Good suggestion!
I am now considering the shavette.
Already heard some good things about Proraso and purchased the aftershave from the white line.
The soap is indispensable in my case.
I'll take a look at those brushes.
Thanks !
Welcome to B&B and please teach these 'muricans that Bulgarian cream "Kapo" is pronounced "Karo".It' s french for the diamonds playing card symbol.
Hahaha - nice one ! How do you actually know about it ?
"Kapo with P literally means empty and it's most commonly used when you play bridge belote and you haven't won a single hand this round.
"Karo (written in Bulgarian Каро)"is the classic old school shaving cream. Like he just said "кaро" also means diamonds in the world of playing cards.
Cheers !
Kapo is legendary classic shaving cream globally.

I didn't even know that. Thank you !
I just read about it and some article in Bulgarian says that the quality is no more the same as in the old days.

Same with many classic creams, soaps and fragrances. Reformulations are rarely an improvement.
welcome rado.
Rado,
Please research the blades for the shavette as they play a super important role.

I‘ll probably go for a shavette with those universal size blades which you put on the DE safety razors. The thing is you have to break them in the middle and use only the half of them for the shavette. This means they can be used twice. They are also to find anywhere. So it seems like a good deal. I only hope that they are good fixed to the shavette as I don‘t want to commit Harakiri - at least not yet.
Cheers

Oh, I hate it when a fragrance has been reformulated, which in most cases means watered down.
The shavette I showed you doesn't use DE blades but special shavette blades like a feather.

These blades are thicker and more suited for a shavette.
A shavette using DE blades might not cut as clean as these blades as they are thinner and may bend more.
Happy shaves,

I‘m taking that into consideration.
I‘ll also check the DOVO blades as I‘m currently living in 40 km from Solingen (the town where they are being produced) - I guess they‘ll also have a good shavette.

So damn good to see your mother tongue on a worldwide known product.
Wooo!
Cheers,
Rado
I'm pretty sure they do lol.
The only thing to note is if you are going to use DE blades use only the better blades like Nacet, feathers, BICs, GSBs etc due to the tough nature of your hair.
This site is reliable to me as the results mimic what I have experienced myself.

I got myself this to use w DE blades. $2.50 usd it's a no brainer.
