What pre shave did you use today?

Just my usual quickie face wash with Grandpa's Pine Tar soap. I've tried, and hated, pre-shave oil. I shave before a shower, and a quick face wash with Neutrogina facial bar or Grandpa's, works as good as anything.

Proraso Green Pre-Shave
Proraso White Pre Shave - Right side of face
Noxzema - Left side of face
My followup side by side Pre Shave comparison between my new Proraso White Pre Shave (3rd use) and Noxzema which I've used in my Pre Shave arsenal for 3 years.
Cold water bowl lathered with Proraso Blue Shave Cream.
Menthol party with menthol in Pre Shaves, Cream, and After Shaves (Aqua Velva, Duke Cannon A/S Balm)
I applied each Pre Shave before every pass, WTG, XTG, ATG, cleanup.
I had a close comfortable BBS shave using the Fatip Grande and the Dorco Prime Platinum (2) blade.
No nicks, cuts, tugging or irritation.
Each side of my face was an equally close result and feel. Overall, I was pleased with both sides. Great Shave!
If you use Noxzema as a pre shave, you should get comparable results to Proraso Pre Shave.
Noxzema or Proraso Pre Shave?
In the best tradition of B&B, get both, your face will thank you.

Proraso Green Pre-Shave
Best preshave I've found so far is what I used today... a hot shaower.
CeraVe Hydrating Cleanser Bar
VDH Shave Butter
After washing my beard with CeraVe, I rinse and add a thin layer of very slick VDH Shave Butter. I like using super slicks such as Cremo, Trader Joe's Cream Shave and VDH Shave Butter as pre shaves to help razor glide.
