Hello everyone. I may have finally found a shave cream that I can use without any irritation, redness, or burning. I posted a question on this forum about how to apply KMF so I decided to apply it by hand to my face and rub it in a bit. On the first WTG pass I thought I would see what my softest brush I own which is a Synthetic knot in an Ever Ready handle. It pretty much just spread it around my face. The brush collapses with any pressure on it, it just lays over. The second WTG pass I applied KMF by hand only. I can say this for it, it does the job. I could feel the blade yet there was no nicks and no razor burn. It was not a close shave, but after the bad skin irritation I had a few days ago...I was not going for a close shave. I was trying to "break my face in" so to speak and be gentle yet see how the KMF worked for me. I am happy with it. I finally have a shave cream (which may not be the best money can buy) that works for me without any burning, stinging, and irritation. I will give up some lather for a burn free shave. Overall I am happy with KMF, it works for me and my sensitive skin. I have found nothing out there so far that gave me a good shave without some sort of side effect (burning, stinging, redness, dry skin)....the KMF allowed me to shave symptom free. I think I have a new favorite cream.
