Thread: The art of shaving.

I have about 10 differnt creams and 5 different soaps, all of them give great lather.The thing is, it wouldn't build up in the bowl.(I've tried two times, very little water, slowly adding.) But once I applied it on my face it was very dence and thick.
So mabe the sample stuff isn't consentrated, like pre mixed.After all it worked like a dream.If you guys says it lathers fine, then there is just another reason for me to get it.Int. that you mention the CF BeBerlin, that is my favoutite brand.And I just bought a lot of different creams and lotions from them.Sadly I have to say that I tought the AOS was better...

BTW: If you buy something from Trumper.com.You will get 4 different creams, 3 different skin food and 8 different colognes
(All samles,but good size) for 4£.

Weird that you couldn't get the cream to lather, it lathered up for me in under 30 seconds and was really thick...

I really enjoy AOS creams. Ive been really tempted to get the unscented soap. The smell of there unscented actually has a good smell to me unlike a lot other unscented stuff out there. I also have never had any isue with lathering the cream.

I use three AOS products, all with a sandalwood scent which I like very much. I use the preshave oil, the shave cream and the aftershave balm. All the products are excellent. I did not believe the preshave oil would be a benefit until I started using it. It does make a pronounced difference in the comfort of the shave and is removed during the shave process, so none remains after shaving. I have found the best way to apply the oil is to first make sure my face and my hands are very wet. Then the oil goes on well and I just wipe my hands with a towel to dry them. No oil remains on my hands. Just a little goes a long way.

What does the pre shave actually do? Is it just lubrication or do they perform another function as well?
