I‘m just looking for a shaving cream or foam or gel that doesn‘t have perfumes, fragrances, or unnecessary additives. A necessary or helpful additive could be something like Vitamin E or some additive that makes the hair on the face and neck softer before you actually apply the blade. I don‘t have super sensitive skin. I‘m just trying to use less chemicals on my body when it comes to shampoos, hair conditioners, and shaving stuff. I asked about shampoos (and sort of hair conditioners) in a different question.I know some people just uses just plain bar soap and lather it up on their face before a shave. But is there anything canned? I mean, like what do barber shops use? I‘m pretty sure that stuff has a fragrance. Not positive, cuz I‘ve never had a professional shave at a barber shop, but I‘m just assuming since they go through a long process just to give you a really clean shave: the hot towel on the face, the brush, the foam/cream, the old-school razor, and so on.Thanks for any positive feedback!
pending on who you talk to some would say downshift is fine other say its horrible for tranny. to stop, when coming up on a light shift bike to neutral coast to light, once stopped re-engage to 1st gear. for sudden stops remember front brakes approx 70% of stopping power rear 30%, i hardley ever use my rear brake (2002 R6). dont worry about flipping over forward, its harder than one would think to do that. before the flip happens,most of the time, the front tire washes out one way or the other.
If you have the yellow you should be using the throttle, not the brake. The guy behind you is planning on running the light. Shifting to 1st can break the rear tire loose, just like locking the rear brake.
I use both the tranny AND the brakes. Like most here, if you have time to think about it you can make a decision. I have made many panic stops where JUST the brakes weren't going to be enough. The compression helps on the rear tire to keep from locking it up. Kick down 1 gear at the time and TRY to not over rev the engine! Over time you develop a feel and ear for the bike and it starts to feel like a part of your body. If you can walk without thinking about which foot to put down next, you can ride and address any situation on the bike comfortably and without having to do much thought on how to handle it. Most of the confusion is because you haven't been there yet. When you have a moment and walk away from it, you know you did it right.
Barbers used a bar soap and brush. I'm a woman and I have used these myself because its fun. You can still buy these in stores. The soap comes in a square box and the brush will be next to it. As for canned creams you need to look in the ladies area for cans labeled sensitive skin as those will have less additives. But you're never gonna get away from them. Keep in mind everything is a chemical of some sorteven lye. Also try the bath and beauty aisle of health food stores.
