Title: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: jusbnme on June 24, 2007, 07:17:52 PM: What's up my sly bros? Just thought I'd share this new part of my routine with ya'll. It was first mentioned, I believe, by one of our sly bros named "Straight razor." I came across his old post about using ice cubes on the dome after shaving before applying an aftershave lotion/cream/etc...So a few days ago I gave it a try. I took a cup of ice cubes into the bathroom with me before I got into the shower. I did the usual shave rinsed off with a little cold water and then went to the sink. I took an ice cube and rubbed it all over the dome until it melted away. I then repeated this with a few more cubes until I felt the dome was irritation free. Man!!! let me tell you, it was the best feeling as I was rubbing the cubes across the dome. You can actually feel your pores tightening up and I don't know about ya'll but after a hot shower I'm really heated up. Talk about a nice cool down. That method rocks. I don't even use any post shave alcohol or ClearHead. Nothing like that. I had stopped using it previous to this routine anyway but what I'm saying is that the ice cubes get rid of pretty much all irritation so there is no need to use anything else which might dry the scalp up. After I'm finished with the ice cubes I just apply a little HeadLube and I'm good to go. Or just apply whatever aftershave product ya'll use. Give it a shot. It's awesome. Thanks for the advice and info Straight razor. O0

Naw man. As a matter of fact it makes it feel real good. Depending on how sensitive you are I guess it could create a numbing effect or may even be almost too much to handle because of how cold it is. But like I said, I'm so heated up after taking such a hot shower, which is where I shave, that the cubes feel good to me. Give it a try. I always start at the back of the dome around the neck line because that's where I get most of my irritation then I work my way up towards the front of my head.

Post by: Professor Melon on June 25, 2007, 04:57:49 PM: :/ Ahoy, Lance. I'm going to try the ice, both because it sounds bracing and because I think it might reduce the bump [keloid] formed after my recent fall. Any observation, Medic? Professor Melon

RazorX also joked about it taking more time but it really doesn't take much more time at all. I'm not talking about giving yourself an ice massage, making love to the cubes, or anything like that. ;D Just take 1 or 2 cubes and rub them around on your head for a few minutes. I usually only use 2. It might take me 1 or 2 minutes if that. It probably takes just about the same amount of time that it would take you to run you head under cold water for a few minutes. If I'm not in a rush I might use a few extra cubes because the more you use the better it feels and makes it that much cooler on the dome. But just 1 or 2 will do the job.

Post by: jusbnme on June 26, 2007, 03:50:34 PM: Glad some of you found it helpful. To those who didn't like it, like I said when I brought it up, to some it may be a little too intense because some people are more sensitive to different things. Me, I can go outside in shorts and a tee shirt when it's like 45 or50 degrees outside and think it feels good. It's just my body chemistry. I always run a little hotter than most people. The way I usually explain it to people is that I can sweat when I blink. ;D
Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: SLYinKC on June 26, 2007, 05:06:45 PM: Hey Lance, thanks for the post. I'm still trying to decide whether I thought that It helped or not. But it really did give me a brain freeze. Not sure whether I'll try it again or not. Like you said, it may not be for everybody. I'm a sink shaver, so I have been just pouring cold water on my head from the sink. Kinda of messy, but so were the ice cubes. At least its only water. ;D

Yeah, I will admit it does have a weird feeling going over your head. The real freaky thing is since your dome conducts a lot of heat some times you can hear the cubes crackling as they melt. I've noticed that it really helps my neckline a lot. On the back of the neck as well as under the chin after face shaving. The one main thing that I noticed, it does for me anyway, is that using the cubes helps close the pores very well which keeps my dome smoother longer. I'm guessing that what is doing it anyway. Because before I used the cubes I noticed the stubble would come back in faster.

I wanted to try a full week to see if it really made a difference or not. Then it occurs to me, I'm the only one in the office and there's a refrigerator with ice. Sure am glad nobody walked in at that moment. Sure hope the water on my shirt dries before the rest of the office gets here. Is that obsessed or just weird?

In fact, it was sort of invigorating. :o

Post by: BaldBearMA on July 03, 2007, 06:58:48 PM: I keep a wet hand towel in my freezer - then after I shave, I put it over my head and pat it all over - - this lasts for about 5 minutes and the whole head is soothed at once...feels great.

do you leave it in the freezer or just long enough to get cold? seems like it would freeze stiff.

Post by: Timmay on July 03, 2007, 10:19:12 PM: Yeah burke dont you know..you set the towel on ya head like a board then walk around until it starts to thaw and then it just starts to lay and drape around your head. Or maybe he has one of those manquin heads in his freezer and he drapes a wet towel over it adn it freezes to the form of a head....
Bald Bear I have done that before too but before I was sly. I would put the towel in the freezer not lettin it get totally frozen then lay it across the back of my neck while working out side...i bet it does wonders for the dome though

Welcome BaldBear and great idea. O0 A lot less mess than the ice cubes and nothing to fumble around with and drop. I'll have to give it a try.

