What is the difference between this 2 products? Can they both used on the final pass and achieve the same result ?
Cutting balm and Finishing balm?

Yes, to your last question. From my experience, cutting balm soaks into the skin more and is a bit lighter, wheras finishing balm is more heavy and sits more on the skin. I thought finishing balm was quite powerful in terms of getting the last stubble down but I found it left too much oil on my skin even after the shave, so after moisturizing I was greasy. Maybe I was using too much, but I'm fine just sticking with cutting balm now.

I don't know why I thought it would be the opposite of what you're saying.
Thanks for the reply
I'm in the process of finding the sweet spot with the hydrolast products. A friend was good enough to make me a sample kit (thanks, efnar!), and I have found that finishing balm alone left me afraid I was going to peel my face off with the Feather in my razor. I went with a full mix (slag, paste, cutting balm) for the final polish, and got one hell of a BBS shave.
