Canman,

Sorry, I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

I have no personal experience of this - my lather keeps things pretty friction-free and I worry about dryness after the shave. But, I think I've heard some other guys on the forum mention using moisturising cream under their lather...? I might be wrong there.

Also, I've never had much luck with soaps on my face. Perhaps a cream might work better.

Best of luck,

James.
