Question:
(Face) Shaving Advice - Fellows?
What's a good shaving gel? I thought about trying that Aveno gel, even though it's pretty expensive..
My problem is, my face is real sensitive, so shaving is a pain while I'm doing it, and after... I use one of those 3 (or 4) blade Gilette blades. It seems to almost pluck the hairs depending on the angle, so that I have to shave in the direction the hair grows.
Is there a good combination of gel and shaver anyone has found for sensitive, irritable skin?
(I don't like electric shavers, by the way, if you were going to suggest that.)
Thanks!

Hi, first thing is forget the 3 and 4 blade razors, you need a good old fashioned Wilkinson sword blade, before you shave put a flannel in cold water and ring it out tight, then place in the microwave for about 20 to 30 seconds till its warm. place it over the beard for about 1 min, this will soften the beard, then use a alcohol free gel or foam for sensitive skin and you will be OK
