Anyway, another way to look at it is in combination with your shave. I started learning the straight edge routine recently, and it's even improved the safety razor shave. I use whatever bar is in the shower, then a boar brush for soap, and after shave balm from Kiehl's. edit: Hot water until the final rinse using cold water to close up the pores before after shave application.

Random trivia: ingrown hairs from shaving are due to the razor heads that "pull" the whisker then cut it, but that doesn't occur with a straight edge because it cuts off a layer of dead skin along with the whiskers.
