Shaving

[Isabelle90]

I can't remember where I heard about it first but i shave "dry" using talcum powder as lube (the corn starch kind) and a new double or triple blade razor. I don't have issues with ingrown hairs or soreness. I do have to stop and "knock" the stubble and power out between the blades of the razor

I find being on my back I'm able to get all the nooks and crannies and I'm not worried about doing some gynmastic manouver in the tub that results in a headline like "Woman found dead in tub; drowned shaving".

This makes sense really! Some use powder before waxing or using an electric razor in order to raise the hair. I suppose, when using a straight razor, the powder acts as a kind of lubricant for the razor to glide over while protecting the skin from razor burn......

It all sounds logical, but I'm still too chicken to give it a go!! But, the "woman found dead in tub; drowned shaving" headline might show up in my local paper if my coordination doesn't improve!!! LOL
