Thread: pre-shave

any sweet pre-shave combos for the course hair dude's?

i have a pre-shave oil, warmed lather, hot towel, then shave.

any suggestions.

You know what ? If you got to the SOTD (shave of the day) you can see or have an idea how other ppl shave,i tell you i learn a lot on that section.But you have a very good idea for a good shave.

Here is what I normally do.

Hot water rinse followed by proraso pre post
Hot shower leaving proraso on
Lather over proraso
Hot towel
Lather
Shave.

Sometimes I will add a hot towel in between passes but this method gives me the best results.

If I do not shower before a shave I do this:
Proraso pre post for about 4-5minutes
Hot towel a couple times
Lather
Hot towel
Lather
Shave

Or you could follow this method:
HWR
Lather
Lather massage for a couple minutes
Hot towel over lather
Re-lather
Shave.

I always use one of these methods and I have coarse facial hair.
