Dry touch up
Anyone doing a dry final touch? After two with- and cross- lately I do a dry touch up on some difficult spots such as the jaw line to have a really smooth shave. This will remove the final whiskers and some peeling I guess.
It works really great, very light burn until rinsing my face. For me it seems the only way to remove them all..
All the best.

I have attempted it a few times, don't really like it. I don't grow beard on my cheeks, but dry shave the hair on my moles, burns a bit.
Lately for touch ups I just use another drop of total shave solutions oil and a splash of water, much better.

Thanked: 26I often will go back and hit spots that a touch-test reveals I missed. If I get to them while my face is still wet, that's easy, and no lather; if my skin is still soft, I'll just splash on some more water, and that works. If I notice them later (I keep a straight at work), then I lube with spit, which works amazingly well (slightly slippery), or hand lotion if I'm feeling fancy. Bone dry just doesn't work for me.
If I don't use some moisture, I pick up more skin than hair. It's more like razor burning than shaving.Last edited by mdarnton; 04-20-2013 at 02:41 PM.

Maybe with water only after the last pass, but usually slap some more lather on there. Plenty goes down the drain, so may as well use it. Me and a buddy tried dry shaving once when we were kids. Once was enough to convince me it wasn't for me.

I will hit stubborn spots immediately after I've removed my lather. The key word is immediately. Best of luck.

Thanked: 13247Clear water touch up after is quite common around here, but dry not on my Hollywood Face, plus that would be pretty hard on the edges too

I don't dry touch up. I will wet my fingers and then rub the intended spot so that its a little slick. Then I hit it with the razor.
Shaving with facial hair is like a golfcourse. It's a challenge of rough and fairways. You are the skilled greenskeeper of your face?

Thanked: 1195I might do a dry touch up if I see a couple stragglers that I somehow missed, but that's about it.
