I've been no-poo for many years now. I've had barbers ask me what I do to keep my hair so nice.
People shampoo to remove oils and then use conditioner to add oils. It doesn't make sense, except once you view it through the lense of capitalism and them creating a need to sell you another product.
I mostly just wash with water daily, and about once every week to a month, whenever it feels like it needs to be done, I do a conditioner wash where I just use conditioner to clean my hair.
The same is true for shaving gels/creams. I wasn't really sure what the point of my shaving cream was, only that my skin started to itch the next day if I used it. So I tried to shave without it and lo and behold, it's fine without. I notice no difference in shaving, but my skin doesn't itch anymore and I use 1 less product
I shave with a double edge razor and don't usually do a clean shave, just clean up the edges of my facial hair, but yeah I don't usually use that stuff either. It's mostly not required. When I do do a clean shave I do use shave soap, but it's also nicer quality than the cream or gel you'd buy in a store, with lanolin, tallow, and/or other oils added. It's slightly more effort but if I'm going through the effort of a clean shave anyway I like to enjoy it.
ironically i prefer shaving in the shower without cream, it's almost like women figured out something mildly useful in that regard...
how do you shave your face without a mirror?
with my hands.
your fingernails should not be used as razors.
well no i simply use a razor with my hands
You've saved me a good chunk of typing, thank you.
