    Read some posts raving about this over the weekend so gave it a go, and can recommend it - no nicks, no redness, really close shave, and skin feels smooth afterwards. As someone who usually ends up red and bleeding it's a good find.

      Being the type of person who has to do a full head shave(except my eybrows), and generally looking like I've attacked myself with a cheese grater, I might have to give this a go. Although I have found Maco Root Shave Creme from the Body Shop does the trick too...

        Yeah? Well, I use a tree saw or an axe when I have them handy! ;P Oh, and I forgot about the sandpaper...

          Is that "irritate" in the "beard rash" sense?

              Actually, I use disposable razor blades, but when I'm finished you can't tell that I didn't use a rock, so why deny it, especially if it will get me man points. :-)

                    Ooh, last time I did that I was in a hurry. If that doesn't tell you enough: I pressed to hard, and ended up peeling a small slice of skin off.

                              Grow a beard. No cuts. No smell. No (and this is the biggie for me) having to be awake enough to shave at that time in the morning... Just trim it every couple of weeks (or let it grow for that Unix Guru® look)

                                      We are talking about the standard non-electric process of facial hair removal, and olive oil as replacement for shaving cream?

                                      Don't attribute to stupidity what can be equally well explained by buerocracy.

                                          Hell I'm married, so every weekend I end up as a discard husband out side of the bloody place... And any I think I could just about earn the man points back by actually using a proper cut throat razor... lovely shave...
