I can't answer your question, but would like to ask one.
Is that an oil? I ask only because I occasionally use King of Shaves shaving oil and would like to try another pre-shave to have something else to compare to.
No it's kind of like a thick milk. And not that thick. I squirt a shot of it onto the soap before I later it up. I really don't know if it makes a difference. I like using Cremo Cream or Prorasso pre shave before lathering both are great. I have gotten great shaves both Saturday and this AM though and I was using the feather pre shave so.:shrug:
Thanks, Rich. I've used Cremo Cream as shave cream alone before when I was a M3er but never since I've been shaving with a straight. I got a good shave using it, though. I'm going to buy a tube and use it as a pre-shave under my Trumpers cream.
I seem to get a really comfortable shave when I use the KoS shave oil so I'm anxious to see how it is with the Cremo under the lather.

It works really well for meQuote:

Then I tried whipping it up with a brush as a standalone cream and THAT I like. It behaves a little differently than any other cream I've tried, as far as building a lather goes, but I've found using a bit wetter brush and a little extra time whipping it make for a GREAT shave. All by itself. It seems thick out of the tube and a little goes a long way for me. Doesn't dry out, stays slippery, and doesn't irritate. Well unless you count that pina colada smell making you jones for a cocktail.....................................Jeff
Whenever I put it on I am thinking Pina Colada. UMMMMM:DQuote:
