Good luck, Dorian i have used meghans shaving foam once or twice when the neck hair is long…

Never worked though. We gave up. I haven't needed a barber too since I was seventeen. They're alien to me; very sinister people, barbers. I couldn't help noticing that a lot of them are bald, even the males. My wife and I unsucessfully tried for six months for me to have a beard. Never worked though. We gave up.

I also started using a double-edged safety razor (this is what most of our parents and grandparents used before cartridge razors came around). It takes a tad bit longer, but it's much easier on my face than the ol' Mach 3. Also, it's much easier on my wallet. A 10 pack of blades costs about $1.50 USD.

No need to look in the mirror, I know where I want hair or not. No extra lubrication required (maybe slather a bit of shampoo from my head on my face). Double-edged safety razor, no double blades. Only problem, a package of 10 blades is costing upwards of $10 nowadays. I shave while showering. No need to look in the mirror, I know where I want hair or not.

I get a better shave than with gels/creams. And a cake costs just over $1, and my last one lasted *8 months*. (I shave 3 times a week, YMMV) Worth a look in general, and especially if you're looking to ditch the expensive gels/creams. (Travels well too!)

I had used an electric razor as a youngster, but found that didn't work well in my advancing years, so I switched to a Mach 3 Turbo. I started with shaving cream, but found some of the same material you mention and started shaving right out of the shower without cream. Works well for me. Don't think I'll be going back.

Just the shave soap is not too easy to get so everytime I got back to the Netherlands I buy my old brand. One soap lasts half a year and only cost a few dollars. But I have shaved without soap. It works well when the skin is wet (eg under a shower or just right out of the shower) but in general I just prefer the brush. I am big fan of the shave brush.

It's a dumb name, but it works really well, plus it's cheap and small: $12 for a little bottle that lasts a year. Try a shaving oil, like Ultimate Shave.

I still need <em>some</em> kind of facial lubricant (no innuendo intended) so I use bar soap. I used to use the same old Coast I used everywhere else but for the past few years I switched to my spouse's fancy bar soap for sensitive skin. Actually the razor, the Mach 3 Turbo, has a little lubricant strip which helps but isn't sufficient.
