I have been draining - literally - a bottle of Headslick all week, intending to buy a new one over the weekend. I forgot all about it yesterday and today I took a day off from shaving. I finally remembered late in the day while I was doing some other chores, but by that time the local CVS was closed. I was in the supermarket and had to get something for tomorrow morning's shave, so I picked up a small can of Edge Gel. I noticed that Dana White of the UFC was pictured on the can. Gilette has never marketed any of their products specifically to head shavers, as far as I know, but this looks like they may be finally trying to get a piece of this niche of the market. It definitely lends credence to the argument that sly has gone mainstream.
Oh Razor... run from that canned stuff. Get yourself some GOOD shave soap!

I have never tried shave soap. What kind would you recommend and where might one find it?
A good starter soap would be Van der Hagen shave soap. It can be found at any Wal-Mart and most drugstores like CVS and Walgreens. It has a great, clean scent and lathers pretty well.

I love the RazoRock shave soaps. Mike's Naturals soap is also very nice.
I am into my 3rd can and have had good luck using Edge gel. IIt produces a thick rich lather when applied with a brush.
i've used edge before in the past on my face works pretty good
I used edge gel this morning (I am out of my fav head slick mentholated) I have stubble already and its only been 3 hours. I'll have to shave again after work
In the past I used to keep a can of it in evac kit...it was ok and the results were good.
I have tried about everything over the last 12 years, and finally have been shaving my head, and face at the same time using VAN DER HAGEN ! It has a Black Cup, Black Brush, great soap smells good and it is a good hot shave you feel refreshed. I then have found I have the best luck with Fusion Razors and blades. After the shave take a good shower and put on some fufu and ready to rock and roll. Mainly rock in my chair
I still prefer Headslick as the Edge gel does not give me a close enough shave and yes stubble is an issue earlier in the day.
