For all the guys on here

Post by pavel131 »

Just a little money saving tip, for the men on here.
Shaving! For many years, I have used foam or bought shaving oil.
I now use extra virgin olive oil for shaving. You can buy a big bottle for a couple of quid and it lasts ages, also, it gives me the closest shave I have ever had.
I am an Dyslexic agnostic insomniac. I lay awake all night wondering if there really is a dog.

Mr P likes a "proper" shave, with a brush and soap etc, we bought some hand made shaving soap in Lanzarote on a craft fair and that had olive oil in, I will pass on this to hubby and see if he will give it a go )like(

Thanks that's a great tip.
My OH had to stop using shaving foam when we discovered our baby daughter had a detergent allergy - they all seem to have detergent in.
I hadn't found a soap alternative yet.
I will pass this on to him.
