So, even though I'm only on my third shave since the 2nd, I've been reading up and saw a few recommend a drop or two of aloe vera to be added to shaving gel/cream for ultra slick and great feel.
Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah........
To those of you preaching this, please add a disclaimer for newbies. This is not to be done without first getting the basics of shaving your head down with simple gel + razor or whatever you start with. While I didn't gouge myself too bad, I do have a few holes I'm leaking from. The shave was done (as normal) with a new blade, Fusion gel and patience, with the only addition this time being Aloe. Maybe it made it too slick or maybe I still don't know pressure and pushed too hard but for those starting out, I'd say keep the Aloe for post shave, not during it.
Just thought I'd share my experiences.
