Bart's Balms, look no further!I have never used a pre-shave product but today, with a 5 day growth and a blade that's 2 shaves old, I thought I'd use a free sample that came with a blade-selection-pack.
None of the expected "I've left it too long" and "Should've used a fresh blade" aggravation. No tugs or burns and none of the expected blade-clog (I use an open comb).
I don't know what it was, the pot was unmarked. It was white and cream-like, so I'm assuming it was not an oil. Light texture with little greasy residue and with a strong-ish menthol feel and fragrance.
Not wanting to empty my wallet on a search, anyone recommend a reasonably-priced, or even cheap, example? Wouldn't object to lavender instead of menthol either?
Burts Balms, look no further!P.
Bart's Balms, although Burts Bees is also very good!Bart's Balms or Burt's Bee's Paul?
You saw my mistake......well spotted !Bart's Balms or Burt's Bee's Paul?
Yes inded just contact @BartsBalm via PM if you need help. P.Barts for me too, I'm sure that there's a discount code on this site which still works
Absolutely but there was no granular texture?Sounds like it could be be Proraso pre-shave cream - which is a white thick paste with a very, very slightly rough / granular texture and quite a strong eucalyptus and menthol smell
Did it make your face tingle a few seconds after applying it ?
Bart's Balms, look no further!P. He does a lovely lavender scented one using EO's, top stuff and very reasonable in price. Can be used as a pre shave and aftershave.
Your welcomeP.
@Hullblazer - I've done a comparative review of a number of pre-shave oils on the thread below. I've not updated it in some time, though.
Pre-Shave Oils: A Comparative Test
As you may already know, I'm a big fan of pre-shave oil and use it regularly as I find that it really makes a difference in achieving an irritation-free shave. I've recently bought a few products I've not tried before and have not, as yet, come across a comparative comparison of either these...www.theshavingroom.co.uk
