Hello everyone!
I'm pencil from the Netherlands, and I recently got into shaving with a double edge safety razor after realizing how crazy expensive replacements for my Gillette Mach3 are (especially in the Netherlands, where every skincare product is twice as expensive so we can give a 50% discount of half the brands at any given time).
I bought a King C. Gillette safety razor, which has been working wonderfully over the past couple months. And I bought a whole lot of different small blade 5-packs to try out which brand I like best.
My favourites so far are: Derby Extra, Gillette Silver Blue, Gillette Platinum, and Astra. Bic, Feather, and Wilkinson Sword have worked out less than ideal.
For shaving cream I've been using shaving gel from Gillette, mostly the Gillette Series one. But I'm looking to maybe get into brushes and soaps. For after shave I use Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm.
If you have any tips for brushes that aren't crazy expensive, that'd be great!
