I remember when I first started shaving, I just started using Gillette products purely because their adverts were so powerful.
Anyway I thought I would start a topic for us to recommend pre and post shaving products...
When it comes to razors, must say the Mach 3 is the best I have used so far in the Gilette range.
I now use Lab Series shaving foam. I got this can as a freebie at a promo event. I will definitely get another when this runs out.
I tend to use King of Shaves shaving gel when travelling. It is strange at first because it doesn't lather; yet it has a great cooling feeling.
I choose after-shave balm or cream. Much kinder to the skin! Usually get one that matches the fragrance I am wearing that day.
Any other recommendations or tips?

So here are my two cents on the quintessentially manly ritual of shaving:
- I always shave after showering. That's when your skin is all moist and you are least prone to accidental cuts.
- I use the Gillette Fusion razor. I believe its FIVE blades does a little better and lasts a bit longer than its predecessor cousin the Mach 3.
- I've tried shave gels, but ultimately I go back to foam. Gel doesn't do it for me, frankly, because it just doesn't foam!
- I've never used after-shave. I simply rinse and put on some face safe (non-pore-clogging) lotion and I'm ready for my day. Then again I'm not a cologne wearing guy either.

shaving is the bane of my existence; my skin always ends up looking terrible after i shave (my neck gets shaving rash and heaps of accidental cuts, and it seems to allow outbreaks of pimples) so i tend to have a hot shower after in an attempt to calm it down which helps a bit. although everyone always reccomends shaving AFTER a shower, but then i'd have to shower like twice, grr.

If it makes you feel any better, I still have VERY slow growing facial hair.
I generally shave once every 7 - 10 days. I have always been like that.
Look on the bright side: you won't have to spend so much on replacing all those expensive shaving supplies!

1. Agreed. Bristles are softened and skin pores are opened.
2. Really? I thought it a fancy marketing gimmick. I would like to give this one a try, but then I don't want to have to replace my existing handle.... hope a Mach 3 handle fits a Fusion razor. Then I may take the plunge!

I know my close friend David uses a Braun Series 7 760cc foil shaver. Its really fancy compared to the cheap one use shavers I use. Then he uses plain store bought lotion to slap on afterward. As for me..since I'm not one to be fancy when it comes to removal of body hair, I just buy the 10 pack, 3 blade Bic shavers. We both use a oil free lather..him some off brand, for myself I use Skintimate or cheap lotion. After I slap on some sented lotion from bath and body works.
I hope more girls answer this...I don't want look weird.

I have no idea if it works for guys, but for girls, the best way to avoid ingrown hairs (shaving rash) is to exfoliate first and moisturise after.
