Does the chlorine impact your shave or your shave (e.g., choice of soap, cream, AS, etc.)? I find that certain products dry me out way too much to be used when I shave after my morning swim. For example, I can't use Proraso green AS after a swim; the white one is fine though. Any of the T&H balms are great, however.
Any Swimmers Out There?

funny - when last we swam, we would keep our faces shaggy for additional drag until race day. i tried to, anyway.
my apologies - this reply isn't helpful in the slightest. good luck and happy swimming!

And for "States," we'd shave (almost) everything. Wasn't using a straight or DE then (thankfully I think).
I'm in the pool 2-3 times a week (learning to swim), and find the same thing - the chlorine dries me out. I make it a point to moisturize after the shower, and have gone back to using jojoba oil as my pre-shave face moisturizer.
co-ed shave parties! sometimes i have to remind myself that things like that actually happened.
I haven't done any extensive swimming (former water polo player) in some time, certainly not since I've gone DE.
The only product I have that I would guess would be less comfortable due to dry skin from swimming would be Arko. I'd probably use balm afterwards more often rather than WH.

Never had any problems. However the pool I use has bromine, not chlorine in it.
