Drop the pre-shave scrub. That, in my opinion, is asking for trouble.

  • Bic Sensitive
    Gillette Gel
    Envy EDT
    [/list:u]

    Tuesday
    • DE 89
      Astra Platinum
      Taylors Cream
      WS Boar
      OS Whitewater[/list:u]

      Tried a couple of in shower shaves, neither good. The 1st left me feeling a bit raw, so I thought I'd contrast it with how I used to shave. Conclusion I think shower shaving isn't for me as the result of the gel/bic was not much worse than the Jagger/cream.
 
Vulfix 404 Grosvenor (the great bodger)

Looking forward to my SOTD with F31 when Royal mail arrive. :shave
 

Agreed,

In my opinion even though scrubs "prepare" the skin for shaving, they also rub your face raw leaving it already a bit more sensitive than it should be. Just a standard face wash usually does the trick for me.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

1964 Macys silvertip
1958 Executive/Iridium
The Soap Opera Himalaya SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
vintage Dior 'Eau Savage' EdT

BBS results,

Martin
