putting lotion on before lather?

[Duggo]

OK, I've got a question.

It was sort of by accident that I tried putting on Vaseline with Cocoa Butter after a micro layer of water to dampen my face first.

Then I take a small amount of the product, which is like a paste as it exits the tube, so that is why it needs just a touch of water to thin it out.

So, after I apply a thin amount of this glorious stuff over my face and neck, I then proceeded to apply Arko (more glorious stuff,) lathered up and shaved.

So, what do you think of my procedure?

Thanks.

I was taught to put a layer of Lucky Tiger vanishing cream on before the lather, so unless the extra greasiness of the vaseline is a problem that keeps the lather from softening the beard, I would say your approach is very sound.

I put Noxzema on before lather. Blade moves much smoother.

Do you do that before the first pass, or all passes?

Thanks.

What I probably really do, when I am taking my time and doing it right, is spreading on the Lucky Tiger or say Corn Husker's lotion or whatever, lathering over it, then applying a hot towel. Then kind of wiping down after the towel and usually applying just the lather, but it would probably be better to reapply the moisterizer, too.

I just bought a 2.5 oz jar of "Noxzema - The Origanal Deep Cleansing Cream"

Is that the one?


Thanks in advance.

Yes. Wash your face with it. Rinse. Rub some more onto your wet face. Apply shaving cream. Shave. Awesome.
