Have always used liquid pre-shave, tried this as an experiment because it's not as expensive. The shaving is fine, but shaver needs a lot of extra cleaning to remove the powder clogging up the foil, and there is also some powder spillage on surrounding area while shaving. All-in-all, the additional clean-up work is a negative.
I have health problems, blood thinner tablets that makes wet razor shaving a no go hazard. I've used an electric razor before but was not too happy with the result. After using this product I'm more than happy.
Have used this for several months and like it very much. It gives a smoother and closer shave.
