Karving this pumpkin soap was a real treet. Happy Halloween 🎃

Razor: Mühle R89.

Blade: 🦈 Super Stanless (4).

Brush: Zenith Chubby 🐗.

Pre Shave: Proraso Red.

Soap: Proraso Green.

Aftershave: Proraso Green.

Balm: Proraso White.

I've got a cold so the menthol, cooling, effect of the Prorasso Green soap was much appreciated.

No cuts or irritation with the R89 and 🦈 combo. Hope you enjoy your weekday shaves.

I’ve been wanting to try out a more aggressive razor and decided to test the waters by getting a Fatip Grande.

My first and only other razor is the closed comb variant (gentile). I can get an excellent shave with the closed comb, but it requires 3 passes and some light buffing.

My hope here is that I can get the same close shave but with added efficiency. Some people get less irritation from aggressive razors because of less passes. I want to see if I’m that kind of guy.

As for the blades, this is my second sampling. The best I’ve tried so far is Personna Platinum, so I ordered some more, along with blades that I expect to be sharper, or at least in a similar ball park. I’ve got my money on Gillette Silver Blue. Call it a hunch.

Totally meant to place some Gillette Nacets on my order, but done goofed and forgot.

So long Tabactober, it’s been nice. Paired with Barrister and Mann Le Grande Chypre splash which worked well to my nose.

First ride in a long while with the Lupo .95, which was awesome and needs back in the rotation, and a Gillette 7 o’clock, which I didn’t love in the other razors I’d used them in. Great in the Lupo though, what the h. Lathered up by the Chisel & Hound W/Pure Bliss knot.

Happy Halloween and happy shaves, will try to get a spooky soap for next year.

As the title says, would be cool if someone could summarize the benefits and which one to use for different beard types :)

Hey all,

Just got into the world of wet shaving a few weeks ago. Like many here, I started with the Van der Hagen and quickly realized the vast difference in shave quality of a DE in comparison to a cartridge. Anyways, I finally saved up some money for a decent razor and purchased a 1962 Gillette adjustable off ebay. it even had the original plastic casing. I got a notification that it was delivered to my apartment only to find it nowhere to be found later when i got home. It was not in front of my door or in/near my mailbox. Unfortunately I believe my package was stolen and i’m extremely bummed that my first quality DE purchase is gone:( Any advice or words of encouragement would be appreciated. Thanks everyone!!!

Hey all, I've been using a cheap Biking Revolution DE razor for about 10 months now. It works for me but I am using it to shave big areas like my legs etc, so it's really taking a long time.

Due to this, I've been looking into other DE options that might help speed up the job & have other desirable features like a long handle for better control on the body.

Of course I have learned about every single DE option out there, but I've now honed in on making a choice for either the Henson AL13 or the Leaf Shave Razor.

I can't find a good thread or review anywhere from a women that has tried both or even just one of these options to give an unbiased & unsponsored review.

Any info on your reccomendations for women shavers would be very helpful!

Thank you!

Hello everyone, I’m travelling to Turkey soon, and I would like to pick up some local wet shaving products. I will be accomodated in Ankara, near the Kocatepe Mosque. Can you please suggest any wet shaving stores which are worth a visit? I want to pick up local colognes, maybe soaps-creams, blades etc. Thank you

My latest combo. Must say I had a great shave with this Tunisian cream!

Also my best razor is the Gillete C King, and for blades I use Russian Astra.

So I think I have started to narrow it down. A VERY helpful person here told me many great things, including the starter kits. It was maggard vs sterling. I think I am going with maggard, the starter kit. I question my options though, the handle amd head specifically. Heres my thing, I want very smooth baby skin on a daily basis. I dont need to hack a bunch of hair off, I want to probably shave every single day if I am being honest. Im not here to lore dump on you but I will keep it at this: I have a certain dysphoria when it comes to facial hair/stubble and I want to keep it GONE. Tease me if you want but its my reality. That being said, looking at the maggard starter kit, what head do you think would be better for this? I know finding the right blade is a huge part of this but with sample kits I will narrow that down over a lot of time and blood. I kinda figure handle will be the MR1 because I have at least learned that I definitely prefer a shorter handle. I have been trying with a new King C Gillete but its too long and heavy. Or even aside from the maggard razor, what do you guys find works best for you as far as a bbs chasing daily shave is concerned? I have some Nivea stuff but not a brush so a different razor and a brush is really all I need but if the maggard starter razor is good, ill still go for the kit. Its not a bad price

Razor: Parker Semi Slant Blade: GWS(x1) Brush: Yaqi Naicha Soap & A/S: Shavologist Tobacco Land Set Aftershave care: Nivea Sensitive Balm

Shave 🪒 Coming back home after a long work trip, and using all my favourites. What a fantastic experience shaving in the comfort of your own home with all the gears!

Using the Naicha brush for the first time, which is a very generous gift by a friend who will not be named 😉 This brush is just so perfect! So perfect that I am afraid of using it more - because it has the best combination of splay, tip softness and stiffness. So much so that it can potentially dethrone my favourite boars 😅 For reference, the stiffness is between the ever famous tuxedo knot and the g5c knots offered by Yaqi in other brushes.

Using the Razor and Blade combination of Parker Semi Slant and GWS for the first time, and I am amazed with the efficiency. The shave was not as loud as when I paired this razor with Statum blade. But GWS is a relatively silent worker, possibly because it's cutting more easily? Because I had a 48 hour+ growth today, and after first pass, it was close to DFS. And second pass was DFS++. ATG is just so effortless and BBS shave was achieved with no sting from the Aftershave.

Happy Diwali Folks!

I have extremely sensitive skin, I recently posted about a good pre shave to use however soon found out it’s likely my soap. After some digging it appears the ToBS has 3 main ingredients that can leave to irritation, so based on that what are good options to try? Thankyou guys!!

What are the top 3 best performing shave soaps /scent and top 3 aftershave.

Fatip open comb slant razor

Bolzano Blades

Proraso pre shave creme

Proraso White Soap

Manna Di Sicilia After Shave

I recently got a 3-pack of Arko’s shaving stick for like $8 to use in my toiletries for trips, and gave it a first try today.

I give it 4/5 stars because…

1. It’s very cheap and price-worthy
2. Very easy to apply and lather
3. Very slick shave that really kept my skin feeling soft hours following my shave
4. The only downside is the scent, it doesn’t have any added aromas so it smells kinda funky, but it’s not at all noticeable and easy to tolerate

I overall totally recommend this product, at least to try, but it can also save a lot of money for those on a budget while still offering a satisfying shave.

Does anyone here combat psoriasis on the face? While I do not have extreme plaque build up or open sores, my flare ups are itchy and flakey red patches. I have been using the Gillette Skinguard with different assortments of soaps/creams, however I just purchased a Henson AL-13 +++ (my beard could be considered coarse with some compounding hairs) and Proraso white (tubed cream).

Just getting a feeler on what products psoriasis sufferers are utilizing.

My grandfather while out of town found this set in a store for only 15 bucks. Anyone know what type the razor and brush are?
