I've used it a few times, but I don't see a difference when I have used it, against when I have used only water and blade.

Well the thing with shaving cream is that you cannot see where you are shaving and what. So that is why people often nik and cut themselves. Its better to use some gel that stays clear after you apply it to your legs. I have found that conditioner or the Bikini Zone anti bumps shave gel works well.

Generally shaving creams/gels add a moisturizer to your skin although you wash it off. Also, shave creams soften the hair, making it easier and less painful to shave. Just using water and a razor will work, but can dry out your skin and cause you to break out.

using simple blade & water gives fine look.
But doesn't penetrate your tissues.
And after longer use your skin will become dark and ruff.
Better to use good gel it soften the hair and skin cells and injectulate freshness.
However if wan avoid,must use skin moistoriser after shaving with only blade & water.

For ***** sake Jim, use a good shaving cream or gel. NOT WATER
Preferrably one with no animal testing such as "King of Shaves."

It keeps the multi-nationals financially buoyant.
Warm face, warm water, a cake of soap and a sharp razer ..... works pretty well without shaving gel.

It works better than whipped cream or jelly, and doesn't have nearly as many calories. They all reduce the skin irritation of shaving.

It's to reduce the irritation of the blade across the skin! If I don't use it, I get razor burn- not very comfortable! You're pretty lucky!

The purpose is to pay a company so they can profit from you, as apposed to you knowing how to shave.
So.
1. Wash your face with water.
2. Use soap and rinse that face up.
3. Wash it off.
4. Use soap and do it again.
5. Shave
See it cost me nothing and i have been shaving for 30 years.
