And the winner is ... Williams Lectric Shave with Electric Glide Formula being a very close second

This is a review of six products and this same review is posted on each product's Amazon site. The products tried were (in order of preference): Williams Lectric Shave, Electric Glide Formula (California North), Afta Pre-electric by Mennen (original), Skin Bracer, Eltron Prep and Kinexium Shave Oil by King-Of-Shaves.

I have used an electric shaver for more than 30 years and, for the first time in over 20 years, am trying these pre-electric lotions again after having shaved without these the last 20 years. In general, these all provide a noticeably smoother and less irritating shaving experience. They don't speed up the process, but do allow for a close shave while minimizing the shaver `burn' sensation that follows shaving. The trick is to find the one that you prefer based upon application, performance and odor.

Bottom line: Despite the superior...Read more

My skin is very sensitive and yet I have a very tough beard. The worst combination possible. So for years I cut, irritated my skin with regular shaving razors. Then I thought I would switch to an electric razor. Had a lower end Norelco that worked "okay" but not as close as a blade and my neck still got chewed up. So then I got a Braun 5 Series here on Amazon. It still irritated my neck, and it did not cut near as close as my old Norelco and not even remotelt close to a razor. I then thought, I have to do something, so I got a new Norelco shaver and began using Williams Lectric shave as a preshave prep. I used it with my old Norelco, my Braun and my new Norelco...

I've been using an electric shaver for years. During that time, I have used several pre-electric lotions. This product is the best that I have ever used. I will not use any other as long as I can buy this one. Sometimes it is hard to find. I don't know why. I ordered several bottles online because they were out of it for several weeks where I usually buy it. I was desperate. I can't even find it out in the western states. I am puzzled because in my opinion it is superior to anything else on the market. Mennen ought to market it better so they can get it into a lot more stores and states. A new ad campaign, new packaging, etc., anything to have it more accessible to the public. They can make a lot more money with this fine product.
