Title: Best shave of my experience so far (15th shave)
Post by: JuniorNA on May 19, 2012, 07:29:13 PM
Been shaving for 30 days. About 15 shaves and the best shave came ONLY After I used st Ives apricot scrub (invigorating exfoliant) before a shave. I got the smoothest shave I've ever felt or seen. Smooth all over even when I rubbed hard with absolutely no irritation.

So I figured 2 things


I'm either getting used to it; or it was the apricot scrub that brought the hairs out. It could have been less passes since I'm getting used to it as well.
All in all though , just wanted to share that I'm happy with my first perfect shave (in my opinion of course)

Head slick during, Nivea after shave balm, and bump stopper 2 after that to finalize btw.

Congrats! Isn't it fun experimenting and discovering new things that get you the smooth, shiny head that you seek?

Makes me want to head to the shower now, get out a new blade and shave smooth for Sunday church.

Lol. I agree as well. I shaved again after the first post and got the same close shave as before. It's gotta be the scrub plus getting used to shaving.

 I love it. I think I can finally start shaving in mornings before work without the worry of redness and irritation

You speak my language.

Maintaining that perfect sly look is like a hobby.

Yeah my wife just calls me an OCD maniac cause I'm really into the dome shaving now. I really hope I don't get bored with it and get lazy. The only thing is I have to get better and do it in mornings.

Otherwise , if I shave at night I am not smooth in the morning. (hairy Italian)

I have found that exfoliating is a huge help. I would suggest every other day though to get the best results

Exfoliating before soaping with glycerine soap prepares my head perfectly before a head and face shave.

I love variety in my shave den, and a quality exfoliation is in my every other day routine.

I am definately OCD about being sly, shaving daily at present. My aim is a perfect pate, I'll get there, and enjoy the ride along the way!
