Guys (and ladies too I have some good news about shaving.
You have probably experienced some of the hassles and problems of
this chore and are familiar with its inherent potential for being
very annoying.
You may be frustrated with razor burn and dry skin after struggling
with your daily shaving routine. You can bet I tried all kinds of
different razors, shaving cream and even some aftershaves to see what
I could do about this problem.
You want to know what I found after a lot of experimenting and trying
different things? You probably have a neat handy little item that is
common household fare and may be found in your kitchen. It”s
Olive Oil. You”ve got it, olive oil!
The benefits to using olive oil for shaving are huge. It is such a
natural lubricant that the right kind of razor will slide right
across your face giving you smooth and soft skin and still getting
the job of cutting the growth from your face. And the best part is
that your skin will actually start to look younger after using olive
oil to shave with over the long term.
Therefore, do not forget to apply some olive oil to your forehead
when you shave too. The reason is that the rest of your face will
become younger looking and you want your forehead to keep up. In
retrospect, I remember reading about a famous Hollywood actress that
mentioned that olive oil was her secret to having great skin.
You can bet that others are using olive oil to shave with too. I
did a search right before deciding to share this information with you
and sure enough there are other people out there that shave with
olive oil.
One nice thing about it is that you don”t have to use high
quality olive oil. You can buy the inexpensive low grade olive oil
that doesn”t taste very good from your local supermarket to shave
with.
A bottle will last a really long time. You can kiss your shaving
cream goodbye. You can also leave out aftershave if you so choose.
Your skin should feel great without it.
Now, let”s talk about that razor of yours. Here is what I have
found out about razors and am willing to share with you. Even though
I use the great lubricant properties of olive oil to shave with, I
still have found a few issues that using the right kind of razor can
help with.
If your experience is similar to mine, you may have found that it is
difficult to shave in the grooves of your neck and face, particularly
under the jaw bone with typical razors. Even with olive oil you can
still easily cut your face if you make the wrong movement. You might
find that that Gillette”s Mach 3 and olive oil are the perfect
combination.
The Mach 3 has a nice swivel head with a great lubricating strip.
This allows for the flexibility to really get into the nooks and
crannies when used in combination with the olive oil. You will be
able to get in there with a lot less fear of cutting yourself.
It”s
not impossible, but the Mach 3 does make it a lot harder to cut the
skin of your face.
You may be using another brand of razor with a lubricating a strip.
So far, in my opinion, none have come close to the Mach 3 for safety
and comfort. I do sometimes use a stiffer blade to make the vertical
strokes because it can be really effective. But, when it comes time
to dig into those nooks and crannies, I like to break out the Mach
3.
No, I don”t work for Gillette and I am in no way associated with
them. The reason I use a stiffer blade for the vertical strokes is
because its effective and also less expensive. The Mach 3 blades are
a bit on the expensive side, so you can save a little bit by just
reserving them for the nooks and crannies. With the use of olive
oil, you might be able to get a longer usage period out of a blade
before needing to dispose of it.
For ladies, I suggest a sparing use of olive oil. The reason is that
you will be covering a much larger area and too much olive oil can
get a little messy. For us guys, we can probably enjoy the luxury of
using more because it is easier to wash from the face.
I wish you the best of luck with your next shaving experience.
