did the full Kyle prep (a la Timmyboston's suggestion) and while I didn't notice too much of a difference during the shave, I have remained smooth for much longer than when I don't use the prep...very nice

A clean, close shave but sore afterwards. I guess I went too fast. The Baxter's hid the evidence, though.
