I may have to invest in a towel to soak, as after reading this I am thinking to myself...I wonder if prep is the culprit of my shaving woes? Hmm. My biggest problem is that I don't have a lot of hot water to play with, even in the shower. Maybe soaking with a towel will help, or perhaps some conditioner.

I have been building lather on my face and I have to say it is really nice. Makes my face feel tingly clean after shaving, and the brush on your face is almost like a massage, perks you right up in the morning (or in the early evening when I get up, heh)
