What is face cream?

I just mix up some glycerine, witch hazel, and water and put it in a squirty bottle. Or you can get some aqueous cream.

It can take a while to get good with a shavette. You need reasonably good prep (some folks prefer a wetter, almost dripping lather). Watch your angle - hold the blade almost flat against your skin. You might have to do some skin stretching. I like the Chinese long blades (same size as the Dovo...

Except for the Chinese ones (which are great), this type of blade has always been a bit too expensive for me.

I've got a few months to go.

A vibrating shavette is a pretty smart idea, but couldn't find any info on how long the batteries would last in it.

Big fan of this collection. My favourites are Loopy (slitherlink) and Pattern (nonograms). https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/puzzles/
