    Why would anyone want to shave without shaving cream or some type of lubricant? I don't see the advantage.
    Community Answer
    Some people finds it provides a smoother shave, but this advice is also useful if you know you'll have to shave in a situation where supplies will not be available.

  • Question
    Can I shave my pubic area only with water and razor?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but prepare for serious razor burn and ingrown hairs, possibly nicks too. If you don't have a shaving cream, at least use baby oil or conditioner.
