Yesterdays shave I felt a little dragging I hadn’t felt when I was using canned foam, so I thought I would anoint my face with baby oil prior to lathering up. Unfortunately, I applied the oil before doing the hot towel thing. Be that as it may, I didn’t feel as much tugging, but the quality of the shave was about the same.

You wet shavers out there, Is a lotion under the lather a good practice or a Noob thing? I can’t seem to find a definitive answer out there on the interwebs. Because I use aloe after I cold towel, my face is just as smooth as before, but maybe with longer term anointing my skin will stay moisturized. What do you guys think?

Do the same rules apply when legs or other miscellaneous body parts are shaved?
