Tried Mantic tip- what do others think

[natchez]

This morning just for the heck of it I tried a tip I saw in a Mantic vid to use hair conditioner in the shower on my beard for a couple of minutes before rinsing off. I grabbed my wife's conditioner and gave it is a go. The shave seemed better then normal, but it could just be a placebo effect. Has anyone else tried this tip and did it seem to work for you?

makes sense, that's what i used instead of goo with my disposables

I used "Dove Daily Moisture Therapy Conditioner" as a pre-shave for quite a few months. Seemed to work just fine. Presently I have two giant containers of KMF, so I have been using that instead.

I have a two in one shampoo / conditioner. I always rub my stubbles w/ it. It seems to soften them up.

I use Aussie 3 Minute Miracle. It very well could be a placebo effect as you say, but it seems to work for me. Or not. To be honest, I really can't feel a noticeable difference. Regardless if it gives noticeable results or not, it doesn't hurt to use it, so I use it anyway.

I admit he haves good tips, but being a North-South pass shaver since 16 years, i can not think about doing like him, WTG -ATG-XTG, that tear my face apart.

Just for the record, these are not "my" tips. I take what I see on the discussion forums and use them in the videos.

Mark,

No offense intended. Edited original post. Love your videos and saw this idea in one, tried it, seemed to work- only seeking confirmation.

Best, Richard

None taken, Richard. I periodically "put it out there" lest some of the newer folk think I'm taking the credit for someone else's idea.

I'm a fan of letting my facial hair grow and I religiously use conditioner in the beard but I never notice it to be any softer after I do. Then again wire grows out of my face so I can't expect too much... I'm serious if I grew my beard long enough you could braid it and it would have a higher breaking tension than those big steel cables! So back on track, I wouldn't expect a huge difference in using it or not. I'd say partial placebo with, at most, a minor softening of the stubble. But hey, for stubble it doesn't use much so if it helps keep at it!

Part of the trick to this ( I think) is to rub it in well with your finger tips and let it sit on your face a couple minutes before rinsing off. This works for me.

How do people compare this to the hot towel prep, if time was not of importance???

Might give a try for my next shave.

Meh...I've gotten good shaves both using the technique and going sans conditioner...lately I've gone very minimal in my shaving routine. Less is more and all
