I know a guy who uses Noxima to shave his face... what do you guys think about shaving your head with this?

Think he's talking about you PigPen :D         I do think it might be absorbed too quickly to work well.

I say, you won't know until you try it out.  If you do, let us know how it goes.

I've shaved my face with it before, worked ok, I don't think it has enough lubrication for my headblade to glide across IMHO.  I do wash my head and face with it after shaving my head in the shower and before shaving my face.  I like the way it feels on a freshly shaved head.

I have read on one of my straight razor forums that it toughens the hairs making it harder to shave, but I have a light beard anyway so haven't noticed it.

A long, long time ago.... I can still remember
How that Noxema used to make me smile....

Not really.

I used it as a shaving cream but it clogs fast unless you dilute it with some water. I love the smell of it, though, and it does make an excellent pre-shave conditioner, eg. HeadShed.

I should go pick up a tub of it today....
