Okay I had to start a topic on this because I have an issue/rant.

Okay, we're renovating the 2 upstairs bathrroms in my home; therefore the only full bathroom we have is downstairs.

The downstairs basically belongs to my husband (it's his cave) which INCLUDES that bathroom.

So, here I am carrying all of my shampoo, conditioner, razor, smelly soap, lotion, towels (2 of course). I'm in the shower ready to shave the legs right. Well darn it I forgot MY shaving cream...I think it's like pear or raspberry...anyway so I see this big ole can of Barbarsol. Hmmm. Manly...see the price omg so cheap...so I'm like what the hell, so I use it.

Well, I'll be damned, it was the creamiest, easiest, quickest leg shave ever!!

What the heck, I'm paying like $5.00 per can and he's paying like $1.50 PLUS HE'S getting twice as much in the can!!

This really ticked me off. Plus, oh don't get me started on the razor isle at the store...talk about running and screaming. Why do women have like 12,000 choices in shave products and men have like 3?????

Okay rant over. Now I feel ALL Better!! original.gif

That's funny I know what you mean I learned years ago to buy barbarsol it's great. Razors give my a freakin break they are to much money and basicity all the same except womens are pink,purple what ever and mens are black.

w00t.gif Sounds like a fun Household.............I catch my wife using my shaving cream all the time, doesn't bother me, but when i found out one of her friends that spent the weekend with us used my clippers (i trim my goatee with them) for her unmentionable parts ohmy.gif , i could of killed her, needless to say she owns them now and i made my wife buy me a new pair..... thumbsup.gif

What works really great for shaving your legs if you run out of shaving cream use hair conditioner. Yup works great and makes your legs really smooth.

FEEL FREE TO ADD YOU OWN TINY RANTS HERE AS WELL!!! (Nothing offensive to anyone just day-to-day minor stuff...like my shaving cream incident)

Have fun original.gif Jody

My wife uses moisterizing soap when she shaves, I think she uses Dove or something soap. No shaving cream.

I think men know what they want and were satisfied with only a few, women have more choices from scents or flavors.

Barbersol is good for me, BTW Where did 'shaving cream' started from? A: From barbers, they used a solution to shave the roughest beards and they put it in a can. A BARBERs SOLution- Barbersol.

Well i can,t talk about womans shaving products, i,ve never had a lot of body hair anywhere! so for the few soft ones i do have any soap does the trick as long as i moisturize after. But i know what your talking about, most products marketed for woman cost more even if they have exact ingredients in them and have smaller amounts! Awhile back i was looking for a plain white dress shirt to wear with my black skirt, and as i looked around wound up in the mens department and dicovered hanging there a white shirt almost identical to the one in the womans section, the only differance was the womans shirts that used less material were 15 to 20 bucks more! So i went to the boys section and got one that was the same as in the womans section for less than half the price! And it fits and looks great! yes.gif

I can't stand seeing people blow bubbles with gum! Good God. Especially annoying teenagers and adults. I can handle kids...to an extent lol.

Another thing I'm picky about, and I'm sure some of you ladies understand this too laugh.gif, my hair. If it isn't exactly how I want it after I blow dry my hair, I jump back in the shower and wash it again. It must be board flat with no waves. My hair is naturally wavy and I hate it sad.gif.

The university student at work who think they have it so tough! They nick off home before me when I've been there longer, because they are going out or somethin, umm excuse me I've got 2 kids at home and am pregnant I'd like to go home early or even on time for once, Instead of staying back till 9 at night!

So....your ranting about shaving cream and razors??? Okay. I wonder then if you don't know the real reason you shave your legs and under your arms to begin with. Now THAT will give you something to rant about....

...the only reason you shave anything at all is because of a wild crazy marketing scheme by Gillette in the early 1920's. They produced a Ladies shaver in 1915 figuring they would sell twice as many razors if they could get women shaving too...so they paid some models to shave their legs and under their arms...........there you go...you shave because fat men in a corporate office wanted you too! Now go rant some more! tongue.gif

Oh ya, They really P*** me off,but i was at my moms for a couple days and she was getting 3 times the amount i was getting ! Her phone was ringing from 8 a.m. till well past 7p.m. every day ! she trys to tell them no thank you in a nice way but they keep talking, so now when they call she puts the phone down and lets them waste their time talking while she walks away from the phone and every now and then she,ll pick it up to see if they,ve finished and sometimes thier still going strong after five minutes! I had to laugh at one point she looks at me and says,Well mabey she,ll get larengitis and the next person she was going to call won,t have to put up with her!It,s my good deed for the day! laugh.gif

My little rant for today is about the guy with smelly blue exhaust from his car, he parks the beast infront of my balcony window and with this heat wave i,ve had to keep the doors wide open,But he always backs it in and whenever he starts the thing he sits there and lets it run for 10 to 20 minutes before he leaves and all the blue stinky exhaust fills my ground floor apartment, and he comes and goes about 10 times a day or more , PHEW!!!He could just as easily park it across the drive way as there arn,t assighned parking spots,everyone just parks where they want, but he always backs that beast two feet from my balcony door! angry.gif wacko.gif thumbdown.gif

My rant for today is about the guy up on the third floor who decided it would be a good idea to empty his friggan ash tray out the window, and the wind blew it all in to my apt. all over the table and computer, floor and window sill! What a stupid thing to do, doesn,t he have a brain cell that tells him peoples windows are open in warm weather, and the wind will blow it in their places? What a mess! Not to mention all those nasty butts under my kitchen window! I should have made him come and clean it all up! Jerk! angry.gif
