Pre Shave: Cream or oil?

[Stikeyoda]

I experiment with different oils, gels, pre shave soaps. Frankly the best is a puck of Glyce. Dampen the brush, a half dozen swirls, apply to face then move to the soap bowl to whip up the lather. The Glyce on the brush seems to accelerate and enrich the later as a side benefit.
