On soap/shaving foam -- absolutely. I asked an old-timey barber what his product of choice was and he answered "soap after a shower", in awe, as if what I was asking him some obvious question. Sure enough, it worked fantastically and I haven't stopped since. I use a DE and beyond that first month of slice and dice and coagulant markers, it's been smooth sailing since.
- DonaldFisk 4y agoYou don't even need soap. Your stubble will be saturated and easily shaveable immediately after the shower.
- canuckintime 4y agoMy problem was with the fogged up mirror after a shower. I tried some 'solutions' (spraying mirror with a fog proofing liquid, separate showering room etc) but eventually went back to shaving before showering
- devilbunny 4y agoAntifog coatings from any scuba supply shop help, but one really effective method is just to aim a hair dryer at the spot you need clear. Not only does it get rid of fogging there, it prevents new condensation from forming because of the residual heat.
- igetspam 4y agoThis. I shave with water and a mach-3. Have used this technique for over 25 years. Can't think of a time when I've had razor burn. I can't recall the last time I cut myself either. I even go against the grain at the end (people who witness this seems to cringe). I hate shaving and do it once every week or two though. I'm blessed to have very slow growing face hair. My blades last a really long time because they're almost never used.
- ddingus 4y agoBest time to shave! I rarely use anything. And to be frank, when I do it is a small drop of hair conditioner.
- muro 4y agoDoesn't work at all with an electric razor. If I forget to shave and take a shower, I can forget to shave that morning.
