Just did my second (partial) SR shave this morn. No cuts! Used the foam-in-the-can instead of the Key West aloe Frictionless cream I used yesterday (pretty...
Hi Joe, IMPO the shaving soaps and brush are extremely better than the stuff in a can, besides it is more fun to apply with a nice brush and the brush...
I agree with Bill: shaving soap or cream/brush combination beats the canned stuff any day. When you apply the foam with a brush, each hair is coated and...
Foam and gels in a can are cheap imitations, IMO. Cream, vs soap: Keep in mind that a cream (that is used with a brush), is simply soap with water added. some...

Steve, this is IMO and others will surely object or hold differing opinions. Short answer is yes. Long answer is complicated. Your skin type, how much oil you...
Steve, I'm gonna weigh in here, but I am sure many will object to my method! I typically rely on my shaving cream and brush to do most of the hydrating on my...
Blake, it's off to straight shavers jail for you. do not pass go. do not collect 200 dollars. Until you repent and say 100 our badgers, and 200 cup soaps, and...
