Hi, I have my league meet tomorrow, and I've already shaved my arms and legs, but my coach also said that putting body lotion on beforehand will help me too.
Has anyone done this? If so, what brand lotion? I have "suave" at my house.
Also, lately I have been feeling sluggish at practice since taper started, is that normal? And is my stroke supposed to feel "off" after shaving? because it did today.
Thanks!
I've actually wondered about PAM vegetable "no stick" spray, which has been used for decades as a poor man's Body Glide to prevent abrasion with wet suits, especially in salt water.
And if Pam works, wouldn't a Teflon spray like Scotch Guard work even better? The original Aquablade, after all, had vertical stripes some of which were supposedly coated in Teflon. Why not just coat your shaved skin directly?
I wonder, however, how healthy it is to smother your pores in something designed for stain resistance.
Do we have any dermatologists within our ranks to comment on safety?
Only if this is established need we move on to Phase 3 clinical efficacy trials!
