Which model?
I live in Recife, a warm city in the northeastern coast of Brazil, so I use the RunAmoc Lite, that is quite ventilated. But since I guess you live somewhere colder, chose the non-lite model.
Just remember to buy one number smaller than your usual, since they are quite roomy.
Thanks.
To inject my uniquely feminine perspective… 
I can imagine that after a two week period of being subjected to daily stress of shaving without cream, the skin would adapt. Think… breastfeeding. Very similar process. Takes about two weeks to fully adjust and get over the skin irritation and pain of it.
Next step: Convince women that shaving their legs and their armpits is ridiculous and they’ll stop using shaving cream, too!

My girlfriend had stopped shaving her legs and using deodorant.
Gross.
Why?
How does she get away with not using deodorant?
Either she doesn’t, or she just doesn’t tell anybody about it.
But, more seriously, as a few people noted earlier in the thread, it’s useless in the long run.
Why?
Decades of social indoctrination…that I share (for better or worse).
But to turn that around–why am I shaving my face?
Sometimes I forget to put on deoderant. My girlfriend says I actually smell better. I notice that women are more dovey around me. Maybe its the pheromones.
Oh well.
Perhaps for the same reason that you gave to my question.
Most people don’t wear deodorant, and don’t need to. It’s actually a rather recent trend in history to use these products. Deodorant wasn’t commercially sold til the 19th century. There’s nothing gross about not using any of these products.
It is the pheromones. Your natural odor is more attractive than what some corporation sells to you to cover it up.
From a male perspective, perhaps. As a woman, I’ve dealt with negative social consequences to not wearing and wearing ineffectual deodorant… and trust me, they were quite severe. Me, I don’t mind my own smell. I don’t mind the smell of my husband. But socially… in the area where I live… it is seriously unacceptable.
Have you ever tried going without it for an extended period of time (like 6 weeks or more)?
Non-issue for me: I grew up without being able to afford shaving cream. Soap and water does fine.
Further non-issue now: Every few months, I get my facial hair removed with laser treatments. Eventually, the removal is permanent. Regardless, I get months at a time without having to shave.
Pre-marital advice to the guys:
GET A BARBER TO GIVE YOU A PROFESSIONAL SHAVE ON THE MORNING OF YOUR WEDDING!!! so that your photographs look the best.
A week before your wedding, get a professional shave and figure out how fast you develop a shadow beard. Then, calculate when you should get that shave on the morning of your wedding so that your photo session works out best.
I would even recommend that you get your facial hair removed with a laser two weeks prior if you want the best look. The treatment hurts, mind you but it looks and feels great.
Body odor is not pleasant.
Hairy legs is gross, but that’s not an absolute, it’s just my (and most Americans’) taste. I am not sure where it came from, but shaved legs seem so much more feminine and hygenic.
Most likely right, but not as much my own–my own reasons are simply discomfort after several days of not shaving and to a lesser extent a matter of social appearances.
It’s to a much greater extent due to employment pressures on looking “professional”. The same reason I’m wearing a tie today.
The ideas about not using shampoo, using mineral deodorant (that kills bacteria, but doesn’t block pores) and not shaving foam I’ve heard before. I’ve been using mineral salts deodorants for some weeks now and sweat as usual during exercise, minus the smell.
But what do you guys think of fluoride and toothpaste? I’m not talking about water fluoridation or accidentally swallowing toothpaste, I mean just normal daily use for brushing teeth, there’s nothing wrong with that, right? Or rather, is there another alternative that’s just as effective for preventing tooth decay?
