Having had mixed results with different combos of kit n creams, along with skin thats sensative to essential oil (thou I'm not sure which ones yet). I have decided to roll back to basics and have discovered that for the past three days I have been having really comfortable, very close no niks shaves, using just COLD WATER. After the shave my skin feels tighter and smoother!.
My combo for the past few days has been
SS flaretip and a tech
7 oclock yell
palmolive stick, grated & bowl lathered
finished with Prof. Blightys special unction-without any essential oils
The blade does seem to need more pull and it is a little noisier than with warm/hot shaving, i understand thats because the hair is stiffer with cold water. Under neck area is calm with no niks/burn.
I'll will try my other shave cremes over the coming days and keep you posted. :shave
