That MWF has additives that irritate me during and after my shave…
What did you learn from your last shave?

You've obviously not yet mastered the "Tech slide",
The “Tech slide” works with the Tech as it has small blade exposure. Doing it with a razor with more exposure is a recipe for nasty slices. I do agree that it’s not something am good at.
I love their Jermyn Street most of all. Too bad it’s also the most expensive.
That Proraso Green cream is great stuff.
That applying a little soap, in this case Tabac, before my hot towel, then a little of my cream for the day afterward, before actually face-lathering, contributes to a great shave and leaves my face feeling clean and renewed, too.

That washing my face with leftover lather after I’ve used the alum block causes the alum to roll up into little beads that then wash away with the lather. It leaves my skin clean of any chemicals that were used during the shave and readies it for the hyaluronic acid and moisturizer.
Yes Grasshopper. It is very much like that.That sounds like "rub off, rub on."
Trying this tomorrow ..... usually I do this the other way ‘round
Pay more attention to my chiseled manly jawline cause ingrowns suck lol
LMK how it goes for you.
i learned that shave sticks >>> pucks.
got a Lea stick (tallow) in the mail....first stick i've ever used and I got a BBS shave with only 2 passes (normally do 3).
i think its because applying the stick to your face/head prior to the lather really 'digs' the soap into the follicles in areas where it normally doesn't get. i love it.
i still have some pucks to get through like MWF, schafmilch, but after that i'm exclusively going to use sticks (lea, la toja, speick, palmolive, razorock).

If your puck isn’t sealed in its jar, it’s just a big-boned shave stick
Pre de Provence is a hard long lasting soap. I’ve hardly dented the puck, been using it for weeks.
That with a 36-hour beard (as compared to a 48), I don't really need a third pass. Like with my 24-hour shaves, one pass on cheeks and lower lip, then two on the throat should do it. I have no irritation, but I am definitely aware of having shaved.
It is amazing how hard PdP is. I could still read the raised lettering on both of my pucks after about a dozen shaves.
Adding a pea size dot Proraso Green cream in the bottom of bowl along with my hard soap makes a great lather.
Superlather. Add about three drops of glycerin and you have Uberlather. There is a post on the Sharpologist about it.
