Thread: Beginner Q: Soap vs Cream? Which is easier to lather?

What are you using for your post shave routine? The Nivea stuff for sensitive skin is great.

picked up a tube of the real shaving co from rite aid. for $4 it was worth a try. i'll put a little dab in my soap lather tomorrow.

as for post-shave, I dab the bleeding areas with my styptic, then apply Gillette Aftershave gel for sensitive skin. I like it a lot, but I'm open to other things too.

I get more irritation when I shave after a shower, so I'm going to try a cold shave tomorrow before I jump in the shower to see how it goes.

That reminds me of my pre straight razor days when I got the idea of using my disposable to shave in the shower. Man did my neck get irritated, well so was I that day. I still use Gillette's post shave gel too, I alternate it with Nivea's after shave balm.

Try a pre shave oil, make sure it's not for electric razors, we'll hear you scream!! I use Anthony pre-shave oil on my neck and it's great!
