Using baby oil to lubricate your skin before shaving (idea)

Shaving your face every day is a nuisance. It's also irritating. But there are ways to make it a more pleasant experience.

One way is this:

1. Wash your face with hot water to soften the bristles
2. Apply a coating of baby oil to your beard
3. Cover this with shaving cream
4. Shave

You will be amazed at how much better your face feels. The normally dry areas of your face will thank you.

Notes:

1. skow reports: "I'm not sure IF it works dude. I mean shaving goes a little smoother, and my skin is actually softer, but I get these strange looks from my housemates when I enter the bathroom with a bottle of baby oil....alone." Err, yes. I can see where that might raise eyebrows. Still, what price comfort, eh?
2. unperson says: "I tried this. It's a good trick. Actually, once I started my girlfriend got in the act too. It's a big hit all around."
3. To be precise, the exact product I used is called Australian Tanning Oil, but it's mostly baby oil.
