Finally I got a sample from the rep of some Glucam E20 which is a humectant made by Lubrizol. Great. This means I can have a go at a formulation on the Lubrizol site, for a shaving gel.

The basic items are:

water 77%
Ultrez-20 carbomer 1.2%
ALS/ALeS/Glucoside (I'll use just ALS and Glucoside) 8%
CAPB (betaine) 4%
glycerine 4%
aloe vera 1%
Glucam E-20 1.5%

not too complicated really.

Tried it already. Not bad but needs more development. The razor feels more 'vicious' than with the Edge brand I use, but my face felt better after than with the Edge.

I wonder how well this gel would work with a straight razor.