Good idea, Tim, I like the ice and this way I won't be dripping after I'm done. O0 O0
Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: PBurke on July 04, 2007, 01:14:52 PM: i put the ice cube on a facecloth so the melted stuff would be soaked up. no mess, no drips. 8)

Post by: PBurke on July 04, 2007, 06:36:17 PM: i actually found a drawback to this. after the ice, and all is tight, i can feel where i may not have gotten super close and then i have to go get the razor and touch up. kinda went a little OCD on my head. but the ice is a good thing.
Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: SLYinKC on July 06, 2007, 06:32:21 AM: As most of you know, I started using the ice cube in the morning about a week and a half ago. Yesterday I noticed a bright red spot on the very top of my dome. It looked like a burn or something and I couldn't figure out what it was from (for awhile anyway). Finally figured out that it was an ice burn from leaving the ice on the spot on the very top of my head for too long. Granted, this is a pretty sensitive area of my scalp. I just never thought about getting a burn from the ice and didn't think that I had left the ice there for that long, I usually just rub the ice cube all around until it melts.

Anyone else notice this??? :/O

Post by: Timmay on July 06, 2007, 07:35:51 AM: umm SLY......buddy...Dont let the icecube sit on your head. And you are suppose to be using regular water icecubes....not DRY ICE. LOL
How many times do I have to tell ya

Post by: warhawk on July 06, 2007, 07:53:45 AM: slyinkc.... sorry 'bout the burn but it might also b that u put a little 2 much pressure on the sensitive part of your dome when u were shaving. i feel that might have been the problem. anyways.... glad your liking the cubes, brah. i know i am.

Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: Stu on July 06, 2007, 12:37:56 PM: SlyinKC, I haven't had that problem. I get my ice cubes wet first before rubbing all over. I had this vision of the movie 'A Christmas Story' where the kid gets his tongue stuck to the flag pole and thought about an ice cube stuck to my head and/or ripping skin off my scalp, so I decided it would make sense to have them wet first, as well as my head being wet. I also don't use any pressure when rubbing the dome. By the way, I think I'm getting immune from the shock of the ice; it just doesn't shock me anymore -- anyone else have this happen to you?
Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: Timmay on July 06, 2007, 12:46:41 PM: Yes I sorta thought that last night after my shower....I think it is just that you know waht it is gonna feel like.. I know I have only been sly for about 3 weeks or so but I think being out in the sun and all sorta "Toughens" up yoru skin. Oh well..give it time...someone else will figure out a new method that we will all we WOWING about LOL..
But me myself...I like the icecubes.............waitig for the wife to ask why I take icecubes with me to the shower LOL

Yeah, I've gotten over the initial shock as well.

You're just tough. Well, that and you have probably had a shaved head for a while, so it's more weathered than some of the scalps.
Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: J Digory on July 06, 2008, 12:39:05 AM: Well, adding the cubes to the twice daily routine. I gotta say, it doesn't FEEL like anything special. I was kinda cold on my head, but my hands really didn't like it at all. It was easier than any other method for chilling my scalp. It SEEMS to have helped my scalp feel extra smooth.
I'll have to wait and see if it helps with any bumps and what-have-you.

Yeah I agree, Digory, it feels colder on my fingers than dome. But try using your aftershave first, then the ice cube. That will really give you a chilling feel. Currently, I cold water rinse, ice cube, then aftershave. So it doesn't feel too crazy.
Title: Re: Ice Cubes after shaving
Post by: J Digory on July 06, 2008, 10:22:19 AM: I shaved last night (at work) before coming home. Using the ice cubes, of course. I woke up at noon...that is 9 or 10 hours later, and I have almost no growth on the back of my head, but a tiny bit up top. I think I will keep the ice cubes going. I did not mean to sleep in so late though...oh brother.

Post by: D.A.L.U.I. on October 22, 2009, 01:45:46 PM: I really like the ice treatment, although as noted above, the scalp doesn't seem to be very sensitive to temperatures, hot or cold. When I'm on the road, first thing I do in the morning is run down to the ice machine and get a bucket--after I put some clothes on of course. Once, I used my wife's hair dryer and noted that my head doesn't feel the heat--really weird.

No this cant be right !

Ok then, off to the shop, bag of ice.

Pint glass, fill with ice.
Shave.
Rub ice on scalp.
Wow ! Feel it glide.
Very refreshing.
Same again tomorrow please.

As for the remaining ice in glass.
Fill glass with mineral water and drink
while looking at a job well done.
