Thread: Extra prep needed for straights?

Was curious if extra prep is needed for straights over DEs. For you guys who switched from DEs to straights, did you have to change anything in particular about your preshave routine? Is simply showering before the shave enough?

Also besides prep, did you change anything else moving to straights? I get good comfortable shaves out of my DEs so I might assume I am doing enough prep but maybe it's not enough for straights. It is usually just a shower, and maybe some kind of preshave product.
