Hi all: Just a quick update on my "situation." My shave today, for the first time, was almost nick and cut free, even against the grain. Based on the suggestions provided, I started to: 1) Shave in the shower, 2) Use a better shaving cream (HeadSlick), 3) Use the apricot exfoliator as a pre-shave ritual, 4) Use an after-shave moisturizer (BaldGuyz), and 5) Use baby oil as a lubricant under the shaving cream. I was actually very surprised about that last one...the baby oil seemed to really help and made for a much smoother shave (although I am sure also it was a combination of all of the above that has greatly improved the shaving process).
Anyways, I am so thrilled to finally be getting the hang of this. It's a big thumb in the eye to my bad genes that caused this early hair loss :-) This forum has also been a lifesaver -- what did people do before the Internet, anyways?
