Thread: gssixgun uberlather.....

For those of you looking, I bought my glycerin
at CVS Pharmacy in the skin care aisle.

I think the glycerine is inhibiting the razor burn I normally get ATG on my neck. Good job

What cream do you use for überlather? Regular postshavingcream?

Chris,
Some MSDSs declare glycerin to be a skin irritant and some don't. Like a lot of other things, individual sensitivities can vary. You might just be overly sensitive. You should work on that.
