....there's been a definite improvement overall to the condition of my skin.

It's not perfect, but I'm not experiencing as much pain, as I usually do where ingrowns have been known to infest, torture, and mock me.

Now, I can't say that it is all due to the act of straight shaving alone, but it is definitely all because of straight shaving, as I have never paid as much attention to skin care as I have since I took up the straight edge.

I also noticed an even bigger jump in the improvement of my skin since I picked up some samples of Anthony Logistics Ingrown Hair Treatment. It's a gel with an apparently high concentration of salicylic acid, and a little goes a long way. The guy that gave me the samples said a lot of guys swear by this stuff, but it's so pricey he thought I should try it out for a month or so, before I plunked down 30 bucks for a bottle. He gave me enough for two or three months ( a little does go a really long way). He told me to put it on before bed and after I wash my face, and then wash it off it the morning. Stuff works great (for me). I highly recommend it, but I would suggest if anyone else out there has major problems with ingrown hairs that they get themselves some samples of the stuff first. I hate to see someone waste a lot of money on something that doesn't work for them, and would hate it more if they bought it based on my recommendations.

So, I owe those of you who have professed that straight shaving is better for sensitive faces, than disposable multi-blade cartridge shaving is, a great big THANK YOU!

You are correct sirs!! And my skin's a lot happier for the knowing.

Thanks again gentlemen.
