Using your shaving oil?
« on: October 02, 2008, 05:14:47 PM »
So.. I got this quick question for you all brothers who use shaving oil of some sort to scrape ur domes..  O:O

When you are done, how do u deal with your dome (this time more like oil left overs) ?
Do you wash ur dome after shaving with oil, or do you just rinse it off?
Also any other tips from u bros to use these oils properly would be greatly appericiated  :)

Thnx ya All!  O0

PS. Maybe not that short post anyway  :px

Cold water rinse then Nivea Shave Balm works great for me O0

I use the oil and then apply the headslick on top of it....the combination of both give me a much closer shave....rinse with cold water....apply witch hazel ....and then the Nivea after shave balm...

Cold water rinse, then Head Lube from Headblade is what I use.  Sometimes instead of the Head Lube, I'll use five drops of the shaving oil (Shave Secret) on my shaved head to keep it from getting dry.  That works too.

I just use the cold water rinse and sometimes ice cubes.  Nothing else.

I honestly don't use anything other than water on my dome.  I found that my sensitive skin just does better without the use of soaps or detergents.  So it is just water and shave oil, with a bit of shave gel on top.

I'm a little late here, but I've been using Shave Secret (Shaving oil) for about 4 months now. My routine is: Exfoliate, rinse off, oil up noggin and face, shave. Exfoliate again in shower, then wash head with soap.  Cold water rinse for noggin, then slather on a bunch of witch hazel, and let that air dry. After that I sometimes put a little more Shave Secret on, if I want that extra little bit of shine on the noggin, and it does make a nice skin conditioner.
