never really used it

 

[DanMc07]

A nice clean wet shave in the shower has always done my skin wonders as aposed to anything else, I always get a much smoother shave.
