i have found that preshave oils do not work any better for me than not having them. have not tried the cremo cream. did try using a CUBE, per charles roberts, and some shave cream, but no better than shave cream alone. what does work is when i use a QED shave stick for touch up and dont lather it. kinda like i guess using jojoba oil but not as messy. the shave stick is super slick and kinda coats the face and i can make repeated quick passes over the same area without irritation
