slo’s THURSDAY 2/15 poll - Shaving Cream vs Shaving Foam vs Shaving Gel 🪒

[slo]

I hope everyone had a nice Valentine’s Day and blessed Ash Wednesday yesterday.

Shaving…..most of us probably do this task.
Let us know….

When you shave, what shaving product do you use?
Are you a man or woman?



For Me…..I’m a shaving gel user. Foam is to thick and I’ve never tried cream. When I’ve run out of gel, I will use soap. My DH also uses gel. I also have a really good electric razor, which I use sometimes, and then I use no shaving product with that.

I'm a woman, and I use soap... when I shave. My family isn't very "hairy" and now that I'm past menopause, well... I shave my legs about every 2 months because I don't have much leg hair anymore.

 

[Disneylover99]

I only buy gel.
But really, I just grab and use whatever is on the counter, so if it was foam, I’d use it and not think twice.

 

[unrequited23]

I use gel...if I run out I use conditioner.

 

[snowwite]

Neither. I use Venus razor and it has some type of smooth shaving gel built in around the blade.

I use gel...if I run out I use conditioner.

Like…..hair conditioner?
I‘ve never heard of this and now I’m intrigued.

I use just water after a shower and because I'm 70 it's a seasonal thing now.

 

[WDWEPCOT]

Growing up I had to use soap I can’t stand doing that horrible
I use shaving gel now like the other poster if I run out I will use hair conditioner I don’t like to do this long-term but it works for it yeah quick fix I’d prefer to use it over soap
I’ve been through menopause it hasn’t put a dent in my need to shave on a daily basis
Sadly to say !! TMI

I use my liquid soap, it’s like a gel. This happens rarely.

 

[AppleDumpling]

I use gel with a women’s disposable razor. DH uses an electric razor with nothing.

None of the above, I use an epilator. I picked electric razor but it's not really, it's tiny little tweezers that pluck those puppies out. I'm well into my 60s so I really only have to do it maybe every 3 weeks or so.

 

[Moliphino]

I shave, but I don't usually use anything. The razor has a little strip of aloe built in.

 

[LoveSpringsteen]

I’m a woman. I just suds up with my body wash and shave using that. I don’t use shaving cream or gel.

 

[jo-jo]

Like…..hair conditioner?
I‘ve never heard of this and now I’m intrigued.

I use it all the time. Nothing separate bought for me.

My DH uses soap in a mug and a brush. Like old time . You swirl the brush around to work up a lather. The soap is not normal body soap.

 

[lovin'fl]

I just use body wash. I'm a woman.

 

[Dan Murphy]

I've used electric for past 10 years. I switched from shave gel and blade when I had my knee replacement, 2014. I knew wet shaving would be difficult for a month or so after the replacement so started electric about a month prior. Have used ever since.

 

[TiggerTrigger]

Soap or conditioner for me. If I'm splurging on product, Paul Mitchell's leave in classic conditioner is the very best, but a cheap bottle of Suave still seems to be better for dry skin and shaving for me than shave specific foams and gels. I think I was in high school the first time I had a physician suggest conditioner (that's where the Paul Mitchell comes in). That particular product makes a good lotion as well. I also have an electric razor to get certain areas that I'm more likely to cut with a traditional razor.

 

[Minnesota!]

I use shampoo or conditioner. I am too frugal to buy something with "only" one purpose, ha!

 

[luvnwdwgal]

I just use body wash or if my legs are really dry I use hair conditioner.

 

[sarahann77]

I use body wash usually or soap if that's run out.
