Another product that is hard to find these days is round shaving mug soap.  I used to buy it at Walmart and CVS.  Neither of these stores in my neighborhood carry it now.  I did find it at Walgreens.

WOW I HATE REPEAT HATE the shine and am totally amazed by you guys?? Do you like a woman's face shinny? I seriously doubt it and the six head is just an extension of the forehead! I think it looks rediculous to walk around with a bright shinny head and much more suttle and cool to have a tan matte finish.

To each his own no doubt but you can KEEP THE SHINE to yourself in my book cause it looks :*)) :*))

I agree, shine is good,   
What some of the thinkgs everyone use to make it shine?   Always interested in making something good, better.
I use a  light oil, Neutrogena Body oil is about the best I think,  and sometimes I'll combine that with Keri Body Lotion.

I don't understand this post at all.  What's "shinny" got to do with the price of potatoes?     ??? ??? ???

Shinny (also shinney) is an informal type of hockey played on ice or the street. There are no formal rules or specific positions, and generally, there are no goaltenders. The goal areas at each end may be marked by nets, or simply by objects, such as blocks of snow, stones, etc. Bodychecking and lifting or "roofing/reefing/raising the puck" (shooting the puck or ball so it rises above the ice) are often forbidden because the players are not wearing protective equipment. It may also be called pick-up hockey, pond hockey, street hockey, road hockey, or "outdoor puck". Shinny is a game that all levels of hockey enthusiasts can play because it requires no rink, requires no skills except ability to hold a stick and at the very least to try to touch the puck or ball when it goes by. Shinny may be completely non-competitive and recreational - scoring irrelevant - or competitive and scores kept.

much more suttle
You may be many things, but subtle you're most definately not. For you not standing out is probably a reasonable choice. >:D

I prefer the matte look on myself, but see a lot of sly guys pulling off the shiny look and really rocking it.  Maybe it's because I have very dark hair (just not a lot of it) and my shadow is a natural predator of the shine?....

You know what - I'll give the shiny look an honest try tomorrow... why not!  8)

I find that shine reduces the appearance of shadow more than matte.

A shine is fun becasue you can keep or lose it depending on your mood. I think it helps hide imperfections and any shadow. I have a darker shadow so I like the shine. Many bald guys shine naturally even if they dont shave. What is fun is to see how shiny I can make it. I may try carwax next.
