    Starting Shaving

    Tonight I start the almighty shaving. Ok, even though my dad will be there to show me how, I'm afraid that I will cut off my face and look like a freak monday when I go to school. Anyway, you guys got some tips/pointers? And, if you have some first time shaving stories I would love that.

      Although it will be tempting not to use shaving cream... do it. lol. My only advice.

          The best way to learn is whith a straigh blade, like they use in the barber shop, but whatever, you use, make sure you push down REALY hard to make sure you get the hair off, and I have found that rubbing alchol works much better than shaving cream. Just remeber, the bleeding and blinding pain means it's working.

            lmao!

            I use a MAch 3 with the Sensitive High Vitamin Edge Pro gel stuff, and stuff works great, make sure you are always going against the grain, especailly around your neck region, and watch out or your adam's apple, I have cut that a few times and its not pretty.

                    staight blades are highly intimitating ... and they give you the closest shave you will ever have .. razor burn is always a by product of straight edge shaving

                            get your face warm with the sink running, take the hottest water you can handle and splash it over your face and where your going to shave. Then put shavign cream over the desired area. Star to shave, use a good shaver, you'll appreciate it. dont be suprised if you bleed a little mayeb from pimples n crap. If you'd like go over your face where you think you didn't get close enough, you dotn have to put on more shaving cream.
                            your dad will probably tell you what direction to shave in. I.E. shave up from the chin to the lip(missing the lip!) this is so u dont slice your lip open and junk

                            i remeber my dad was like put this on(after shave) and when i was doign it then he's like then scream!
                            i found it rather funny, after it stopped burning
                            I knew not what I did but am now edumacated
