Shaving question

[mrfrogs]

I hope this doesn't seem too off-topic ;-)
After shaving your face, what is the best way to rinse the razor blade? Cold water, warm water or hot water? Someone told me hot water will damage the blade eventually. Can you share your experiences on this subject?
Thanks !!!

[tricktx]

either rinse with cold water or buy an electric shaver

Yup, or use a beard trimmer like me.;)

[cheekymonkey]

OK, this is from a top grooming expert (not me then !):

The area should be prepared by resting a clean, hot, wet towel over the area to be shaved for approx 2 mins to open the pores and soften the hairs.

The shaving cream/foam should be rubbed into the area (preferably with a bristled shaving brush) in a circular motion to make the hairs stand up fro the skin more.

Whilst shaving the blade should be rinsed regularly in warm water.

When finished shaving the skin should be splashed with cold water to close the pores of the skin again to prevent infection.

Razors should be rinsed in tepid (luke warm I think) water and dried (because you dont want to be shaving with a rusty blade).

Razors should preferably only be used upto 3 times for the best shave.

Or just buy electric and get a desperate dan chin !!
Its easier :D

Make sure you unplug the razor before you run it under the tap. The best advice is always simple:t

[Bovon]

Use Nair, the shaveless hair remover...

This lady had a dog that was very hairy, and even grew enormous amounts of hair in its ears, which got all matted up and caused problems...she would take the dog to the vet each year to have the hair removed from the inside of the ears.

One time, there was a new asst. vet there who told the woman to just get some Nair and apply it with a swab every so often to control the hair groth.

She stopped by the drug store on her way home and got a container of Nair and some cotton swabs.

The guy behind the cash register said..."if you will be using this on your legs, do not shave for a couple of days".

She said politely.."I will not be using it on my legs"

The guy then said, "well, if you will be using it under your arms, do not use a deoderant for a few days"

The lady was now becoming incensed at the personal questions and said:

"I will be using it on my Snouser, if its any of your business"...

The guy just said..."Ok, don't ride your bicycle for a week"

How did it feel??LMAO:r :r jk


Bovon I love that southern humor!:p

[RayH]

I wish I could help you. I'm a grandfather and ethnic Cantonese. I still only get peach fuzz. I buy a pack of generic razors every two years. Really! I use either Baby Oil or hair conditioner to moisten whatever I have to shave.

[TARP2]

Go cold or Go fuzzy. :p

Yep, I'm Korean American. Why? what's wrong?

[ChrisDevismes]

To get the best shave buy 'bic'. Unwrap and test blade against rice paper. When you have found the one that seemingly cuts without effort place the blade end under a pyramidal object and leave for several days. By this time the hairs should be free of the detritus and blossoming pustules that may plague users. Carefully remove said blade from under pyramid shaped thingy and starting at the bottom work to the top. You might find, due to the severity of the blade, a slight trickling down the neck, but persevere and once 'smooth' immediately plunge razor into red hot water and rinse thoroughly. Place water annealed blade straight back under 'shape' and it should be good for at least one more shave. Failing this grow a beard cos shaving leads to all sorts of strange bathroom smells involving dried blood and hair clogged in soap induced wisker residue. Hope this helps with you problem.:t

[Baddog]

"Mach lll" Three blades that do the job! (Anywhere :eek: )

[Ammok]

Yup, mach III, best shave ever.

[Logan2002]

oh nothing. I am in Korea right now so when I saw your id i wondered if you were Korean.

[Logan2002]

oh and Ammok mach 3 all the way!

[apesgrapes]

i've never understood this 3 blade thing, even the adverst show that the first 2 blades are cr@p, and it's the third one that does the job.

in 5 years time we'll have mach 12 - (11 cr@p blades and then the same one from mach 3).

[Logan2002]

have you ever used mach 3?
try and tell me what you think then.

[Baddog]

Mach lll....No bumps...no cuts.....no rash.....no burn.....no itch.
Cool! :D

[Logan2002]

yep!!!;)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Indeed, i am quite a "hairy" 16 year old and have been shavoing since i was 12, i have to agree that the Mach 3 is the best type of razor i have used so far.

