Thread: Pre-shave

I just recieved Feather pre-shave that I bought from Classicshaving.com. I used it this AM and don't know what to make of it yet. Has anyone else used it???

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.

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 me

Never tried the Feather stuff, but the Cremo I like. I first tried it under other creams as Rich suggested some time ago, but couldn't tell much difference. Then I tried it without a brush as a standalone cream as CREMO suggested. Didn't like that. I had to use way too much to get the desired coverage. 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

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
