F...Shaving

That's the best use for that crap-in-a-can...it's not suitable for shaving with. (I prefer shaving soap or quality cream).

I just tried shaving in the shower for the first time, and it wasn't that bad. I did what Buster suggested and just lathered up the mirror I used, and even though it fogged up on me twice a quick rinse made the fog go away for a few minutes, so it was relatively easy. Not sure whether it's the old mirror I used or the Barbasol, but it wasn't a big pain in the ass.

And whomever suggested shaving in the shower was easier, they were right. I used a cheapo razor that my dad uses and I had no problems with it. When I shaved before getting in the shower, I always used to go semi-slow, and that would lead to a lot of yanked hairs and other spots, but I had no such problems in the shower. I recommend it for anyone who hasn't done it yet, it really makes it easier, at least in my experience.

How long are you guys going to talk about what you do privately in the bathroom?
This thread gives me the willies.

Wow paranoid much? Talking about shaving facial hair grosses you out? Man up, as they say in the Miller Lite commercials.

@Mredskins: Yeah I think someone mentioned that previously in this thread. It really is true though, it felt much better than doing it the old way.

The steam from the shower has to make it easier on your skin.
