Fusion and shaving soap/brush for me as well.

Every time I tried an electric I had tiny pimples on my neck from the hair being pulled at by the "floating heads.".

I seem to be cursed with a tough beard and tender skin.

Shaving cream from a can gave me a HUGE ingrown hair every other week that would look like I had a jelly bean stuck under my skin until I could dig it out.

Soap and brush gives me no ingrowns, no pimples, no problems. Plus the blade seems to last about 3 times longer.

Anyone remember the old story about keeping yr razor under a pyramid to keep it sharp?

Never worked for...that I can remember. It was back in the 70s...heh heh heh.

I have a problem beard as well, with sensitive skin too. I'll nick myself with a brand new Bic just about every time, so I avoid Bics and generics.

I tried electrics and no go with them either.

Years ago, I tried Aramis Shave-Plexx, a cream in a tube. The first time I tried it, it gave a very comfortable shave. Drying my face, I looked at the towel, and it was speckled with blood. Looked at the ingredients on the tube - benzocaine stood out.

I've used hair conditioner as a shave lubricant, cheap and comfortable but it tends to block pores.

I'm back to soap and brush.
