Kiss My Face?

[ndorfinmachine]

Are the moisture shaves that they make any good? I ask because my wife has a brand new bottle of the peaches and cream. Someone sent it to her a while back and she has never used it. Said she didnt like the smell. I was just curious to see how it would feel on my face, as I've never shaved with a cream before. I didn't shave with it, but just lathered some up with warm water and my fingers. Honestly it doesn't feel thick enough. Is it supposed to be just a thin layer? I bought me a cheap shaving brush and really wanna try this out. Any tips on how to get a good lather with this stuff? I really hope it works for me because I noticed on their website, a mint shave cream that sounds heavenly. Let me know soon please caue I'll most likely shave in a couple of days. Thanks.

Hmmm... I have a sample of the key lime here and it lathers like mad. A great cream! Maybe you're using too much water? Rinse the brush and give it 2-3 good shakes. Then lather up with about a hazelnut-sized amount of cream.

Do I apply the cream on my face and then use the brush? Do I apply it to the brush and then my face? Or do I squirt some in a bowl and mix it up that way? Sorry for so many questions, but using a cream is very new to me.

That's the way most do it. You could also squirt a dab on your brush and lather up on your face.

Thanks guys. I'll let ya know how it goes!

A little late on the reply back....but I have now named this stuff, Kiss my face "Torture shave." This is my conclusion without it even touching my face. I'm a hairy guy and I do like to keep well groomed. So I do shave the arm pits. I figured I would try this stuff out under the arms first, and boy did it set me on fire. My underarms were so sore I couldn't even wear deodorant for a day. There are a few hairs on my shoulder area I mow down as well and it left red marks all over. I did everything right. I used warm water and lathered it up really nice and everything. What surprised me was the fact that this stuff is all natural. Is there something in it I could be allergic to? It was the peaches and cream by the way.

:eek: Yeah, I would guess an allergic reaction, but if you care to be certain you could try it on your lower arm (without shaving). Just dab a bit on the skin and see what happens. Of course, I'd also advise being near a source of water, to wash it off with a quickness if you experience any burning sensation.

Natural isn't a "seal of safety". I think most allergies are from natural products; peanuts, pet dander (Hey, it's "natural" :happy097), watermelons, seafood, etc.

I wonder what the ingredients in KMF are? Anyone got that list?

From past experiance I've found that the under arms are rather sensitive. Probably more sensitive than your face. Most likely do to it being a big joint area where there are tons of nerves (golgi bodies , etc) due to it being an area that is stretched and could become strained easily. It may work better on your face.

:eek: I'm sorry I asked.

Seems like the only things they missed were formaldehyde, methanol, and ethanol. :D

"Hydroxyethylcellulose, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Fragrance, Sodium Benzoate"

I could probably preserve lab specimens with that.
