Thread: Introduction and first question

Yes, oiling before the shave makes a slippery mess. I use vitamin E oil, several drops rubbed into the face, the night before I shave the next morning. It has soaked in good before the shave, but seems to make the shave go nicer.
Try a hand towel soaked with really hot water over a lathered-up face (2 applications) for a minute or so before lathering up to shave.
Makes all the difference in the world.
What lather are you using? Many will benefit from 4 or 5 drops of Glycerine in the mug as well!
