I tried the razor thing... and I got ingrown hair bumps EVERYWHERE!! Used a good lather and applied aloe afterwards.. still got tons of bumps!!

The oils soften the hair & skin & don't require rinsing! Eucalyptus oil is very soothing, too.
I have to come clean though... I use a Gillette Fusion Power w/ 4-blades myself, but I've been shaving for years. *Well, not for the past 6 mos, but before then!!! LOL* Once you've established a routine of shaving, your skin adapts except for those w/ very sensitive skin.
