Hi guys,

I am still trying to gather all of my supplies to begin the straight shaving venture, and while swimming the vast sea of shaving soaps and creams I have become somewhat overwhelmed . So, I thought maybe I could start off with one that was similar in make up to the can type stuff I have used and liked for many years.

When using the dreaded Mach 3 I have always used Noxema's medicated for Sensitive skin which states it's active ingrediant to be 1% Dimethicone. I really like the way this stuff leaves my face feeling. It's hard to describe, but it is very similar to the way regular Noxema skin cream makes your skin feel, or the way Mentholatum makes your skin feel but with no burn at all..

I plan on trying all kinds of soaps and creams, I just thought it would be nice to find something similar to what I know I already like.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
