Hi,
New wet shaver here. I bought 200gr of Martin de Candre Agrumes just to realized it doesn't work for me: 1st pass is great because I use a pre-shave cream; 2nd pass is noticeably less comfortable; 3rd pass razor bounces on my skin which feel very dry despite my efforts of keeping the lather hydrated.
I thought my technique was faulty but I read different feedbacks on a french forum saying their MDC soap would fail to provide a good glide and leave the skin dry. Don't know what factors comes into play, maybe the scent or the hardness of the water, but some people feel indeed that MDC doesn't work for them and it's likely I'm there.
I also discovered the technique of super lathering and I believe I could save this soap with the right cream. I don't want to use just glycerine but I've no idea what cream to choose.
It's difficult to marry the Agrumes scent. I found Ultimate Comfort" from Truefitt & Hill which has little scent but isn't it too much of a good product to use as a mix?
If you have any idea to help me make this soap usable I'd be very grateful.
Thanks
