Shea Butter

[IsaacRN]

I dont know if this question should reside here, but it is an aftershave process.

Does anyone use Shea Butter after their shave. I saw someone post that they use it for razorburn. Would this go on before or after an aftershave. I bought some today and find it pretty thick, but it doesnt have a scent. Just want to get some opinions.

I use shea butter after shaving, but more often in the winter.

It is very healing.

Check out my review here:

When is the exact time that you would use it. Do you put it on after/before the aftershave

After.

It can be thick, and is easier to apply to a semi-wet face...... so my process would go as follows (after "the" shave):

1) warm water, to clear soap/cream remnants
2) cold water
3) witch hazel
4) aftershave splash
5) cold water (after #4 has settled)
6) immediately then apply shea butter + whatever aftershave balm or moisturizer is appropriate

Shea Butter for me is VERY sticky / tacky.
Not that thats a bad thing, but....
I use it before beddy-bye and I hate getting goop all over me pillah.
So.
I put the SB on 1st and then
splash on some alcohol based AfterShave.
This cuts the stickyness down and keeps me happy. :D

[moviemaniac]

I use SB on various occasions:

1) nearly every night before bed as a moisturizer
2) after ASL and ASB if it was a particularly bad shave
3) non shave-related: whenever I have a sunburn, rough skin etc...

I've used this as a pre-shave with a hot towel and have had tremendous results. Give it a try.

I didtched the L'Occitane .....and im waiting for the one that Joe recommended to come in the mail.

Cool. How much are you using as a preshave?

[jbcohen]

What is the advantage to using a shea butter product rather than a non-shea butter product?

Without getting into all the marketing hype, shea butter is an excellent moisturizer and skin healing product.

[Queen of Blades]

Bareback naked, sounds like a combo.

You want to super-size that combo? :p

[Mottern Man]

I deleted that post before you got too it. It did not work :p.

I find the super-size to be what you should get in the regular meal, I should not have to pay extra for more.

It should be all you can eat.

[qhsdoitall]

I need to sit down and have a lemonade. It's getting warm in here. ;)

Are you saying you are "there is no such thing as ugly after 2:00am person?" Present female company certainly excluded as they in no way shape or form fit in the "ugly" category. :D

I have used both Shea butter and EMU oil. Both have great healing properties, I use EMU in my pain creame. The Shea I use does have a smell to it as I use unrefined. Gee...maybe when I get a site going I should offer some on it.

Pour Velva on it

[IsaacRN]

Really...so just add a touch of aftershave on it and it wont mess it up?

Yeah, pour aqua velva on anything to make it smell good :drool


No really, the scent of the shea butter (which is natural), doesn't last any more than a few moments. Take it like a man :D
