Would you use this instead of shave oil or apply shave oil after applying this and before your shaving cream ?

iI used shave oil only once and never again. I use preshave Proraso and shave directly if I only want speedy NOT close shave.and dry face without washing it- If I want a close shave I use Pre Raso for a rough shave, then I use a gel shaving cream and after rinse the fsce and when dry, I use Pro Raso preshave as a thin softener.

Answer here...Andre, I have both but have never used the pre-shave as a post shave. The preshave is more of an ointment type product. I think it helps but I don't plan to buy the preshave again because I don't think its worth the price. I DO plan to buy the aftershave again. I think it is worth the price.

A few minutes prior to applying your shave cream/gel apply a liberal amount by hand and work well into your beard. A little does go a long way but I've found that using more is better when it comes to a comfortable shave for me. Apply shave cream directly over this product. Do not remove it.

I do both, as needed. But I use it mostly to rub it on like lotion after I shave.

I like this much better than chemicals. Use with fine cornstarch for shaving and you get a great shave. Switched to this from waxing.

That is an individual issue based on your skin and condition of your beard in relation to it. For myself, a good soap brushed in with a quality brush is all I need. After shave is another story, if preshave works better for you, then use it.

Why not just use an after shave or cologne? I doubt this would work, but I'm not a chemist.

Leave it on. It's meant to be applied after the beard has been dried. I think the effectiveness depends on the thickness and fullness of the beard. It's very subtle for me personally.

I'm sure you'd be able to use "gel" shaving cream, although I would apply it with a brush to stimulate the facial hair. I haven't as I enjoy the mug and brush routine now. The EJ razor is excellent and I'm confident you'd get a great shave either way.

I use the glycerine soap to augment the main shaving lather. Just continue making lather the same way you always have but get your brush nicely loaded with the glycerine soap for a faster and fuller lather.

I have both products, and I personally wouldn't use the pre-shave cream as a post-shave balm. I mix the Proraso aftershave lotion with a Neutrogena Post Shave Balm. The combo moisturizes my skin, but leaves it dry to the touch if that makes sense. I wear dress shirts 6 days a week, and I find that this routine greatly reduces neck irritation.

I have not used the shaving oil with my safety, however, the instructions say that the oil may be used with an electric razor by using fewer drops of oil than with a blade razor

I would not recommend it for after shaving. It can irritate the skin. Of course, you may see how that can work for you. Everyone's skin is different. When I used it, it left my skin pink from irritation. But it goes away.

If the bottle says Pre-Electric, it is the Pre-Shave and not the aftershave. I use both and the pre-electric is the product to use before you shave. It's worked great for me for many years.

I use the Cleaning System after every shave and find that the shaver runs smoother than when I don't, indicating some Lubricating function in the cleaning fluid. I generally get about one month before the fluid in the tank gets nasty enough to dump and wash out the holding tank. The Cleaning Liquid is cheaper in some stores. Check around for better pricing.

I use it after every shave. It not only cleans and charges the razor but the cleaning fluid is also acts as the lubricant for the blades. It gives the blades a longer life and you a better shave. This rwzir with the clean system us the best I've ever owned.

I have used it on its own, but personally I prefer it with a shave cream/gel. (I use "Kiss My Face")
