I picked up some of this stuff at Wal-Mart for about 5 dollars for a HUGE bottle, mine was "Extra 30%" version, its a big ass bottle with a pump on the top. I've been using it for a while before i go to bed for 2 reasons: It smells like cedar, and its cheap so why not use it everyday.

I noticed that after applying it it made my whiskers really soft, so today i decided to put some on before i started my pre-shave routine. I applied it about 20-30 minutes before the shave, and by the time i started doing my routine my whiskers were like peach fuzz, by the time i started shaving it felt like i was in one of those razor commercials where the guy effortlessly draws the razor across his face and looks BBS afterwards.

I highly recommend you go out and buy this CHEAP product and try it once, its so cheap you can give it away or even chuck it if you dont like it.

weblink to picture for reference, you can get it at walmart or target for cheaper. Example picture (http://out.com/topfive/product.asp?cat=Body%20Lotion&pid=13)

I would rather spare my brush from that lotion.

What kind of pre-shave routine do you have? Do you just slather on your lather to a dry face? I dont know about you but my shave prep consists of washing my face and getting very very wet in the shower. Which would of course, wash the lotion off by the time i shave.

The best beard prep I know is water some oils can also be beneficial for other reasons.

Al raz.
