Shaving your face every day is a nuisance. It's also irritating. But there are ways to make it a more pleasant experience.
One way is this:
- Wash your face with hot water to soften the bristles
- Apply a coating of baby oil to your beard
- Cover this with shaving cream
- Shave
You will be amazed at how much better your face feels. The normally dry areas of your face will thank you.
Notes:
- skow reports: "I'm not sure IF it works dude. I mean shaving goes a little smoother, and my skin is actually softer, but I get these strange looks from my housemates when I enter the bathroom with a bottle of baby oil....alone." Err, yes. I can see where that might raise eyebrows. Still, what price comfort, eh?
- unperson says: "I tried this. It's a good trick. Actually, once I started my girlfriend got in the act too. It's a big hit all around."
- To be precise, the exact product I used is called Australian Tanning Oil, but it's mostly baby oil.
