Fendrihan just recently posted a number of new Feather products including some new carbon steel blades and a new product I'd never seen before called Hi-Shave Moist Gel. Everything but the name is printed in Japanese and I've never seen or experienced anything quite like it. It's totally clear save for a few little floating dots that seem to be capsules that gellify in water.
I remember the first time I used a real shave cream (Castle Forbes) and how it was leaps and bounds better than the Edge Gel dreck. This was like that experience. I've never had anything that's so slick and so light at the same time. It's a strange feeling to not have any foam on your face and yet the blade glides over your skin with hardly any sign of friction. You can literally see the hairs coming off your face as you shave. It's been great as I get into straight razor shaving as it makes the blade much more forgiving.
Has anyone else tried this before?
