Grooming Dept Mosiutrizing Preshave found to be an effective preshave

I'm delighted Ed McCarthy enjoyed using the preshave!

I enjoy it too, Mo. I use it every day.

+1. Pre shave and Mo’s new bases are incredible.

I use it before second (XTG) pass - its excellent.  

It is funny but when I am reviewing a soap that I want to discuss online I have to stop using this pre-shave to get a proper read on how the soap actually performs. Grooming Dept Pre-Shave really affects how a soap performs in a very positive fashion.

Agreed.  I use my other regular pre-shave (Crown Shaving Co. Supreme Glide Pre-Shave) whenever I use a soap sample so that I get a real feel for the soap or cream.  GD preshave masks the differences between many soaps.
