lectric shave

Any of you guyss ever use this stuff? does it work? it's supposed to be a pre-shave liquid of some sort that you put on your face before shaving, supposed to help make the hairs stand up or something. Will it work for an electric shaver? Is the fact that it has alcohol a problem?

I tried this once many years ago. Didn't work for me as described.

Worked fine for me. It's essentially cassava flour in a fast-evaporating solution. It lubricates your face and does make shaving smoother and less irritating.

My complaint is that it has a strong fragrance of its own. I never wanted to use it except just before a shower.

I eventually gave up on electric razors, so I don't use it any more. But it's cheap and worth a try.

used to use that many years ago when I was using an electric shaver ... it was effective in reducing razor burn ...

Yes, I have used it as a pre shave for both electric and safety razors. I find it provides a perfect primer for my face to get a very close shave - but I prefer the old formula. It's cheap enough, and it smells pretty good. And it lasts a while too.
