Gamma+ Boosted Lectric Shave Duke Cannon Big Softy Shaving Cream Cella Aftershave Balm (red tube) I have to say, I've never had a closer electric shave than with the Gamma+. I realize it's mostly for pros / barbers, but using this on the face after 1.5 days of growth, it is just like using a...

I have scoured his site for weeks now. 🤣🤣 The single most comprehensive shaving website there is. His depth of knowledge and the quality of his reviews are off the charts.

Thank you both Shaverman and Phil Harmonica for your responses. And Shaverman especially for the in depth background review. Closeness is important to me and I love the Arc6 for that, followed closely by the 9 Pro Plus with the 96m head. Sounds like the Norelco is still behind the Braun from...

How do you like the Prestige Ultra? If I bought another razor, it would be this one since I'm well covered on foil razors.

Yes, agreed about certain pre-shaves. I haven't tried Blue Stratos...can't seem to get that in the U.S.? I've tried Speick, Afta, Lectric Shave, Tabac and a few others. Lectric Shave is probably the greasiest of the bunch, but I actually really like it because it makes the razor slide...

I often use a pre-shave and a shaving cream, followed by a post shave balm. I realize that the pre-shave and the shaving cream are sort of opposite effect products. But I like the process and feel. Wondering if others here only use either a pre-shave or a shaving cream before shaving? Thoughts?

Greetings Jim, I am new to the forum and you approved me today. My name is Dan, and I'm in California. I'm almost 60 and have been shaving for 45 years or so. Probably 3/4 of that time was with an electric razor, although I've done my fair share of shaving with a blade of one sort or...
