Diprobase is an emolient not a hydrator.
In my case the primary determinant of my skin health is making sure I drink enough water. If I do that, I can make do with nothing but shaving soap, alum and snakebite splash and never need another thing. Sometimes I'm negligent with my hydration though, sadly.
+1 There is a lot to be said for using lots of plain old H2O. I have been getting good results from simply wiping some water all over my neck and face and then repeating 5 mins later when the skin has dried. My skin seems to drink a lot in post shave and it certainly makes my skin feel better.
Well the Zerobase has a greater water content than the Diprobase emolient cream.I was going to buy the big pump container at Savers of Cetraben, but found a small pump container online.
I haven't tried Cetraben or Zerobase yet.
