Hi all and Merry Xmas..
As a newbie, I'm still trying to get the pre-shave approach right, to help with that nice glide and would appreciate some feedback on a problem I'm having. Current approach is:
1. Hot towel for a minute
2. Trumpers Sandlewood skinfood for pre rubbing into face (just started doing this, as I wasn't getting any glide and had a bit of pulling)
3. Trumpers Eucris shaving soap, lathered up well in a scuttle and applied to face
4. Trumpers skinfood applied post shave.
The shave is great, gliding over the skin and cutting very nicely. The problem is, that since I've started using the skinfood as a pre shave, the shaving soap is drying out quite quickly, so that by the time I get to the difficult areas (chin), the razor is no longer gliding, even with a fresh lather..
I understand that some use oils rather than the skinfood, so any feedback on getting that nice glide from pre-shave something, that doesn't dry the shaving soap, (or possibly correct something I'd doing wrong) would be much appreciated.
thanks and cheers,
Kev
