I'm new to DE razor shaving. I really enjoy whipping up the lather and getting a good shave. My problem is that the green Proraso cream that I have, which is my only cream, feels GREAT on my face, but it's close to useless for shaving with. There is no where near enough lubrication in the foam no matter how much or how little water I use when whipping it up.
Can somebody recommend a cream or soap that can rival or come close to the lubrication performance of the canned Gillette gel for sensitive skin? Ideally it should have the wonderful cooling effect of the Proraso also.
I have been thinking of trying to add some Gillette gel when whipping up the Proraso. Have anybody tried a stunt like that?
What I do now is to lather up with the Proraso to soften the hairs and enjoy the very nice cooling and waking up effect. I then rinse and apply the Gillette gel for the actual shave.
