I'm a college student and have done my fair share of drinking :D Personally, I go with the drink as much water as you can before falling asleep. You can use water or a sports drink (try to get some low sugar ones though). Chug as much as you can and than stay up until your decently sober and than go...

The huge red painful pimple bumps are usually filled with blood, while the smaller white heads are filled with antibacterial puss pushing dirt out.

I've got the same thing. keratosis. Moisturizers with urea do the trick. If you have one, all good. Otherwise I can post a list my dermatologist gave me.

Wow. At least nobody has bid on it (with 6 hours left), and chances are it'll be put back on for a good amount less. You go to ebay to make money, sell to forum members to pass along great razors for great deals. Its got the plastic head anyway :lol:

A story of a fellow reaching a solution to a problem and without thinking "tapping" his chin with the razor. Pretty nice gash. Its an isolated incident thought. If you shave with it and are careful, you'll just have some slight cuts while learning. If you're not careful and don't take the ...

The adjustable Gillettes are pretty mild IMHO, I'd say start on a 3 and work your way up. As for blades, its completely your choice. Usually some scrubbing bubbles to clean it up with a toothbrush and whatnot and than a soak in some high alcohol content rubbing alcohol.

When I do exfoliate, its not for the areas I shave but for the areas I dont shave.

edit: Also I dont use harsh chemicals for exfoliation. I use natural products with little pieces of whatnot to scrape the dead skin off.

I use hair conditioner here and there and it seems to do an okay job. As for exfoliating, you should only exfoliate once or twice a week with a scrub to remove the dead skin cells from the areas of your face you dont shave. Maybe you just need better prep on your neck and your technique is slowly im...

FT: GFT sandalwood soap in bowl

I have a GFT sandalwood soap still wrapped in plastic in the wooden bowl, still in the box. I just smelled it through the wrapper and didnt like the scent. I'd like to trade it for GFT coconut soap. I'd preferably trade the whole shabang for another I guess I could do a wrapped soap for a wrapped so...

Still white heads. Razor burn is a reddish rash with red bumps. If you over shave an area you'll wind up with a whole bunch of tiny annoying white heads. I dont know if theyre scientifically white heads, but theyre easy to pop and go away after that.
