Do you guys use soap or shaving cream to shave your peach fuzz on your face? I've been using soap, don't think I really need the shaving cream yet since no facial hair has come in.
Even w/o the hair the razor can really irritate the skin, but it depends on the soap, since shaving cream is mostly soap.
I use shaving soap.
Depends... Most times I shave in the shower and I'll use Irish Spring. But I do have a can of Barbasol under the sink for the rare times I shave outside of the shower.

Honestly, I just use soap. I haven't had growth nearly thick enough to warrant needing actual shaving cream.
I mean, back when I used to shave my underarms, I only used soap and it was more than adequate. :) But it can get a little dry/irritated afterwards.
Shaving cream. I like the way it feels on my face. Though admittedly I haven't shaved since about one month on T.
shave gel
Shave gel here.
I used to just go with soap and water when I didn't have much hair there.
Now that it's thicker, I switched because it wasn't very smooth with just soap and water, even with a sharp blade.
Shaving cream. I don't like gel. Sometimes if I'm in a rush and I just need to touch up the mustache, where the hair grows faster, I will use water. I usually regret that later when my face burns.
I used soap before I started T, when all I was shaving was peach fuzz. Once I started growing some actual coarse facial hair, I switched to shaving cream.
Shave gel but now I use an electric razor and some mens face lotion afterwards
I use shaving cream
Soap dries out the skin...
Or you could use neither and grow a sweet beard.
Aveeno Unscented Body Wash and blend in 1-2 drops-globs of KY (or generic), makes a great slick, no grab surface! Smooth as a Baby's Behind! No Burns! :laugh:

Shave gel kinda weirds me out! lol Like it morphs into something else once you squirt it out and then it makes your face feel all tingly and whatnot. I just don't personally care for it. I get the "sensitive" type razors that have "strips" on them with some sort of moisturizer or something and then just use soap.
I've only ever used a cream on my face even though I don't have much to shave off, it just feels/smells nice. I used to use a gel or a cream for other parts of my body but I haven't shave anything else for a long time now.
I have this weird old fashioned stuff that my ex left here. You put it on with a brush. I've tried using it just for fun, even though I'm not on T yet.
