Hey Fellow shavers!

Since reading all the replies from my last post (which shaving soaps to use) I got a few replies about ''shaving sticks''???

So am gonna ask the questions which would you recommend and how on earth do you use them............technique etc...........????

Happy Shaving guyz.........

All the best Nicolas

Easiest method is to wet the end of the stick, then just rub it over your stubble (I just keep it to my cheeks and chin), then with a wet brush start to work up a lather. You'll get immediate feedback as to it's consistency.

Joel's done a great tutorial here.

Here in the UK, the most easily available are Palmolive, Erasmic and Boot's own brand. I personally prefer the scent of Palmolive to the other two, plus you get the added benefit of Tallow.

Just re-read some of your earlier posts Nicolas...as you've got a beard just apply the soap where you're needing it!

EDIT: Your sig should have given me a clue
