I heard that before and thought the guy who said it was playing a practical joke.

i hear shaving cream is often used in cutting flattops..

also.. there's nothing wrong with the classic vasoline.. rudolph vasolino style!

don't use murrays unless you have a strong degreaser for later

seriously.. murrays is painful going in.. painful coming out.. and painful when you throw it out and realize you'll never get that $1.38 back.

What kind of shave cream, canned goo?

from what i was told.. the beard busting barbasol does the trick just fine.

What is a Fade cut? Is the xtown version different from the regular?

Have heard the term fade, but have no idea "What it Is".

What kind of shaving cream is good to use?? Like a gel that turns to foam, or one that comes out of the can already as a foam?? Or could I even use, for example, my T and F "concentrated" cream in the tub, which obviously would have to be whipped up to create a lather--does it need to be a thick lather, or could I try it right out of the tub?

I am just wondering what the shaving cream will do for my hair and if it washes out easily, etc, etc???

Thanks for the interesting suggestion--had never heard that one, but I will def try it! Hope you see this and can respond to my question! I appreciate it!

The aerosol canned stuff(Colgate.etc.) is usually alcohol based, so these types will have a far more drying effect on the hair, making the hair still malleable but not slick, but hey, that sounds to me like what you want. The green gel stuff and the tube creams will just gum up and will actually lather up in your wet hair, and also be aware that any heavy fragranced creams can some times smell odd after a few hours. Of course, Your Milage May Vary, all depending on your hair texture and desired look. But the way you described your hair it could very well work for you. I would recommend using the canned $1.99 Colgate, and putting it in clean wet hair, airdry or blowdry. If you feel inclined and it works out for you and looks cool, would you post some pics here, I'd like to see it.:
