I finally found ONE thing that works very well for me cremo beard scruff softner or the beard face wash softens up the tug quite a bit does nothing for the slickness though and IMHO the soap does that just fine and it should as that is its job
use it more like a wash and then rinse and start my shave leave it on while prepping
This works better than a shower even
I have gone through one whole jar already and go back and forth have not said much over the months as sometimes I wonder and chalk it up to lucky or new blade
today was super smooth even with a blade that yesterday was getting tugy
Other things I tried that I cant decide if they work ?
maybe the best besides the cremo is just putting shave soap I am going to use on early let sit for minute or so while I prep my razor and prep lather ?
proraso green Have to get some white and see what I think it might help ? Just not sure
also the conk soap I just rub and I think it helps a tiny touch
need to try noxema used to use it in the 80s good be fun retro fun
also want to try the cube from PAA
NOW that all said with just water or after shower I do have better days and worse days that is why I often think my preshave days was it just a great shave day ? and the difference of the others besides the cremo have all been subtle at best that is why I just do not know
I do like the simplicity though of just water rub some soap I plan to use and leave on then wash off lather up and go ! Simple no extra product
