Greetings everyone,
I am back to wet shaving after a very long hiatus....probably 6+ years. I don't remember why I stopped but I recently started over and purchased all new items as I cannot find my old wet shaving kit.
I found a very nice (like new) Gillette Super Speed on eBay, and I purchased that along with Proraso shave cream and aftershave, and Voskhod blades. I finally had my first shave this morning, and everything went well except for one very small nick on my neck which is pretty sensitive.
I do not have very thick hair, and it's not very coarse either but one thing I did notice was it felt like there was some blade resistance while shaving. Looking for any advice on that...technique? Blades? The Super Speed itself?
I also bought the Proraso after shave balm for sensitive skin, and I am really not too crazy about the smell of it. What is everyone's favorite after shave? I know scent is a matter of personal preference but would still like to hear what others use.
Overall I am really liking the wet shave experience once again.
