G'day everyone
Just wanting to share my latest pre shave routine
I had been having problems with drying lather
Asked some questions and got some great tips from the members
Warm shower, massage hair conditioner into whiskers &
leave face wet. Make lather with Lloyds citrus soap and Fauldings shave cream
(half inch long dollop), add some water as needed, got nice thick lather going
Lather face and leave on for about 5 minutes.
Brush had already been soaking in hot tap water during shower
Wash off lather with warm water, added few drops water to lather for extra moisture,
leave face wet and re-apply lather in a nice thick coating.
WTG pass felt smooth nearly all the way to the end, usual trouble spot for me is around the chin area, made a few angle changes and seemed to get a fair result.
Wash face again in warm water, and a few more drops of water mixed in the lather,
re-apply to face for XTG pass which turned out to be about 45 degrees pass,
shave turned out passable smooth with almost no irritation even 30 mins later.
AT this time I applied the Nivea after shave lotion
Nice result and lather feels much better
That was my experience
Sorry its so long winded
