I know I’ve skipped a few weeks for no apparent reason other than being a bit busier usual. So this week we move on from one of my favorite shaving creams to the pre-shave that goes with it. Billy Jealousy Hot Towel Pre-Shave Treatment is a men’s pre-shave that must be used only with Billy jealousy Hydroplane Shave Cream, you cannot use it with any other shaving cream because it won’t work effectively.

That being said, it’s not a neccessary item to have but more of an added bonus. If you have a beard or rough, hard to shave skin then a pre shave is more of a neccessity since it’ll soften your hair and face for a closer, smoother, and easier to shave face. However, if you have normal skin a pre shave is not neccessary but can be beneficial. You skin will be smoother and softer, without nicks, cuts or razor burn. It only adds about an extra 30 seconds to your routine. You put it on and wait 30 seconds for it to work and then put the shaving cream over it (do not rinse off). That’s it.

My recommendation is that you should try it and decide for yourself if a pre shave is something you want to add to your skin care regiment. I definetely recommend a pre shave if you have a beard since that is what they are originally meant for. A pre shave is meant for guys with less sensitive skin so be careful if you’re prone to breakouts.

I would love to hear other pre shave opinions and suggestions, have a good week.
