as a long time user of king of shaves shaving products, both the oils and the gells, i noticed in the shaving section at my local superstore[ sainsburys] a gell by the real shaving company, the product was the super slide shaving gell. after a couple of days use i noticed that used over a shaving oil on the face, it gave a bone close shave[the closest shave i have ever had] i use the hydro for face shaving, and have never had a closer shave, however using the same procedure on the head , i had real problems with razor drag, i got a extremly close shave, but there was so much drag i felt as though the razor was going to dig in and cut me[ the next shave it did and bit me. wont be using it on the head eny more, but it is a superb product for face shaving
