Squintz Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 I was reading my shaving cream label and it contains stuff i never knew i put on my face. Such as Propane and Butane. Why does it contain these things? and what are the long term effects on my skin?
YT2095 Posted December 9, 2003 Posted December 9, 2003 Propane and Butane are the propelants used to force the product out of the nozzel, they are the high pressure gasses used. no they have no effect on your skin unless you set fire to it
NSX Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 What is shaving cream for anyways? I haven't shaved once yet; yeah, i'm 18, so it seems like i'm growing a beard
Dudde Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 to reduce friction between the razor and your skin, so you don't get "razor burn" and/or cut yourself to ribbons (take a razor and swipe it across your chin/neck a few times...)

wolfson Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Just think deodorant, Most aerosol cans contain 10-15% propellant by weight., the only real hazards are if punctured, contents may be released so forcefully, that injuries could result. Extreme temperatures may cause cans to rupture, resulting in a release of the contents with potential to harm the air, water or land. Not to mention moisture may cause them to rust.
atinymonkey Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 I used so much shaving foam once, it completely covered up my nose and mouth. I horsed around for a bit, with my foam beard and all I looked like santa, you see. But soon I realized I couldn't breathe. I blacked out for a while, after seeing stars. I only managed to survive by placing my head into the toilet bowl to wash off the excess foam. They found me there after a while, but I explained the incident away by explaining I liked the smell in the bowl. Lesson to learn there, I feel.
gene Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Talking about aerosol cans, know why does the bottle have water droplets and feels cold when you press on the button for quite some time?
wolfson Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 Evaporation of a liquid takes away heat. As the rubbing alcohol evaporates it absorbs heat and creates the cool feeling.
YT2095 Posted December 10, 2003 Posted December 10, 2003 heheheheh anyone wanna know HOW to refill and Aerosol can PROPERLY? and with anything you like? I`ll post it shortly ) btw, if you THINK you know, don`t even TRY IT untill you REALLY know!
