I just picked this up this past Saturday...I used it Sunday with a DE razor with good results. This stuff likes water. I wet my face then applied the Cremo. It covers like a lotion and not a cream. It does not lather. I shaved and kept reapplying water to keep is slick. It worked well for my light growth that day along with my Gillette Flare tip DE.

BUT I tried it today with my straight razor and all i can say is YUCK! Since you have to keep adding water to it your free hand is always wet and slippery so I can never get a good pull to tighten my skin for the straight razor strokes. And since I am slower with the straight razor, it actually got dry.

I do like if for the DE razor though. Just not the straight.
