What's your pet peeve about wet shaving?

People still being scared. There is a slight learning curve. But it works better and is cheaper. The “new” 5-6 blade contraptions come to mind.
Would be if most of us stopped at what works.
I'd have to say I hate it when a well hydrated lather runs off the brush onto my fingers, or when I big gob of it falls off the brush onto my chest. Perhaps what I hate most of all is when water drips down my forearm. Dunno why, but it really bothers me.
After about 2 scent notes I find fragrance descriptions useless. And 4 or more just make my head spin. You just have to smell it and there really are no words for most creams/soaps etc.
Two spring to mind:
1. The lack of decent products in UK brick & mortar stores.
2. Manufacturers discontinuing or changing popular products

I gave it a shot tonight. Damn soap ran up my nose and into my eyes!

My only other suggestion is to get an antigravity mat and stand on that while shaving. Just google antigravity.
I can't fathom how someone wouldn't like the scent of PdP 63. Much less go to all the trouble of washing everything. It's one of my absolute favorites.
As for my pet preve, it's the endless re-formulations and new bases from some soap makers. Just when I find something I like it changes. Pick a formula and stick with it!

emoji on B&B is a minor pet peeve of mine. What the heck does it mean?
Nothing is better than bacon. If your post has been awarded a bacon emoji you have been honored.The bacon
This isn’t really a ‘pet peeve’. But a curious observation?
I have always wondered why many will wash their face with soap and water before their shave? Doesn’t the shave soap and brush accomplish this also? Seems redundant to me?

I shower before shaving to soften up my whiskers. Makes for a smoother shave, imo. I also seem to get a slightly closer shave with clean skin, although that could all be in my head.
I actually used to shave in the shower before I retired. Thinking about, I did wash my body and face first before I shaved.
Now, I shower at night to go to bed clean on clean sheets and then shave first thing in the morning at the sink. A splash of warm water on the face and then face lathering with a loaded brush of soap, I think cleans my face adequately just before I take a razor to it?
This has the added benefit that you can just let the weight of the razor do the work for you, instead of using pressure, as so many people recommend.Sounds like you have a gravity problem. Try shaving upsidedown
