Title: Trouble around the temples
Post by: FrankyG on February 20, 2009, 06:21:20 AM

Okay so I noticed over the last few days when I shave that my temples are sensitive to the blade. I have tried something I read her and done with the grain, than go against it and still a bit sensitive. Has anyone figured a way to calm this or is it a deal with it kind of thing till I get used to it?

What kind of shaving cream or gel are you using?

I would find a beautiful woman to apply, lather, and shave me. Other parts will become so sensitive during the shave that I'm sure you will forget about those temples.

Hey Franky,

I would call that sensitive, lol, loss of blood from the head would be the reason lol. Shave secret huh?! What is that, a shaving cream?

I use a store brand cream right now.

Shave Secret is a shaving oil apparently available only at Walmart.  Using it you can shave without a cream although most guys, including me, use it under a shave cream.  There has been a lot of discussion about it on the SBG Board.

Hope this helps.

Shave secret worked pretty well. very little irritation, and a darn close shave at that. But yeah go figure the first time I use it i do a nice job and cut right into my head, lol.

FrankyG, did the Shave Secret help clear up your temple area? I have the same problem in that area.
