    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.

        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...

          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)

              No, don't tell me. You use pepper sauce instead of aftershave!

                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.

                            I guess something along the lines of "shaving" with olive "oil".... :cool: (whatever that means)

                              Just wet it for a little while then rub in a few drops of oil, then shave as normal. Google returns lots of instructions like this[^].

                              OK, just to get it right, olive oil, then just shave right? Or by "shave as normal", did you mean "use your regular shaving cream and then shave"? 'Cause I'm going to try it out tomorrow.

                                The only reason I wear a beard is that I hate shaving. Popeye's stick-insect girlfriend won't move me to change.
