wow... i wonder though, most of them are water based... so, i would assume it would require less water, and considering the fact that they tend to "wear out" after a while... (its designed to stay in place only long enough for natural... "lube"... to kick in) im actually shocked it lasted enough to shave with...

have you tried shaving with just the KY? might be an expensive way to do it... but considering its safeness for the skin, and its highly lubricative qualities... im pretty sure you should be able to get one hell of a shave out of it... just apply a thick layer, and dont work it in much... maybe even an undercoating?
