Hi guys—
I’ve been shaving old school off and on for a long time but everyday for about 9 years or so.
Here’s where I’m at with it—just me personally—FWIW.
2 passes in the shower gets me baby smooth. The equipment and supplies that once were the focus of my attention are routine now and I spend more time thinking about my socks than my soap.
Purchasing has slowed to replenishing only. My go-to’s are an old Gillette Fat Boy, Persona Meds or Feathers, Mitchell’s or Cremo, Simpsons Duke , and Dickinson’s Witch Hazel. I use Proraso as a pre-shave a couple times a week.
After Shave is optional, once or twice a week. Typically a good Bay Rum, Floyd’s amber, or Floris.
When I travel I use a cheap plastic 2-blade throw-away razor and hotel face soap, and get the same great results as I do with my home set-up! I don’t shave like I do because it’s “better”, I just like to.
