I'm new to this DE shaving, just waiting for my razor to turn up.
I can Wet Shave with a Gillette Fusion and some dodgy Gillette Gel without any pain or rash so I'm assuming my skin is not exactly sensitive, but I keep seeing Pre Shave Oils and balms, which I've never come across before.
Are they needed, or is it purely down to personal preference.
I intend to use some proper shaving Soap with a proper lather, and I have ordered some After Shave balm as well, along with an Alum block in case of some minor scrapes.
Is there anything else I'm missing.
Oh yes, I have also ordered a selection of blades.
