    I would start with a cream because they are easier, such as trumpers or floris. Tabac is a soap that's easy to build a great lather with. Get a badger brush, and there are quite a range in $. How much are you wanting to spend?

      I use electric razor every morning, and if I want extra smooth, I use Gillette…..

        I guess you could say I'm not really that hairy, so I probably only shave about once every 3 days. I don't want to spend a ton. Maybe a couple hundred.

            all of this shaving talk makes me want to try it out again…
            I only do dry shave myself once in a week, since I always get massive skin rash as soon as I wet shave (jaws and throat).
            I don't know if I'm  doing it the wrong way or if I'm using the wrong stuff (pretty much looks like it though!) but after trying it out multiple times I don't think i wanna try it again since it's always back to the same problems...
            I'm having an appointment at the dermatologist on friday since I still have to fight with skin rash/ingrown hair on my jaws for almost 3months now, after I've last wet shaved... 😠

            anyone having this sort of "problems" as well sometimes?

              I think everyone's skin is just different Finn. I break out whenever I use an electric razor, and only with an electric razor. I have no problem with a standard blade and I didn't have any breakouts at all after using the safety razor for the first time ever.

                  I read somewhere that has to do with the bacteria that grows in electric shavers. People have different responses to different shavers. After I read about all the stuff that grows in them and the recommended process to clean them (it's a pain in the ass), I switched to disposable razors

                    Not sure how well they work, but when I did have an electric, I had a cleaning system that I would use after every time so I hope bacteria wasn't the issue.

                      Yeah, I remember those with the built in cleaning system. They came out after all the studies came out about how much gross shit grows in electric razors

                      I think the cleaning process involved soaking just the heads in 80% isopropyl alcohol after every use for 30-60 mins, rinsing with water, and then letting it dry for four hours

                      Never made a lot of sense to me since I have 5 minutes before leaving the house…

                        My both electric razors are water washable…

                        And if I wet shave my throatarea against the grain, I will deff. get some "pimples". So Finn are you shaving against the grain? Just a thought

                          I wet shave with a straight razor every day. The trick to not getting rashes when shaving is to do it every day, or at least often. I highly recommend an open razor - probably the best looking tool youl'll ever own.

                            Can't find a body/ health thread but I woke up at 7am today to go get a plethora of blood work done. This should be interesting…
