I've been reading the forum for a few months now, and I haven't noted anyone stating they use facial scrub prior to shaving. For me, whether I'm doing my prep with just hot towels or a shower, I wash my face thoroughly with facial scrub. The stuff that has fine grit in it and really cleans my pores and lifts my beard. I get a much better shave from doing this and have been using it for years. Anyone else tried this?
