hambone Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Done properly, a very sharp straight razor will give the closest shave, well, side from a Borg Warner 5000 machine Lathe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slied013 Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Double edge safety razor with Trufitt & Hill shaving cream and a Parker brush, but most importantly Feather blades. Sharpest one can buy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cats Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Dry with a 5 blade battery powered handle. Tried shaving dry but my skin gets irritated enormously that I have to stop after 1 shave.<br /><br />Carpe Diem<br /><br />Cats<br /><br /><br />Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loupeso Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 2- 3 times a week head, neck, face and back with the orange mach 5 not the blue one also need the matching Gel no foam for a bump/burn free shave . I actually was lucky enough to win a lifetime supply of them but it calculates to only 15 years for me . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
genoint Posted April 4, 2013 Report Share Posted April 4, 2013 I have been using Anthony Logistics and Lab SERIES for years. It def make a difference. I also use a safety razor with Gillette Blue something or other blades and I shave in the shower. Have been doing it like that for 20 years never got an ingrown hair. I switched to foam for a week and i got an ingrown hair so i know its doing something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomic_doug Posted April 6, 2013 Report Share Posted April 6, 2013 I use a 1910 Ever-ready lather catcher. I have a bunch of other old-fashioned single-edge razors (for the historical value) but that's the one I use the most because it's about the closest shave I've ever had. Other than that, it's a traditional wet-shave. (Shaving soap and a nice brush to create a good, thick lather. Multiple passes.) And with the blade...

Deckard1979 Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Reading different suggestions i settled on: -Progress Vulfix 404 Grosvenor Mixed Badger and Boar Bristle Shaving Brush -Edwin Jagger De89bl Chrome Plated Double Edge Safety Razor -Taylors of Old Bond Street Shaving Cream (Sandalwood) -Osma Bloc - Alum Block (Soothes Shaving Irritation) This is a beginner setup. It takes a wee while to get hold of the technique! Thank god i read this thread! Goodbye Mach 3! So far i am really enjoying the "old school" shaves Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

username here Posted May 14, 2014 Report Share Posted May 14, 2014 For a guy who's read this thread and has great interest in getting setup for single blade shaving, what product do you recommend for the razor, and where to buy from? Razor? - type - from Blades? - type - from Badger brush? - type - from Cream? - i assume: http://www.anthony.com/store/product/shave-cream/ If you go modern buy a merkur. Not too expensive and a great tool. For your first I would get a vintage Gillette. Cool pieces and easy to find. Just be sure the blade door is tight and closes evenly. I probably have a spare if you want one. Try a variety of blades. There really is a difference and you are the only judge of what works for you. Try a soap stick from Arko. You will be shocked at the price (crazy cheap) but the product is great. I have badger and goat brushes. I don't see a significant difference.

Icanhaznotenoughwatches Posted May 15, 2014 Report Share Posted May 15, 2014 Wet shaving, just started. Wife got me a Merkur 34C razor, Simpson 56 Best Badger Shaving brush, and a DE Blade Sampler Pack from West Coast Shaving. Highly recommended, my skin has never looked better.

k0hr Posted May 18, 2014 Report Share Posted May 18, 2014 Lately I use Dorco. I spent less than $20 on six blade razor set, 8 razors, and handle, which will last me awhile. Their what "Dollar shave club," uses, but removes the branding of Dorco, and it's rather cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aero_Dave Posted June 11, 2014 Report Share Posted June 11, 2014 Believe it or not, I haven't used shaving cream or soap to shave with in over 30 years. Take shower in the morning, step out, grab razor and just shave! That's it, nothing else! Learn to quick-shave in the Military and never stopped since!
