oooooohhhh!
especially with the face soap - ouch!!
time to pull out the aloe vera
...shaving in the shower with face soap... is... a no-go
So today I thought I'd try shaving in the shower with face soap and a brand new Feather. Bad Idea Jeans, people. I really liked the simplicity of shaving in the shower, but that is apparently a no-go with DE at my current level of (in)proficiency.
Woah. That sounds like no fun, brother. I could be wrong about this, but I don't think a face wash is going to have the cushion you're looking for with DE shaving. You might try taking some shave soap in there with you and face lathering (to avoid having to hold a mug in there). Just a thought.
try a proper lather with shaving cream or soap. Hot shower softens the whiskers. Just normal face soap=wreaking havoc on your face.
As an aside, I applaud your reference to Bad Idea Jeans!
