I added one step that made an absolutely huge difference - pre-shaving cream. I am now using Proraso pre-shaving cream  Just spread a thin layer on your face before putting on your shaving cream. The extra lubrication really improves the shave. Using a Gilette Sensor, by the way. I do plan to step up to the badger brush, but I'll still be using the Proraso, for sure.

[ QUOTE ] Badger and Blade [/ QUOTE ] Jesus, these people DO take wet shaving seriously. I'm planning on wading through that forum, but can anybody here tell me the difference between shaving soap and cream? Soap appears to be much more economical because it's cheaper and you get more shaves out of a cake than you would a tub of cream, but it also seems like much more work. Are there other advantages I'm missing? [/ QUOTE ] I haven't tried soap yet, so I can't comment about one vs. the other. But, if you haven't tried cream, don't worry about how long it lasts. Each tub lasts a LONG time (at least 6 months). Of course, ask that question on Badger and Blade, and you'll likely get 25 responses that actually answer your question. I'm interested to know too, I've been meaning to try the soap.

I've also found to my disappointment that some of the non-foaming creams (kiels has one, and so does aveda) work better for me than traditional brush creams. But my face is sensitive and my over-riding goal is to avoid irritation. If you have no problems with that you can have alot more fun. Also, enchante online hydrolast products make the best oils by far (and i've tried many).
