Thread: Pre-shave Preparation

A simple washing of the face prior to shaving will soften the beard, then a decent lather to keep everything hydrated, all the other stuff is ok if you like the ritual. The noxema does a good job of hydration too. Your trying to over think it, what ever has worked for 40 years is what works for you why change? And the edge is where it's at, without a proper edge all it won't come together. And yes face hair is typically stiffer than arm hair, or head hair, but they are good indicators for sharp test as long as you have it calibrated to your needs. Tc
