What pre shave did you use today?

Reached for King of Shaves Advanced Shave Oil forgetting I was using a hard soap today, rubbed in some MWF water afterwards.

My pre shave routine lately is to apply some of the soap or cream I’m whipping up and aggressively hand lather. I really work a thin layer of product into my whiskers and massage vigorously going ATG with the back of my hand. After a minute or so of this I continue to prepare my brush and when loaded go straight to my face. I like that I’m using one product for both pre and lathering and I’m satisfied with the results so far. I have tried a dab of Cremo, a brushless shave cream in my pre massage technique, then another soap or cream for the shave.

Proraso red sandalwood, I love the scent and I find it more effective than my pre shave oil.

Rubbed some Arko, that spilled out of the smallish tub into my whiskers. This has become a pre shave routine with most soaps. Really working that product into my whiskers by hand, then go back to loading and give it a chance to soften things up. Creates a nice base for the brush to do its thing.
