Yesterday I did 3 passes (with/across/against)... and extra one (against), using conditioner. Wow, that glides like crazy and really made it super smooth. Anyone else tried that? (as final pass?)
Previously I used light lather, or water only, for that finishing pass.
Usually after my third pass I darn smooth, I can even get there in 2 now since figuring out my growth direction. What did you use as conditioner, just normal hair conditner?
Yeah, just the one my wife uses. Its a not a 'thick' conditioner... but quite 'runny'.
I used hair conditioner as a preshave for a time but found the wax was clogging my pores and caused greasy skin and some acne. I'm sure some can get away with it, others beware.
An alternative is watering down your existing lather, which makes it somewhat transparent while still providing some nice glide.
I tried it again during my last shave... but I think I will do not do it anymore... its too harsh on the skin that just has been shaved. I will use watery lather instead.
