I bought brushless gel the other day.

I got cream yesterday.

https://ischiapp.blogspot.com/2023/06/postino-20230610.html

Today the first contact.

https://ischiapp.blogspot.com/2023/06/sotd-20230611.html

I was really impressed.
For less than €5, a nice amount (175ml) of a great cream.
Definitely thirsty, with a good synthetic gives the best.
With abundant primary lubrication, and good secondary lubrication.
In fact, the component derived from cellulose I feel effective.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !!!

Maybe you should go "old school" with some Gillette Foamy.

... some Gillette Foamy.

I've tried all kind of Gillette.
This is different.

As you can read the INCI:
Aqua, Stearic Acid, Palmitic Acid, Glycerin, Coconut Acid, Potassium Hydroxide, Triethanolamine, Benzyl Alcohol, Sodium Hydroxide, Parfum, Tocopheryl Acetate, Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose, Limonene, Menthol, Mentha Piperita Oil, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Sodium Chloride, Glyoxal.

Today, first contact with gel.
Not bad, but It's like all the others Gillette "old school" products.
Too much Palmitic, with heavy and mildly slick lather.
Adding water it works fine. Kinda ...
Good for a hurry shave.

Here the INCI:
Aqua, Palmitic Acid, Triethanolamine, Isopentane, Glyceryl Oleate, Stearic Acid, Glycerin, Isobutane, Sorbitol, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Parfum, PEG-45M, Tocopheryl Acetate, Menthol, Limonene, Butyrospermum Parkii Butter, Mentha Piperita Oil, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, PVM / MA Copolymer, Glyceryl Acrylate / Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Silica, Tocopherol, Lecithin, Ascorbyl Palmitate, Hydrogenated Palm Glycerides Citrate.

Today I wanted to have fun unifying two worlds ... closer than it seems.
Because IMHO classic shaving is based on technique, not tools.

With the help of the brush, and a lot more water, the result is excellent.
Brushless? Nes.
Yes, it doesn’t go like soap.
No, volume and compactness are changed.

The most striking detail was the lubrication.
Amazing primary, excellent secondary.
The razor (a little singing) remained silent for all three steps of the rite.
As well as the covering capacity. Not heavy as "natural", but velvety as the best shaving soaps and with a particular shine.
After drinking so much ... and working so much with the brush.
But it’s ancient. I didn’t want to risk a modern one.
But tomorrow it will be modern!!!

For those who have never seen a brush-mounted hi-tech brushless gel.
This is the end result, with a nice thick and compact layer.

Today, better brush and better result.

Not so much in the quantity and quality of the "montage".
But in speed. Paid for with a small increase in consumption.

Continuous use, however, also shows limits.
All gels tend to bring skin dryness.
In my case, this reactivates my seborrheic dermatitis.
In fact, I’m already starting to feel the first signs.
Although the shave is perfect, the comfort is not complete.

I have to rush back to more gentle advice.
But I consider this test a success.
The product is valid.

An expert can go further than a novice with poorer tools but there is a limit. It is self limiting. Mario Andretti can beat you in a race if he was driving a Subaru Outback and you were driving a Bugatti.

You need a good tool no matter how good your technique.

The gel is causing dryness to your skin, so "ULTRA SENSITIVE" printed on the can might be a little misleading? I am interested to see if the cream is more kind to your skin after several uses.

No. Every gel has a drier finish than a cream.
Perfect for geasy skin. Not mine.

Even today, very comfortable shaving.
I will use the cream for a few days.
Just to make sure it’s okay.
I am confident that my dermatitis will be good ...

Same test, reverse terms.
As the gel you can use with brush.
You can also use the cream without it.
In opposite ways, almost brushless.

Applying on slightly damp skin.
With the soap veil technique, there is a good result.

The lubricating film is efficient.
Fast and very covering.

Even with a little evolved razor, a good shave.
Full comfort, both during and after.

It can therefore also be a good travel option.
