Okay...crazy idea. Basically a thread to post something that could be helpful to the next person. Anything really....

I'll start off.

Even if you shave after showering, wash your face, especially the part where you shave with warm water. I usually shave before I shower...and ever since I started soaking my face with warm water for 2 min....I hardly get any razor burns.

Speaking of shaving. If you want to keep your blades sharper, longer, use hair conditioner, not shaving cream. Cheaper too.

If you want to keep your marriage happier, longer, clean the sink out when you're done.

If it's too uncomfortable for you to look a person in the eyes, stare at the spot between their eyes. They can't tell the difference. You will now win every single stare down you take part in.

1. Shaving cream is over-rated, soaking in warm water is key. after warm water even soap will work fine.

2. If you have an expensive house, only list it from March - May.

Shaving in the shower itself is best. I never, ever get razor burn, and you get a smooth, close shave.

I might miss a spot like... once in every 10 shaves now, so no mirror needed.

Many people write Global Warming off on humans and say that if we were to change our habits it would cease to exist. This is false, while humans may add to the problem it is also a natural cycle caused by many factors. These may include lightning storm induced forest fires, eruption of volcanoes, snow flakes reflecting sun light on the polar ice caps, and the degredation of sedimentary rock from coastal floods.

The next time somebody gets in your face about global warming, ask them what they have done to stop mother nature from hurting itself.

Do you use conditioner then, or do you still use shave gel?

Personally I don't use any. I heat the blade up with the hot water, and shave under the flow.

Hmmm...I'll try that. I don't get razer burn as is....but a closer shave would be good.

In my experience, the Gillette fusion razer is not as good as the green one with 3 blades.

I went and bought a Fusion and 16 blades from Costco, and didn't realize the price until I got to the till...84 dollars. I promptly returned that.

I'm in your camp as well.

Haven't bought shaving cream or gel in 15 years.

things to know: just because you see a waitress doing it, grabbing a burning candle-holder without testing to see how hot it is is a bad idea. also, if you do grab it and it hurts like a mofo, drop it immediately and not just place it back onto the table because you dont want it to shatter.

then again, this is also a good way to get a girl to feel sorry for you and invite you back to her apartment "to get it taken care of".

Don't try and grab a drink off a waiter/waitresses tray.

Also, when you're done shaving, apply a cool, damp towel to your face. It will close your pores, make your shave look closer and make your complexion look better.

I don't ever use aftershave, either. Once in a blue moon. Dries out your skin.
