So like I am the only man here who does maintain a baldhead with the Magic Powder?

Real simple:

- Make a semi-liquid paste with the powder and some tap water.
- Apply paste liberally to wherever you want to shave.
- Wait about 10 minutes.
- Dampen if it hardens.
- Scrape off with butter knife or similar instrument.

It pulls the hair right out and gives you a smooth shave that lasts a few days.


I thinking about getting the laser/electro-whatever thing done so my hair won't grow back at all.

I've been going to the same hairdresser for 20 years and I'm happy with that
as for shaving...razor & shaving cream DIY is fine

Have had a straight razor shave a few times...and yeah, its very good...but not so good that i'd leave my house to get one from someone else

I using the Oster razor from Exellent Stores and I find it better than the others as it is sturdier and made of metal not palstic so less vibrations.

I have a vidal sassoon cordless titanium kit. I find it to be on the cheap side, and the battery has lost the ability to keep its charge for long periods. Saw a WOHL kit on amazon. Thinking of stepping up to that.

Pricemart selling WOHL kits right? Anyone using them?

Back in Jr sec (93-94) I cut my own hair before going to Faiz by the Mosque on El Socorro.. I had a "mop" hair style back in those days with long curly hair on top hanging over ah #1 fade.. 2 mirrors and ah chair in the yard was all I needed I ain't so brave these days though

I have my Andis T-outliner over 10yrs now and it still wokin like new... Ah just replace the blade a few months ago after so long.

I usually give myself a mark and shave, take care of the sides, my little uni-brow sprouts I get rid of them, make sure the middle evenly spaced, take off any unwanted hair around the top of my eyebrows, to the ends and not much under them. Got quite a few cuts learning to do this with a wilkinson razor blade alone.


The hardest for me was to keep both sides even and get the area behind my ears.. On travel I use a panasonic shaver for the heavy stuff and a wilkinson blade mated to one of those safety shavers like this



Usually takes 20mins or so for a full mark, eyebrow clean up and shave, saves me the 20euro price by the shops

Electric Shaver is the worst thing you could do to your face.

[Energy0091]

I have a issue. When I shave my face with a razor I get ingrown hairs. Not the serious nasty looking kind but for a person, like me it's a bother to see the bumps they cause on my face.
I used to use magic shaving powder, but got fed-up because I kept thinking, "that this powder with all these chemicals can't be safe for continuous use."(2, sometimes 3 times a week).
So I stopped shaving and each time I go to the barber, I just let him carry down the hair as low as possible, but not completely off, which would have triggered the in growing of the hairs.
My issue is that I liked a clean hair-free face and with the solution I found the hair is still visible.
For those that experience this or have even found a way around it... Do you have any tips you can share?

My question is...how often do you shave with a razor?
Is it every day, once every 2 days or 3 days??

Just like your nails, your hairs on your head and face would continue to grow no matter often you cut them. ( unless you suffer from male pattern baldness). I think the key is to cut them with a little more frequency. Thus not giving the hairs time to grow and go into your skin.

I had this problem eons ago and used magic....a complete waste of time. So I just started cutting/shaving more often and ingrown hairs went away eventually.

Also I would advise that you change razors often as the skin on your face is sensetive and used razors tend to cause problems.

what you need to do is before you shave or apply shaving cream soak your face with hot/warm
water and then after shaving soak your face with cold water.....the hot water opens your pores and makes facial hair softer and easier to shave
