genes in my family dictates us boys to have bushy hair (and i'm thankful for that. at 34, not even a hint of baldness. huzzah for me). however, bushy beards come with the territory. i shave almost everyday and it does get painful at times. most of the creams that i use are helpful, but it usually is just as helpful as moistening my face with water.

 

an african-american friend of mine introduced this easyshave cream (i'll be ordering mine at their site http://easyshave.net/ - http://easyshave.net/ but i was just a little worried as to irritations and/or allergies (although none in my family has that). in their site, it says it's got penitrol - has anybody got a clue as to what that is? is it harmful?
