SYF! (shave, ya fools) - Psurfer - 01-21-2011
Electric razor spray cleaner/lubricant. (It really works.)
I spent amazing amounts of time this morning on Amazon to find a decent price on a can of either the Remington, or Philips Norelco version. Since my last order in 2010, price + shipping has gone up a lot, suddenly no one ships any for less than $8.xx ea.
Walmart to the rescue -I knew that behemoth must be good for Something:
Remington shaver saver $4.97 3.8oz (in-store only)
Norelco HQ110 $2.49 4oz (order online only, free shipping to store)

poss alternative? Wahl $4.94 8oz (in store only, not listed on their website)

16oz of mineral oil sells for $2 bucks at my local drug store.
Most electric razor and trimmer manufacturers recommend the use of mineral oil for cleaning and lubrication.
Bonus: A bottle of mineral oil contains no toxic propellants.
Another bonus: It can be ingested as a laxative.

If you're using it as a laxative, it may still involve toxic propellants.

Were you using it to lube moving parts or as something to keep the foil from wearing prematurely?
I generally don't have issues because I use a wet/dry Panasonic. I think the unit performs better on a dry
face, but for second time around, to avoid burns, going with it wet (a touch of cream rinse, actually) is
a definite winner. That or a clear, glycerin had soap lightly lathered on face.
