Wow. You guys go the extra mile.

I dry shave with a disposable. If I use anything to freshen up it's DMSO. Might explain why women run from me...

Not really. The gas comes from my proprietary mix of massive over-feeding, thermogenics and tightly wound personality.

It does add to the sulfer smell though so it extends duration of action. Those gas clouds linger on forever and provide added enjoyment to those who's nostrils are fortunate enough to imbibe...

Yes yes, first place I learned about it lol. Within a couple weeks and being told I might as well be shaving my face with a rabid weasel with the slant... I of course went for it!

How is the mama's bear soap? Seems to be pretty well regarded. Never tried proraso, almost feels like a sin for the wetshaving community, might need to pick some up.

Wow that is cocky of you lol. Not going to lie, I have done it on a few occasions. Not quite sure I feel about the plastic crap in the plastic can, but having SOME lubrication is nice, wont beat the tabac though.

Never heard of that, after a quick search I found it may make your breath smell like garlic and it can cut pain by blocking peripheral nerve C fibers. Interesting...
