    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...

    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.

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

              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)

                      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.

                      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.

                                  I've not tried this; it has been around for quite a while: King of Shaves[^]. I did try the new wet razor but didn't like the feel: the Fusion is best though, of course, a blunt and rusty hunting knife with freezing cold water works best...

                                    I tried shaving with Olive Oil once, but all she did was insist on playing with the shaving cream.
