roll on is for women and kids who have environmentalists for parents.

I didn't realize you could still buy spray deodorants, tbh. Maybe just for men :confused: Hmmm, I'll have to look next time at the store.

Electric Norelco, switching to a Braun soon since this misses way too much hair. And roll-on Old Spice Pure Sport, the ladies love it, they always ask me what cologne I wear and I tell them it's my deodorant, they go nuts. Good times.

I could use some advice here. I've mostly used plain, old razors - but my face has been suffering a lot of irritation lately. Any good solutions for this? I've tried to adjust my shaving patterns, used different lubricants, etc.

I'm sure you use an aftershave. Try something different? And maybe a moisterizer? :d

I've tried to adjust my shaving patterns, used different lubricants, etc.What kind of razors have you been using? I saw the Mach 3 (what I use) and the Shick Quattro mentioned on here - both of those are vastly superior to the over-the-counter crap you can buy. I'd definitely suggest the Mach 3 along with a quality gel like Gillette.
How about this: when do you shave? I find it best to take a super-hot towel, hold it to my face for about 1-2 minutes , and then I apply the gel and shave. If you've ever watched any old cowboy movies, you'll see the barbers letting thier client's faces soak with a hot towel before the shave; it really opens the pores and lets your razor move through your face easier. BTW, the opposite works best with electric razors (don't put the hot towel on until after you shave).

You cant really skimp on the gell, I bought a store brand about a month ago and it was pretty crap.

I use the Braun 8585. Works pretty well once you get used to it, but like others have said don't let your beard grow out too much or this will pull this shit out of your facial hairs. I've noticed a lot fewer ingrown hairs once I started using this (i used to get a few around my neck). I still have a Mach 3 and Gillette gel as a backup though.

I've actually been using both Barbasol and Gillette gel recently and actually tend toward using Barbasol more often than not.
I usually shave after work, after I take a shower.

Besides switching to the razors that everyone else suggested, you should also try Nivea for Men face lotion. It really does help, cuz I have try skin anyway.

My wife has some Mary Kay lotion that I slap on after shaving. It's probably like the Nivea and it really helps soothe the skin
We're all such ********ing **************, eh? "I have sensitive skin oooohhhh"

What do you think Jack uses to shave? Broken bottle? Pitchfork? And do you think he uses lotion?

Jack controls his facial hair with his mind. It's always set to "five o'clock"... well except the first episode of season 2.

I'm basically a manual guy.. Gillette Mach3. But I'm also very lazy so occasionally Ijust let it grow and then I have to get electric just to cut it down before i can get on with my regular shaving
