What are you using exactly? Give us the hook up :)

OK, but you're gonna regret starting this conversation with me...


I have a collection of razors, but here are the ones in my usual rotation to use:

SHAVING CREAM MOOD INSTEAD OF SOAP?

$5 at Bath and Body Works...feels awesome. I use it for Travel. Same as Proraso vintage shave cream:

Finally, my go-to After Shave, wife loves it too. About $6 at any pharmacy. They make a Bay Rum that I like a lot too. It's a traditional barber shop favorite:

Damn, Buster. That stuff looks great. Maybe it's time for me to kick the Gillette Fusion to the curb and step my game up!

You won't regret it.

Yeah, I even built a nice mahogany razor stand with a marble base for my shave bowl and added some gold leaf accents. :D


When I broke my arm, I had to shift "obsessions" as my wife calls them from weightlifting to something else. Wetshaving somehow happened.

It took me a few weeks to get the technique down where I could get a perfect shave without cuts, but it's amazing how superior old razors are to this new multi-blade garbage where they charge you a few bucks per cartridge. The best razors were made in the 50s and 60s. That black-handled adjustable one I posted is a 1970.

Bought a few razors off eBay, a few from Antique shops...they polish up amazingly with a Dremel and some MAAS Metal Polish. They look cool on my counter too.

Bonus - Talking the wife into letting me shave her legs. ;)

Try a Walgreen's. They carry that, some carry the Bay Rum. CVS carries it too if you have one of them.

Avoid that crap called Lilac Vegatal. It smells like cat urine and I'm not even joking. I had a sample of it.

drugstore.com Online Pharmacy - Prescription Drugs, Health and Beauty, plus more (http://www.drugstore.com) carries it if you're desperate or is worse comes to worst, you could Paypal me and I'll pick up a bottle and ship it to you. I just got back from the post office to mail a shaving brush to Texas. :D

Famous place.

Someday if I get brave, I'll try to graduate to straight razors.
