Hope I've entered this in the right section. I've recently been playing with shavette-type shavers. I've found that even with the utmost care, while they give excellent shaves, they leave my face tender. As an experiment I tried shaving with nothing but vegetable oil and water and the result was a substantial decrease in tenderness while still delivering an excellent shave. My technique was to wash my face with soap and water for a few minutes to hydrate, wipe off the excess water then rub vegetable oil into my skin, wipe a bit of water over the oil and then shave. Has anyone else used a similar technique, or be willing to give it a go and let me know what they think?
