No clue if they do, but are there electric razors for women? I've found that my electric can give me a pretty darned close shave and there's no need for any sort of shaving gel or special treatment with it.

I've got a bad case of razor bumps on the side of my neck, just under the curve of the jawline. It's fucking terrible. Been there for years. I CAN'T GET RID OF THEM. Yes, my hair is a bit curly. It really bothers me. It makes people think that I have acne.

I've been noticing an improvement with my razor bumps. I started using a battery operated Gillette Fusion. It somehow feels like the shave isn't as close as with my Mach 3 Turbo... I also bought Neutrogena Razor Defense Moisturizer and I apply that after I've shaved and washed my face with one of their facial cleansing bars. Oh, and I ONLY shave after getting out of the shower.

Important Question: Where can I find aftershave scented like Calvin Klein's Eternity for Men? I want to start using it for some anti-razor bumpness, but I don't want it to clash with my cologne. If that doesn't exist, does anybody know of a decent aftershave with an easily maskable scent?

Ouch. That sounds ungoldy painful.

oh, I guess I can't post urls. Hmm. I'll do it in code.

By ingrown hairs, do you mean those little hairs that you keep trying to shave off before you realize they're hiding under a very thin and transparent layer of skin? I've been getting a lot of those, lately... I just peel the skin off of them; mine aren't too bad.

Also, Racin Reaver: I have used electric shavers in the past--for women and for men. I have one right now (a pretty good one), and I've found that it (and electric razors in general) doesn't get a very close shave. My razor burn isn't as bad when I use electric, but it's still painful enough that I have to wait a few days to shave again.

I'll toss it into quotes for you since it is a pretty well-written article. I've read a few other people on other forums talk about how much they enjoy shaving themselves in a style smilar to that and i've always thought about taking it up, but I've always wondered exactly how much time it takes to do one of those sorts of shaves. Also, if it's really worth it since my hair tends to grow in super-slow (apparently it's hereditary in my mom's family) and odds are I won't need to shave more than every other day or so. How much does it cost to actually give that whole deal a shot?

Not too much. You can still get a cheap safety razor. The real cost comes from the brush, which costs around 30 dollars. It's acutally worth it. Unfortunatly, I can't really use one in the dorm. A big perk is that the ladies like it. At least, I hope they do.

I'd like to go straight razor at some point in my life, if only for the badass factor. That's a big step though.

Colgate makes a new toothbrush, I think it's called the 360, that comes with a tongue scraper on the back of the brush. It's cool too, because as you brush the front of your teeth, it can scrub the insides of your cheeks a bit too.

Electric Razors dont leave your legs smooth ;(

Im telling you, if you ladies arent using schick intuition you are fools 8-)

Stubbly, hairy fools

My barber at home actually uses a straight razor for a bit of my trims (along the sideburns and back of my neck) and I don't really like the feel of it a whole lot. I'm not sure if it's just because he doesn't take super-good care of it (which would come as a huge surprise to me) or if I'm just not used to the feeling, but I can feel every little hair as it's being cut. Maybe it's just me using an electric. :(

BM, I'll have to buy that brush the next time I'm at the store since my current one is getting pretty worn out anyway.

Edit: Also, while brushing my teeth this morning, I remembered the guy that posted about how he lets the foamy stuff from brushing his teeth sit on there for a minute. That's actually a really good idea since the stuff inside your toothpaste takes at least 45 seconds to have an appreciable absorption by your teeth. That's why whenever your dentist brushes your teeth you have to sit there for a few minutes after he finishes before you're allowed to rinse. I've started a regime of brushing my teeth first, then washing my face, scraping my tongue, and doing everything else before I rinse my mouth out now.

If anything, shaving cream is the cause of all your shaving woes. And you can't expect to be able to shave without shaving cream right away after so many years of mistreating your face. You have to give it time to become strong and manly again.

Just do it right out of the shower, leave hot water on the tap to keep the blades warm, maybe use some baby oil, and you're set.

Blackheads - Make a mixture of Baking soda and water until it's almost like a paste, and scrub onto the area. I've never actually tried this, but I've heard it works

Dry skin - Make an egg white mask. Just as it says. Seperate egg whites from yolk, apply to face, let dry up, rinse off. A less disgusting mask... you can mix Oatmeal (plain oatmeal) and honey, apply to face, let sit for 15-20 minutes, rinse.

Lifeless hair - Add luster to your hair with old beer. It could be new beer, but aged/flat beer works best. Shampoo as normal, squeeze excess water from hair. Pour beer onto hair, work through well, then rinse with lukewarm water.

For girls who don't like to wear a lot of make up, and find that their skin is a little pasty, invest in a tinted moisterizer. Or, if you have foundation, mix a little bit of your regular moisterizer with it. If you need a little color, try a gel bronzer and mix that in with it.
