Tuesday morning two solid days of stubble....
OCMM
CVS D-1
Rise Shave Gel
AOS Badger
WH
Barbasol Brisk
The Rise did a great job. Lots of slickeness for the OCMM to zoom through. Very comfortable and close shave.

Friday, August 26, 2011- Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, hand strop blade
- Lather: California Baby Super Sensitive Shampoo & Bodywash
- Brush: Frank Shaving Finest
- Razor: Ever Ready 1924
- Blade: Walgreen's Gem (4), 3 passes
- Post: WH, Aqua-Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade
I've noticed while washing my face w/ the California Baby just how slick it is so I tried it today as my lather. Definitely not a thick lather but boy, oh boy, was it super slick. I had a wonderfully easy, smooth, & comfortable shave with a rather aggressive razor, the ER '24. I'm going to keep using this with a couple other razors to see how it keeps performing. Last time I used this razor with a more traditional lather I still had some irritation. Today's shave with the super slickness produced zero irritation even though I did one more pass than I tend to do.

Just can't bring myself to use a body wash as a shaving soap. Glad it works for you

Yeah, it was hard for me to even try it but I'm learning that a slicker surface is more important for me than any cushion. I think my face may be more resilient than I've given it credit for as long as I provide a better surface for the razor to glide on.
What is your slickest soap/cream. I see the Rise shave gel getting praise for it's slickness but I couldn't find it at my dollar general. This bodywash probably isn't too different than that.

I have never shared this in any sites at all yet. Cuz I don't want folks thinking wierd stuff about me.  But, my work in the community brings into touch with some of the various outreach organizations in the community that distribute harm reduction products. One of the things handed out is for safe sex and it is a personal lubrication product. (  ) I am so addicted to this shaving thing, that I saw these sample packets and wondered "hmmmmmm, what would that be like to shave with?  ". So, I explained my bad shaving habits, and whether the outreach worker believed me or not, I was handed a schwack of these personal lubricant products. I know!! Anyhooo. This stuff is called Aqualube and it is NOT intended for shaving, if ya know what I mean! However, that said, if you like SLICK products for shaving - THIS IS YOUR STUFF!!!!  www.aqua-lube.com/Now, the website is not for shy people. Nope. But, that stuff works like a damn!!!!!! Nuff said. |
