Witch hazel is good for post shave.Thanks to Kevy for sending the parcel - arrived today and got my first shave in. Posted details of my routine in SOTD. Started off with the EJ DE89 and Derby blade, seems to be suitably mild and also fairly standard. Definitely missed some parts of my face and hit others too deep! Seems not to have got as close as a cartridge yet, although I was going gentle today and think I still need to work on my lather, was thinking I'd got for the direct application to the face technique although it may be easier to use a bowl/mug for re-soaping I think. Hoping to shave again soon. If anyone else wants it please let me know.
Was thinking about getting some proraso pre shave cream and some cheapy Witch Hazel for post... any thoughts on either of those would be great - they seem to be commonly used.
Pre shave? You're on your own, never used it as relied on the lather and hot shower.
