Thread: Who needs lather?

I shaved today again but i didnt even lather up first as i did yesterday. 2 passes no problem, the touchup on the neck made my skin feel a little tired. Like shaving with a shavette blade. BBS as yesterday, No cuts, weepers or blood, a little raw feeling at the end, no visible irritation. I did do an ice cube face rub though.Next year I will give up lather for Lent.......

I would suggest that a lot of people *could* do that. Just as a lot of people can and do shave with edges we would NOT call shave ready, or the guys shaving on YouTube with swords, machetes, and spoons. Once you get your face as tough as cowhide, you can do almost any shave 'comfortably' (or at least without extreme irritation).

Just remember we are all different and don't go posting videos proclaiming everyone else is doing it wrong

Yes sir you are right about that. I only did it to see as I have always been curious. I don't recommend anybody to do anything that they aren't comfortable doing. YMMV is a given always with shaving.
