To get BBS I will often continue shaving after the second pass without applying more lather. Someone else on this forum, I forget who, will do a dry shave pass to get really close -- I find the oil helps this without giving me burn. Definitely worth a try.

Also worth trying is Motlon Brown's lemon shave wax. That's not pre-shave but an alternative to soap or cream. It's handy for travelling and gives a surprisingly smooth and effective shave. I would use it more if it weren't for the fact that I enjoy the whole cream/brush/scuttel/warm lather experience!
A little more info on the wax please?? I am looking for something to travel on one day trips, long trips I take an arsonal but I do a lot of last minute 1 day just would be easier. I tried there non lathering cream not bad I was going to try Aveda next but maybe I should give the wax a try.