I recently went away for a week, and managed to break my ankle and tear the ligaments in my foot :eek: , however the next day i tried shaving with a crappy disposable razor - whilst standing on one leg and leaning on crutches.....

the results were NOT pretty.... and neither was the amount of blood on my towel by the time i had finished:(

Still - Mach 3 rocks :)

--Jakk:t

[Optimus Prime]

SHAVING SINCE YOU WERE 12?!

holy **** man, ive just started shaving and im 15! lol :D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

indeed - god granted me with the gift of facial hair from a very early age :rolleyes:

--Jakk:t

[Ammok]

Shoot, I only started shaving when I was 33. You must be closer to the ape line than me.

How was your five days abstinence, Jak?:D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

--it wasnt bad actually.

Unfortunatly i got split up from my mates, was in a flat full of what can only be described as loonies, and on the second night broke my ankle, playing footy -- only to decide it was okay and keep playin (silly me :p ). The lectures n stuff were fairly boring n that too.

However on the plus side after about 4pm we went bowling n did some really cool stuff, and there was this greek Team Leader who was funny as hell - so i just spent most of my time hangin about with him and my mates in his flat. And although i did break my ankle -- i spent 8 hours sat in casualty with cool university chicks :D

...every cloud has a silver lining!!

All in all quite good - especially as it was totally free :)

-Well its nice to be back now - so i can get soem proper sleep and talk tech with you guys :)

--Jakk:t

[Ammok]

Sounds like you hadda loada fun, life is a bowl cherries, whats sleep and tech talk to the week you just had?LOL:D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

LOL

I've been really bored today actually - i wanna still be there :(

i cant go out or anything because of these bloody crutches either :mad:

--Jakk:t

[Ammok]

LOL, those crutch sure will slow you down a bit, but it can get you the sympathy vote, es[pecially with all those aspiring nursey types that you meet anywhere, never mind uni. Lucky b*gger.:D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Yeah - im off to a summer ball (very posh affair) next week -- let the crutches work their magic - sit back and let the ladies come :D

--Jakk:t

[Logan2002]

wow brings back memories of when i was in the U.K.............
spending time with friends getting teased about my american accent. Eating fish and chips, the Indian food (uh well no I am married to an Indian princess so I get all kinds of curries).

But I really miss the feeling of being in the U.K............cloudy days
(I like cloudy days), the expensie beer, playing playstaion until 5 am with my buddies (mates!)

ahhhh such fun

[Strat]

<-------------------Mach III fan also.

[Monster1]

[Strat]

Kindly refrain from using unoriginal material, ie my avatar......

[Logan2002]

how do you make an avatar?

[Monster1]

Hey bud :mad:

look at yours, then look at mine. how in **** could mine be from yours.. how about the other way around

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Sorry monster -- but methinks Strats been usign that longer than you (i THINK im right)

--Jakk:t

[Monster1]

I have beating these guys off with a stick since I started using him since last december..

besides, look at his POS and look at mine.. how the hell could mine come from his..

stinkin IDIOTS!:mad:

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Designing and formatting a custom animated avatar or any animated image requires special software...like Paint Shop Pro with the animation shop plug in...and then lots of patience!!

Most of the folks here have found their avatars already made somewhere on the internet...some modify the image just a little bit to customize it.

OMFG its a WALKING DISK WITH HANDS AND FEET! how many people did you actually fight off? just strat? you haven't finished fighting him.. who cares, its a stinking avatar, it adds originality, either of you should get a new avatar and say '**** YOU!', not on it, as that would get you in trouble, i mean like its SAYING metaphorically **** YOU!, oh ill just not even bother trying anymore, people these days... ;)


and to Bovon's post:

Yes, people nowadays edit their piccies with software like Adobe Photoshop (i used, not mine tho :) ).

I would use a picture of myself, but that would require HOURS of editing to make it visible to the normal human eye... several people died of heart-attack from seeing my face... its quite sad really.. ;)

[Monster1]

well, since your asking he made the forth that used it.. every other time I politly asked them to change to something else and without hesitation they changed.. then this guy comes along and is so bold as to tell me that this is his avetar when I got from its original designer and with his permission said I could modify it and use it anyway I like...

the issue here is not the little floppy. Its fact that he tryed to punk me out with a lie:mad:

Hey boven, you dont mind if I use your avetar and start telling peaple you stole it from me do you...
CASE IN POINT

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Drop it FFS, its a picture of a **** floppy disc walkign -- im sure somwhere in another forum, someone also has taht avatar... what are you gonna do about it Monster -- Sweet FA.

