Gel vs Shaving cream which one gives you a better shave and why

[Razorman08]

Shaving Gel Gillette Fusion HydraGel to be exact.

[J.J.]

hmmm, never tried cream.  always use Edge gel. 

[Sly Red]

My fave, King of Shaves MagnaGel.

Red

[GaryT]

Shaving cream, HeadBlade HeadSlick to be exact. I like something I can beat into a great lather!

My top 3 shave lubricants that I have used so far are
1. Headslick cream--- If i had to chose one this one would be the one I would reach for
2. king of shaves mme magnagel
3. Baldguyz shave gel

Edge gel for me too.

I actually prefer a shaving oil.

I've actually used Rite Aid label gel; (it's the equivalent to Edge shaving gel, but much cheaper than the name brand).

I actually prefer a shaving oil.

I've never heard of shaving oil before.  Do you get it in the local drug store?

I really like King of Shaves products, however sometimes I just buy cheaper products and they all seem to work fine. I am a believer that the razor is what really gets the best outcome. I do though prefer gel over shaving cream.

Most likely about anywhere you get shaving supplies, maybe not the grocery store.
Rite Aid, CVS, Bed Bath & Beyond, even Walmart (Shave Secret).

It come in VERY small bottles, it would be easy to overlook.

The other 3 I have tried:
Pacific All Natural
King of Shave (KOS), Alpha Oil and also Silicon

I am still deciding which of these I like best.
At this time it seems Pacific and KOS Alpha Oil

Hey Dan, I've watched that vid a few times. Do you do it just like that? Do you use glycerin?
Where do you get the glycerin if  you do use it?


TIA

Hey Dan, I've watched that vid a few times. Do you do it just like that? Do you use glycerin?
Where do you get the glycerin if  you do use it?
I use the all three ingredients, you can use any non can compressed cream, any quality shave soap and glycerin I got the glycerin at rite-aid, although I'm pretty sure any grocery store or wal-mart will have it too.
I myself don't have a scuttle, I just put some cream and glycerin in a pre-heated bowl(heated using a sink of hot water.to rinse and soak it in) After its been warmed up while I shower I simply just mix up the lather and try and keep it in the sink of hot water to keep the lather and brush warm while I shave. Because your loading the brush and using cream you don't need a whole lot of either, but I tend to load the brush rather heavy so I make sure I'm not short, just a nickel size drop of cream is all you really need, so I'm sure the headslick you use will be just fine. As for the amount of glycerin just a good squirt or drop or so (depedning on the bottle it comes in)

TIA

hope this helps and if you've got any confusion or questions, please feel free to ask
