Title: Edge Gel
Post by: Razor X on September 30, 2012, 08:17:45 PM: I have been draining - literally - a bottle of Headslick all week, intending to buy a new one over the weekend. I forgot all about it yesterday and today I took a day off from shaving. I finally remembered late in the day while I was doing some other chores, but by that time the local CVS was closed. I was in the supermarket and had to get something for tomorrow morning's shave, so I picked up a small can of Edge Gel. I noticed that Dana White of the UFC was pictured on the can. Gilette has never marketed any of their products specifically to head shavers, as far as I know, but this looks like they may be finally trying to get a piece of this niche of the market. It definitely lends credence to the argument that sly has gone mainstream.

I have never tried shave soap. What kind would you recommend and where might one find it?

I love the RazoRock shave soaps. Mike's Naturals soap is also very nice.

Post by: theman on October 02, 2012, 03:50:08 PM: I have tried about everything over the last 12 years, and finally have been shaving my head, and face at the same time using VAN DER HAGEN ! It has a Black Cup, Black Brush, great soap smells good and it is a good hot shave you feel refreshed. I then have found I have the best luck with Fusion Razors and blades. After the shave take a good shower and put on some fufu and ready to rock and roll. Mainly rock in my chair ;D

Post by: clarinetguy on October 02, 2012, 07:04:59 PM: I still prefer Headslick as the Edge gel does not give me a close enough shave and yes stubble is an issue earlier in the day.
