Then again, it all goes back to what the individual shaver prefers.

Obie,

You're correct...It doesn't feel right to add glycerin to top-tier shave creams such as TH or Trumper's or TOBS.

At the same time, I've found that adding just a few drops of glycerin to my shave creams helps combat their tendency to dry out on my face while I am shaving during the winter months when my central heat is on.

As you said, "it all goes back to what the individual shaver prefers."

My dear Jhenry:

That is an excellent point. Thanks.
