Grooming Department - Pre Shave

I consider myself one of the fortunate ones who has a sample of the pre-shave from Mohammad. I was able to give it it's first try, for which I am impressed. As most are aware, Grooming Department soaps/creams are at the top of the game.

Today, I used the pre-shave (unscented) in conjunction with GD Chypre Conifère soap. You can feel how slick the pre-shave is when it is on your hands. I followed Mo's instructions on how to apply/use the product. My first observation was that it actually improved the lather of this already exceptional product! The best way I can describe it is that the lather presented as thicker when applied to the face. The blade did effortlessly glide across the skin just a bit better than before on the first and second pass (I only do two passes). Where the difference was the most noticeable was ATG under the nose. The best performance I have had in this area yet! Another observation, when I rinsing the face after the shave, I could really feel how slick my skin was. I have never experienced this with any shaving product.

In summary:

1. Yes, the pre-shave does improve the slickness during the shave
2. Yes, the post shave feel was improved. My upper lip has never felt this smooth/irritation free following a shave, period. If with Chypre Conifère post shave alone was a 9.5, with it, it's a 9.8. That said, It is awfully difficult to improve on this soap all by itself.

I'm curious how the scented versions complement/conflict with a shaving soap of choice. I will have to experiment and would love to get Mo's opinion/input. I will experiment with other shaving soaps/creams to see how/if the performance improves. However, I am getting to the point of why use a shave soap/cream from any other source when Grooming Department's are this good!! Can't wait to place an order!!!

Thank you Mohammad!! Another winner!
