Does anyone use a cream like Musgo or Poraso as a pre-shave. I have read posts on other forums about shaving with creams such as Musgo without lathering. Basically just rubbing it in with your hands like you would the canned stuff.

Has anyone tried this, but then lathered on top of it? I imagine this could be a good combo and a good prep method. I would not try this with a more expensive cream, obviously.
