Use the Fat, Luke!
OK... I'm still loving the GD Pre-Shave.... I think it will replace my Baume.be Pre-Shave.... though I will use up the Baume.be, of course. It's very good but the GD is slightly better and is much less expensive.
Now.... the shootout between GD Hydrating Gel and Neutrogena....I regret buying two containers of GD Hydrating Gel. It's not always available hence the decision to order two. I've used it twice now..and used Canada Shaving Soap today to get a more scientific data collection point. Neutrogena is much more expensive. The GD HG doesn't calm my skin down nearly as well, unfortunately. I ended up just putting the Neutrogena over the top after a few hours. GD does recommend adding it to their pre-shave and I think I'll try that. I don't want to waste it or just bin it.
One thing I did notice, the GD pre-shave does tend to dry out the soap a bit so I need to use more water when lathering up my soaps. But it's an excellent product.
So useful! Thanks for A-B testing GD vs. Baum!I did some reading here on B&B last night..... and learned, the Hyaluronic acid serum (which the GD Hydrating Gel is, basically) is supposed to used on a damp face... then you need to add a moisturizer. The Neutrogena is a combination of the hyaluronic acid with moisturizers. GD sells an additional moisturizing product.
I think that's why my face feels good after using both products together. I have some hmmmmmm stand alone hyaluronic acid on the way. I'm going to compare that with the GD hydrating gel.
As always, I'll report my findings here. Of course, it will remain one man's opinion and experience.
Here's one of the sites I read last night... worth the time to read it all the way through:
Hyaluronic Acid Is Magic For My Post Shave Skin | It's A Game Changer
I've been using this stuff since late October, long enough to feel like I can recommend hyaluronic acid without reservation. What is it? How did I come across it? How is it used? What does it do? I was told about it by Frank. Apparently it's a component of many high end skin care products...www.badgerandblade.com
I will continue with hydro boost and GD. No reason to change.
