They are inexpensive post shave treatments, something like $13 for a 4 oz bottle.

It's supposed to last you 3 months but I don't use as much of it as they suggest. Yeah, that is it’s downfall but you’d pay pretty much the same for new disposables.

I can attest to that. Ah, but the whole point of the Phillishave is that you don’t get razor burn because of the Nivea balm that it dispenses onto your skin as you shave.

I reckon it takes about 8 minutes or so for an electric shave, which gives me a one-day stubble look, probable razor burn and the odd missed long hair bizarrely jutting out of my face (typically somewhere on my neck), and about 15 mins for a wet shave which leaves you totally smooth.

You get to shave in the shower with an electric(!) one and no razor burn. Of course these will never be as "good" a shave as manual blades (are you that obsessed with being smooth skinned?), but the convenience and speed wins. I use this Philishave.

Dunno the kinda foam he use, but I love it. Unfortunately,I enjoy it only once in a month. My daily shaving usually in a sink and in a hurry.

So she makes me shaving soap, then as Julien, applied with a brush, and shaving is now a pleasure :D Nic I’m lucky enough to have my girlfriend making her own cosmetic.

I've been using King of Shave gel lately - not quite as close as the really expensive oil but it doesn't blunt the blades as quickly. I've been <a href="http://twitter.com/MikeNolan/statuses/996525390" rel="nofollow">considering alternatives</a> for when my Mach 3 gives up and I'm tempted to try a classic double edged razor. Could end badly. IME shaving soap is about as good as oil. I’ve been using King of Shave gel lately – not quite as close as the really expensive oil but it doesn’t blunt the blades as quickly.
