Shave of the Day
Gentlemen,
This seems to be a popular thread on many of the wet-shaving forums, and I thought it would be nice to do this here as well. Here's how it works: just reply to this thread posting the hardware(razor, blade, and brush) and software (Soap/cream, aftershave) that you used for that day's shave. This would be a good way for those new to the idea of "Shaving like your Grandpa" to see what products are out there and a good encouragement for the rest of us!
I'll begin!
Today's shave 5/27/2010
Merkur Slant DE
Gillette 7 O'clock Super Stainless (Green label)
Van Der Hagen Boar brush
Proraso shave cream
Witch Hazel
Proraso aftershave balm
There you are fellows! Let's see those shaves!
Cheers!
Aaron

Nice. I'm saving up for the day when I can truly shave like a man. Right now money's tight so I can not go out and splurge on myself right now. Basic needs and kids come first but when I do here is what I've got lined up.
Merkur 34C
Simpson Commodore X2
Taylor of Old Bond Street Soap and Aftershave - Sandalwood
Col. Conk Apothecary Shaving mug
It's all in my wish list on West Coast Shaving

Meh. Proglide is good if you are going to use a cartridge razor. They have definitely made improvements on it since the last Fusion. But I definitely get better shaves with my safety razors. And much smoother shaves too. The 34c is quite nice, gets really really close, but also shows my bad technique, esp around the bottom of my neck and adams apple. I like it though! Normally I shave with a Fatboy or Superspeed.

Thanks, I always wonder if anything is changing in the world of multi blade, strip of goo, disposable blades. Guess not.

Afraid not. The lube strip was actually kinda of gross. It would leave strings hanging from the razor to my face when I would pull it away to change positions. Blech.
