TO "b" or NOT 2 "b"...that is my question...
« on: April 27, 2009, 09:25:05 PM »
hello fellow chrome domes:  just wondering, do U use a brush when shaving your dome?  i was at CVS about a couple of hours ago & i almost purchased a shaving brush (just 2 try out) but didn't.  i'm thinking about trying a shaving brush in the near future.

so... how 'bout U?  do U use a shaving brush when scraping your dome?  yes?  no?  sometimes?  or thinking about it?  what's your story?

I use one, in addition to a cake of shaving soap with a squirt of mentholated headslick, takes a bit of effort to work up epic lather, but its worth it every time O0

If you don't use a shaving brush then you must be a rookie. ;D ;D
No seriously how can someone not use one?  You don't know what you are missing.

I use a brush some when I use BaldGuyz gel or Headslick.  Most of the time I shave with Shave Secret oil only and that will not work with a brush.

I use KofS gel, and I don't think that would work with a brush!  However, if I used soap or cream I might be tempted to try it. O0

Definately, really works the Headslick into a foam.  On the road, I pack a cake of shaving soap and it really works nice w/ the brush.  Brush also saves the amount of Headslick you have to use.  Highly reccomend you try, and if you try I think you'll also be a brush guy.

I'm converted to the brush.  Never used one for years, but after getting feedback here from when I posted my shave routine initially, I thought I'd give it a try.  Really like it.

I use a brush and it works great for reasons I've stated before. Also...... the brush DOES work great with gels. I've used it with SlyBaldGuyz shave gel.

A brush has become an absolutely essential part of my shave routine. It works so well, so so well. And as Saint said, it really does turn the HeadSlick into a nice foam. For those who haven't used it I highly recommend giving it a spin.  O0
