Thread: Pre-shave prep the same on second/third passes?

If you are going for second or third pass, either ATG or XTG, do you repeat the same pre-shave preparation process? Or to you tone it down a little bit? Thanks!

IME I just re-lather and go for it.

Between passes I usually don't do anything but re-apply lather. The exception occurs when there is something about the original batch of lather that I don't like. Maybe it is too wet/dry or whatever. In that case I correct it and go on to the next pass.

Gentlemen:

I apply pre-shave, lather and proceed to shave. Between passes comes a rinse followed by lather. That works for me. If the lather needs to be adjusted somewhere in the process, I do what's necessary and proceed with lathering. This process seems to work for me.

I just relather also.

I'm newbie here, but what I did between pass is to make my face wet again then relather, reason is because I'm shave real slow so in the end of each pass my face is dry.

updated: oops I skip read, I'm pretty much with what Obie does

+1 on the advice offered in previous posts. There's no need to repeat the pre-shave preparation when you repeat passes XTG and/or ATG of the str8 razor.

Just apply water--warm or cold--to your face and/or relather. That should be sufficient.

My first pass WTG is lather only. My XTG and ATG get pre-shave oil. For me, it reduces the irritation to almost nothing.

I keep my lather bowl on a low heat heating pad. I just reapply lather, but warm lather, between shaving passes.

Re-lather with what's in the bowl. I don't do anything else,
but I also don't do any more than two passes.
