Yes, ubber uses soap, cream and glycerin, that is what I mention in my post. Only difference is I prefer glycerin soaps, they are better on my skin.

I don't know but I've been told: Using gell will shrink your, "you know".

Give it a try, might work well for you.Quote:

Brother, if what comes out of a can satisfies you then so be it. I have used that stuff in the past and it worked for me at the time but after learning how to make the puck work, I find it much better for the straight shave. It's like it doesn't get under the blade and so it cuts closer. Only way I can describe it. But once again , go with what works for you and your routine.
I only know of one guy that pissed off the razor gods. May he rest in peace.:cry:
I , as well , most often use "Mama Bears" shaving soap.
You might be right if he tries to shave his you know what...Quote:

never tried a Gel with a straight but if it works for you then why not.
Don't give up on the soap. These are a learning curve by themselves but once you dial in it is all worth it.
Try making a few batches of lather just to test.
