2020 has been an interesting year for sure! In addition to global pandemics and a variety of other crazy stuff, we've seen a HUGE surge in men's grooming products, including more shaving creams and shaving oils. While I have I have been sticking to Cremo and HeadSlick, what have you been using?
I wash with my wifes shampoo then rinse. While still wet, I put a dab of conditioner and rub it in until my whiskers are nice and soft then shave with my de. Works well for me. I also have some shaving gel which also works great! I think it's important to wash off the oil and salt prior to shaving.
@clint902 I agree that it's important to wash off your scalp and face before shaving.
I also use Cremo, but started using Col Conk shaving soap Bay Rum and a synthetic brush , from West Coast Shaving. This is my favorite, as of now. Very slick and rinses off easier than Cremo.
I'll upvote the Cremo products. I've tried the Refreshing Mint and Classic. Both are great. Based solely on the smell, I prefer the Mint version.
