Title: For those who use FOAM or GEL!
Post by: jumissa.fi on July 20, 2008, 08:21:55 AM

So, basically I use shaving foam to do my dome.. BUT theres one problem with foams and gels that i´ve discovered..
They doesnt seem to apply enough glide to me..

So the thing is: What do u guys use under ur layer of foam or gel to apply more glide for shaving?

Thnx of all responses allready in advance :)

What I have found that works best for me is baby lotion.   I got a straight razor shave of my face in Vegas and the barber told me that baby lotion was the best thing to aid the razor while shaving.  I tried it myself when I got home and have been using it ever since.

I know people use baby oil. Personally I use gel, but if used foam and wanted some slickness, I'd go with King of Shaves shave oil. Just a couple drops

Yes good ol Johnson's Baby Oil, the clear stuff.  Bought a bottle about a month ago and still have not used a fourth of it yet.  Makes a big difference in my opinion.

For me it's Shave Secret from Wal-Mart, no foam no gel.

Since I've been using the Bald Guyz Shave Gel, there is no need to use anything else with it.  It does a great job by itself.

I use the Nivea for Men Xtreme Comfort gel and don't have any problems with it.

I used to use Gillette shave Gel but for the past year and a bit I have been using King of Shave Oil I use the "AlphaOil Shave Oil Extra Dry Skin". I have a Goatee and like to see where I am shaving a one slip, and i could end up looking Lop sided!

I also use the baby oil underneath my shave gel.  I use the Aveeno brand of shaving gel - the one with the dark blue top - extra moisturizing I think?  Great combo for me.
