Thread: Pulling skin tight? ATG

I have every base plate they make. H1 R1 M1 H2 R2 M2 Slant closed bar and slant open comb.

"You Sir Are Well Prepared". I also have the seven piece ATT shaving system. I have. The H2, H1' and R1. I prefer doing my three pass shave with the R1 plate. I get very good BBS shaves without irritation. I use a light application of Noxzema cleansing cream as a pre-shave prep and lather directly over-top. I apply the Noxzema before each razor pass. I rinse with cold water.

I have several brands of DE blades not mentioned in your list. I can send you a few different ones to try. My blade of choice these days is Rapira Platinum Lux.

Thank you! I have only tried pre shave oil, it felt pretty tacky didn't like it so I didn't try anything else (pretty dumb). I will try your recommended steps. I would really appreciate trying some different blades thank you!