There are more important things goign on here, were not here to sort out childish "he stole my picture off of me" squabbles -- if you want an arena forr things liek that - go back top the schoolyard.

Now - i hope this means that the case is closed (always wanted to say that :D)

--Jakk:t

[Ammok]

It is a nice avatar though, i quite like it myself. Not quite as good a s Carmen here though, perhaps I should get her animated?:)

[Baddog]

LOL, Ammok you could not handle the "detail" LOL :x

Baddog

[Logan2002]

uh can you tell me how to MAKE an avatar?

[Duke523]

Yeah I am another fan of Mach III.... Look at my avatar I wonder where I got mine ( suprised no one has called me a ****en tree hugger)!!! I mean you can probley find almost everyones on google image search. And a few programs I will not disclose since it would probley go agianst sysopt form rules.

[Optimus Prime]

YOU F****** TREE HUGGER!!! ;) ;) ;)

nah, i agree with green peace, altho i wouldnt like a car running on methane, imagine the SMELL! :p

[Strat]

You have the same avatar as me, therefore I'm not happy...... however, I'm not infantile enough to stand here and b**ch about a god **** walking floppy disk.



I shall use another. An ORIGINAL one.

[Ammok]

you bad dog,LOL:D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

Well said strat - i also gave him a bolloc*ing in another thread about his whining -- however its now all over -- so lets just relax....:)

--Jakk:t

[Harshu]

A strange question but if the shaving sesion is going her then i should ask this. Well i Use Mach III for shaving purpose. One of my friend said that shaving from down to up direction gives better shave in compared to the up to down direction as we do usually. He says that the hair grow in downwards direction so shaving in opposite direction of the hair will give a much close shave. I had tried it my self and find that it really gie a better shave.
But is this a correct way to do. Any side effects. Have u people tried it.

[Ammok]

mines grow striaght out, but M3 gets them anyway.

[Baddog]

Shaving the oppsite way the hair lays will get you a closer shave, but people with sensitive skin may have to shave in the direction that the hair lays to prevent burning and and bumps.:eek:

[TARP2]

Now I want a walking,surfing, Mach III avatar.;)

[leprechaun_40]

Who shaves:confused: It's a pain in the ****:D
I have a nice beard and I trim with an electric trimmer about twice a week:x Besides,, a blade sharp enough to cut my beard takes off my hide and and electric leaves my face red and sore. So I quite shaving:r

Note to optimus prime, pure methane is oderless, it's the mercaptains and hydrogen sulfides with it that smell;)

[Bigjakkstaffa]

I must admit i also dislike shaving, i tend to get a red raw neck whenever i shave, and am prone to never having enough time on a morning to get a decent shave anyways.

For this reason i am almost always wearing some hideous, scruffy lookign stubble, which my mother and father complain about persistently. One day i too will stop shaving i think and let it grow simply because i cant be bithered -- however this does NOT mean im gonna grow your typical "merlin" doormat beardo thing -- cos they look plain silly -- although it means id prolly drop less food on the floor whilst eating -- get caught in my facial hair instead :r

--Jakk:t

[leprechaun_40]

Yeah, beards are good food strainers if you aren't careful:D

[Baddog]

I use to have a beard ....got a hornet hung up in it ...never had one since :eek: :eek: :eek: :x

[Optimus Prime]

im not old enough to grow a full beard yet, i just get **** bum fluff and its so god **** annoying. at least i dont have to shave every day! :D

[Bigjakkstaffa]

--im not supposed to be old enough to grow a beard at my age... but if i leave it long enough, it goes wild, its a pain in the ***** being..."developed" (lol) :(

Oh to be follically challenged :rolleyes:

--Jakk:t

[leprechaun_40]

I've been shaving since I was 14, lets see, that's 30 years now,, well, gave up shaving a while back, but you know what I mean:D

[RayH]

Thanks for the link. I just bought my bi-annual pack of generic throwaways! Really, I'm a grandpa and can only grow peach fuzz!
