I think one of the benefits is when applying the stick directly to the face, I go against the grain and it lifts the stubble up and then when I face lather I try to go against the grain in the more difficult to shave spots. Just a thought.<br /><br />I quite using Williams because it left a drying, irritating film after a shave that was hard to get rid of so I have no idea if it would work if rubbed directly on the face. Might be worth me blowing a buck and a half some day just to try it.TGatzaJrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07190338145847062418noreply@blogger.com
