If its not helping why use it? Seems a waste to me.. (I think CF has Glycerin in it already which would explain why u didn't notice an improvement)

In my limited experience, I've found it helps sometimes. Experimentation is the rule of thumb.

QUESTION: In what aisle/section in CVS may I find glycerin? I've looked several times, but never found a bottle labled as such. Are you folks "dual purposing" personal lubricants or what?

No! I've already got twelve toothbrushes, because every time I go in the pharmacy, there's a girl serving. I have never actually bought a tube of KY Jelly.... is that what you mean?.... not for me or anyone else, but my guess is you've probably just inadvertently made a major discovery here. Maybe someone here will be able to sneak some into his scuttle(!) and tell us the result.

Thanked: 15I thought Astroglide was a silicone preparation?!? I have been using both glycerin and Lanisoh.... the lanisoh is so thick it is VERY hard to get it to mix into my lather. I guess I need to heat it first, but that would move my pre shave prep from 5 minutes to 15 at least LOL. I'll have to try the Astroglide or maybe WET. At last, another use for those bottles of lube! Hee hee...

Thanked: 275"Personal lubes" are either:
"water based" -- Astroglide, and most other common lubes (including "Wet", I think)(they usually have lots of glycerin);
"silicone-based" -- "Gun Oil", "KY Intrigue", etc -- largely in sex shops (look for "siloxane" or "dimethicone").
[There are also hybrid products, which I haven't tried.]
They both seem to work for "enhancing" lather.
