Grooming and Hygiene

[Captain]

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…

You and me both. Sure nothing will show up. Just playing that 2-3 day waiting game.

Waiting for results like that is always nerve wracking.  Best of luck Lando!

Just a routine thing, but you never know. Anyhow, no need to worry guys as I am the picture of health.  ::)

Just shaved for the first time. Def need to get some better shaving cream but it wasn't as difficult as I imagined it would be. It's actually easier than any blade I've ever used, and obviously much sharper. I think I'm gonna like this alot. Can anyone recommend a good shaving cream, brush, etc. I've got a razor and blades so far.

and I only knicked myself in 3 places the first time

On the modern front i'd go with Clinique's Cream shave applied with a good badger brush and for afters Lab Series Razor Burn Relief Ultra. On the more trad front look for Mitchell's Wool Fat.

Truefitt & Hill shaving cream. You can't go wrong rich creamy lather & tremendous scents. I also love their colognes.

Hello all ,

I'm sure most guys hate shaving , well I switched to a brush , safety razor , bowl and cream or soap-
around 3 years ago . Never regretted it . The last year , I learnt how to use a straight razor ,
takes patience and discipline , but feels brilliant when you get it right .

Unfortunately I broke my left elbow last week , so no straights for a while .

I really enjoy the Trafalgar line  . Canned foam/goo , gillitte, and others has propane
as an ingredient - that cannot be good for your skin.

Cheers,

Trafalgar is very nice I like the sandalwood

In Germany there are drugstore´s called DM and they carry pretty good  products for a reasonable price!
I buy a lot of natural cosmetics there:
Shower Gel - Vanilla/Mandarine

Shampoo - Aloe Vera/Hibiskus

Macadamia bodybutter

• a lot more!!!
  For my fresh tattoos I only use:
  Heile Heile Tattoo Creme (not available at DM)
  
  Everything is suitable for vegans and for most persons who suffer from an allergy.

^is the tattoo creme available in a "DM-Markt" ?…never heard of it tbh.

Oops, my fault, you can get the creme at Wildcat!

As my shaving oil's running low, I thought I'd see what's going on out here and see if there's any great products I'm snoozing on. Local products are pretty much only King of Shaves. Highly dislike their oil, but it's the only oil in the shops.

Soooo what shaving products are you using, and do you like it/them?

Razor: Dollar Shave Club, The Lover's Blade
Oil: King of Shaves

Quite like the razor, oh so very very thankful to be out of the evil lock-in system of Gillette.

I NEVER shave.. Clippers only.  Crazy ass rash, which is bad on face

Plus I get to look like George Michael..  Win win.  ???

[Snowy]

Yeah I get the fecked up rash as well. Shaving only with the grain etc etc. Clippers never get close enough for me. I try only shave once a week, so it needs to be pretty close on Monday to hold up on Friday.
