I often read of a thing called "cushion" in lather but mainly by DE/SE shavers. What is this thing called "cushion" and does it affect SR shaving?
So is cushion the same as slickness for an SR shaver?Essentially it is a film that allows the razor to glide close to skin while offering a cushion of protection against razor burn irritation, nicks, and cuts.
I think cushion in most soaps is a achieved by how one dials it in. Some soaps probably can achieve a density with adequate slickness for most DE shavers to produce the cushion we like. Other soaps my need to be hydrated to a point that cushion is as good in order to get the necessary slickness. Regardless of the razor, I don’t think anyone will argue slickness is the primary objective.All very interesting. I have one cream, Nivea Sensitive for Men, that works well for me with a DE but not with an SR. My Proraso green cream works great with an SR but I find it not as good as the Nivea with the DE. It could because of "cushion".
Funny, I discussed the same thing yesterdayI often read of a thing called "cushion" in lather but mainly by DE/SE shavers. What is this thing called "cushion" and does it affect SR shaving?
