Your Razor

Recommended Posts

For those of you old enough to shave, (I hope that's all of us) what is your combination of cream/razor? I have REALLY sensitive sking so I use Gillette shaving cream for sensitive skin along with the Schick Quattro. As for after shave I use the Nivia for men after shave. I highly recomend the after shave it's almost orgasmic, it works so well. Also, I have tried using electric razors but I just can't get used to the "pulling" feeling that it gives me. What do you guys use?

I use some Gillete Gel (no idea what name) and a Mach 3 razor. I have some Calvin Klein Contradiction after shave balm, but I rarely use it. Did anyone else get about 15 Mach 3 Razors about a year or two ago? It seemed like every arena I went into had a guy handing them out at the gate.

Well, I shave my head and face...

Razors - Cryogenically frozen Gillette Sensor Excels on my head the first shave(they really do work, they last much longer and a good price, the site is GreatRazors.com ) and I use a Gillette Custom Plus disposable for my face and the second head shave to get that extra smooveness.

Shaving cream - Skintimate w/ Baby Oil

After shave - Tend Skin

I use a Norelco electric, then follow up with a Mach 3 to get that baby smoothe feeling.....

If you have sensitive skin, I'd suggest you try the Mach 3 over the Quattro. I found the Quattro irritated my skin comparitively -- its sensor strip seemed worthless.

i use a mach 3 razor or these schik extreme 3 disposables, theyre both the same to me, i like edge advanced for sensitive skin (it has a menthol type tingle) and i once had a bottle of paul mitchell's tea tree shave cream the stuff was great but expensive, as for afterward i use tend skin, sea breaze astringent, or this niviea mentholated stuff, what ever i have the money for

I have The Mach 3 and I also had the Philishave CoolSkin electric razor.

My boy uses a Venus.

But it is true - those Mach3s and the like are a waste of money. I've always found that they shave worse than a disposable.

I do the exact same thing. And your right about the after shave. :D

Instead of the Gillette shaving cream, I would recommend Clinique For Men sensitive shave cream. It is expensive but worth it. Ditto with the Nivea aftershave- like liquid velvet.

Great topic!

I have battled this for years and for me, using a badger shave brush with Colonel Conk's World Famous Glycerine Shave Soap are more important that the razor itself.

I used soap and water for years. I tried every shaving cream/gel out there. Nothing worked until my in-laws (OK, three weeks until they are official) gave me a shaving set last XMAS.

I am using Mach3 razors, but, they are no better than the disposables that I have used.

Ponty, I may have to try your pink razors...

I use a Mach3 Turbo with Edge Active Care Ultra Sensitive gel. I used aftershave just once and it gave me a face rash. My pharmacist said I should just avoid aftershave altogether.

so what stuff do you all recommend for sensitive skin? i.e. neck getting red in spots or drying up after shaving? i used the neutrogena gell and their spf lotion and it works well, with a mac 3 turbo.
