  • Urgent question! Not sure who else to ask because it's pretty strange/retarded.

    Okay, so last time I was at the store the checkout guy accidentally put two packages of Shick razors into my grocery bag and so I'd thought I'd give them a try (normally I use an electric razor). Hell why not, free razors!

    Today, I was at my parent's home and I asked them if they had any shaving cream on hand and my mom gave me a can of Gillette found in their laundry room of all places.

    As soon as I popped the cap I noticed some rust stains. A little suspicious, I inspected the can and found out that it had expired 25 years ago. This relic of the 80s has been sitting underneath the sink next to heavy duty bathroom and floors cleaners for a quarter of a century.

    I'm pondering on if I should even use it. I sprayed a little into my sink and it smells kind of unusual and it's not quite a foam... more like a state of matter that has yet to be identified by physicists. I didn't want to put it on my face because I wasn't sure if the chemicals in the foam had broken down into some horribly unstable compound that causes cancer or something.

    I feel if I actually buy shaving cream, my feelings of victory will be shattered since I will have to spend money to use something I got for free. That's bullsh*t! I tried a dry shave and... well it wasn't a good idea.

    So what's Apolyton's advice? Should I use the 25 year old can of shaving cream and see what happens or throw it away?

    You don't actually need shaving cream.

      Some men have sensitive skin. They do need shaving cream.

        rust-contaminated foam + cut = tetanus (possibly)
        Unbelievable!

            I know nothing of what happens when stale-dated shaving cream is applied to the human face.

            ...BUT...there must be some reason they put an expiration date on the can.

            I say you test it first. Maybe on the family dog or on an ancient aunt that you no longer need.

              I use good old bar soap to shave.

              ACK!

                Why not ask? For all I know it could become even better with age just like vintage wine.

                  Yeah, when is the last time you went to a store to buy aged shaving cream, circa 1980?

                      Shaving cream is cheap, buy some.

                          Here's another vote for bar soap. It's what I use. Or just use the electric shaver.

                            Yes, any lubricant can be used. Plain hot water will work (if you have tough skin) Soap, (i use it frequently) Hair conditioner, body lotion, liquid soap, etc. Be creative. I doubt there's anything in old foamy that will hurt you.
