hello fellow chrome domes: as U know i've discovered a new "product" 2 add 2 my routine that i discovered a couple of weeks ago @ the barbershop. anyways...i'm doing a one week review that i will call WARHAWK's ALCOHOL REVIEW and no paulie its not the alcohol that u drink.
it's the rubbing alcohol. anyways... here is how i incorporate the rubbing alcohol 2 my routine:
memo: during this review: i will B shaving my dome (independently) in the shower since most of U are shower shavers. dang... i'm going 2 miss my wifey shaving the dome. the suffering and pain that i will experience just 2 do my review.
1 jump in shower and wet noggin' w/ hot water
2 apply shave secret oil 2 dome
3 apply headslick on dome (let sit 1 minute)
4 generously spray rubbing alcohol (using a small spray bottle) 2 dome GENEROUSLY (let sit for 1-2 minutes)
5 start shaving
6 cold water rinse
7 pat dry w/ towel
8 ice cube rub
9 pat dry w/ towel
10 apply witch hazel or clear aloe vera gel
11 let air dry
12 rinse razor & spray rubbing alcohol 2 razor
13 self head rub
14 big cheesy grin after self head rub
anyways... that's my routine that i started this morning. i'll give U my final review on the rubbing alcohol after one week. as of now... adding the rubbing alcohol has given me one of the closet shaves ever. i hope that U will experience the same.

I'm thinking maybe the alcohol tightens the skin?

Think it helps keep the blades free from buildup. I've been dipping the HB in alcohol before each pass and it makes the shaving slick as a seals bottom.

I figured the alcohol would dry out the skin. Plus I thought the alcohol was usually used as a post shave to close pores? Wouldn't it close the pores and not give as close of a shave? But I guess if it's working then go for it.

I tried it this morning and my head was really dry.....so I resorted back to the aloe vera gel.

timmy: the rubbing alcohol dried your skin?? it shouldn't dry out your skin unless U didn't finalized your routine with the aloe vera gel? if U view my routine... i incorporated the rubbing alcohol b4 i scraped the dome not as a final step.
