No shave cream on final cleanup

Some days I do a two pass shave, some days a three pass shave. When I am doing my final clean up, just getting rid of those last little stubborn patches of stubble I've found I can remove them more easily and closer by just splashing a little water on them and shaving rather than applying more shave cream. Has anyone else experienced this? No biggie just curious. It does work well for me.

 

Years ago I heard of a technique called "Touch and Cut", basically doing exactly what you're talking about - running your wet hand over your face to "touch" for the little stubborn patches of stubble, then "cut" 'em down.

 

90% of my shaves are 2 pass and a touch up. I've found that I can do the touch up without extra lather if I use my 34c. Its smooth and glides easy on my skin. If I try the same thing with any other razor, superspeed, etc, it immediately pulls, tugs, and scrapes....

 

That pretty well describes what I do other than I will often splash a little extra water on the spots I need to touch up.

 

That's what I do, too.

 

What I find is usually I have enough slickness from the soap a little water will do the trick for a quick clean up. So.. Yup. I do it.

 

Me as well. I can hunt down the last little touch ups without even bothering with the water.

 

Me too, but I'll do it sparingly since my skin is pretty sensitive.

 

My skin is sensitive as well, a soap I've just started using is really good for my sensitive skin, Van Der Hagen Deluxe. Great stuff!

 

Went into Target a couple of days ago to buy a puck... all out was really looking forward to giving this soap a shot too.
I usually grab a little lather from my brush and rub onto the rough spots, then hit it with the razor; just for the simple fact that I'm to cheap to waste good lather

 

I try to stay away from shaving without a layer of protection. I try my best not to get any irritation =P

 

Depending upon the soap, there can still be some residue left behind after a rinse that, with just water applied, provides enough glide to shave without adding more lather.
I'll typically finish this way before a final rinse when using a straight razor to get the stubborn spots.

 

I was going to say just before final rinse. Beat me to it.

 

Me too.

I can do it with my Fatip, but the others are just too rough....

 

I do it every shave on my head. My face is a different story but maybe I'll start trying it there as well.
