Full disclosure: I’m what they’d call “basic” . Forgive me
I’ve shaved a certain way all my life and prefer little change. I use a Merkur 34C HD safety razor with Merkur blades. I use Proraso Green shave cream that comes in a tube. I make my own basic pre-shave oil (castor oil, olive oil, essential oil drops). That’s about it.
I’ve stuck with Proraso Green because it’s about the only thing that doesn’t cause irritation on my skin (I’ve tried red and white along with some other brands and scents). And because the price point is ok with me. Prior to that I used to use the basic Noxzema shave cream from the tube because that’s what my dad used.
I like a cream tube because I prefer just applying it to my skin and brushing directly vs having to use a bowl.
I’m now having a heck of a time finding any stock of this. It seems possibly discontinued?
So ... I’m wondering if anyone would have suggestions on a good cream tube replacement that is similar in price and will be as easy on sensitive skin. I tend to really avoid alcohol and much fragrance as much as possible.
TIA
