Admit it. You just wanted to be post 1400!

Here's an Amazon offering of a dipilatory (Sp?) cream for men:

I really wanted to post it in the 'Beauty' section but some of the reviews might be a little........risque

I wish you had. The one that mentioned his ex girlfriends accused him of still wearing underwear is hilarious. Nothing wrong with "manscaping."

Traveling is proof of the wisdom that good prep is the most important part of the shave. Wound up using some C&E Nomad Shave Cream, an Omega Boar Brush and C O Bigelow AS, but was using a disposable Mach 3. Still got an excellent shave,just proves how important the basics are.

At some point I need a razor that doesn't have 5 blades. I have a great mucg with soap from John in Covina that I have yet to put into action. Soon... soon.

 

[Chadster]

This morning was as follows
Vulfix Bager Hair Brush
ClassicShave Lavender shave soap
My old spice shave cup
Cristy double edge razor
splash of Old Spice, and ready to roll. Chadster

 

[J.W.]

Mühle badger brush
Merkur 23C
NoName-blade (but pretty good)
D.R. Harris soap in wooden bowl
Weleda After Shave Balm
hot water rinse before shaving


... I've had the D.R. Harris soap for over a year and I never managed to get a satisfactory soapy cream with it. No matter what I try, I only get unstable foam that vanishes after a couple of seconds. Probably the worst and most expensive shaving soap I ever owned. Glad it was a present and I did't waste money on it. Back to Proraso or Haslinger again for the next shave.

I tried a Feather blade the other day. It seems to be more gentle than the Merkur and Derby blades.

For me it is
-Vulvix badger shaving brush
-Palmolive moisturising deluxe shaving cream
-Merkur "1904" Classic Safety Razor - Open comb
-Personna lab bleu double edge blade
-Vaseline Men Fast Absorbing Body & Face Lotion,
-Old Spice after-shave
Alway give me a perfect shave with a smooth baby-face

I too have had less than stellar results using DR Harris. The Rose cream smells amazing but the foam was less than inspired. Trumper makes a wonderful shaving cream.

@ suits lover

That is correct. A nice shaver. Not the most beautiful shaver I own, but still good looking.

-Have you tried Queen Charlotte Soaps? Made in the USA and one of the few tallow-based creams/soaps left. Awesome scents and lather.

I've never used Queen Charlotte Soaps, but I'd be very interested in your experience. I'm currently using Mike's Natural Soap and I've got some Mystic Water soap that I'm going to try in the next few days.

You can send the soap to me.....
I love it.

D.R. Harris Pink aftershave is a delight though in my (after) shaving experience!

This morning with one of my most beautiful DE razor:

loaded with a Feather DE from Japan
Tabac Original shavingsoap and after-shave.

For me, the Feather is too sharp - I don't need this sharpeness. I got some cuts.

Tomorrow a straight razor - mostly I use a straight razor.
