      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 .

              Cheers,

              Scott

              Mirthing my way through life.

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

                    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.

                        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.  ???

                              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.

                                        Having read through the whole thread, I'd like to re-ask/itterate my questions about razor blades and oils/creams used when shaving. Not much details over the past 4 pages, a lot of Dr B, and a cut-throat @ the bottom of the last page, but that's all she wrote, so far….

                                        So what razor do you use, and what oils/creams?

                                        Thanks.

                                          I used to have major issues shaving.  I now use a Gillette Fusion Proglide with any half decent cream and the results are amazing - quick, confortable and close….
