Personally, I use Castle Forbes's "The Pre Shave" for problem areas. Works like a charm.

Thanks for that link, I haven't read that one yet(-:

There are a variety of pre-shave products on the market, but you will probably have to order on-line if you aren't in a major market. One thing I do is to lather before getting into the shower and wash my hair and face last keeping the lather on as long as possible. I re-lather before stropping and touch it up a bit if needed. I also re-lather before re-stropping before my final pass. I know that is a lot of lathering, but it has made a difference for me. I use Col. Konk almond soap for all lathering.
