Figured I would share. Not sure I am unique in anyway… my wife thinks I am crazy and put too much thought into it…
I shave differently everyday. I either use noxema as my preshave barrier from the canned foam (always Gillette or Barbosol) or a clear gel and then either Palmolive shave cream applied witg a brush… I change up the blade choice witg either a hydro 5 or 3 blade…and 2nd pass with a 2 blade schick or bic disposable… other days I use the brush and Palmolive. I will use my single blade with a Gillette blue top or super speed, or travel ball tech, or any one of my other from my small collection… mind you it takes 3 passes (with, sideways, and against) to get a baby smooth shave.
I love changing it up. Usually take my time and brush up on the weekend of Friday’s…
My favorite and GO- To cannot live without items with question is my Noxema (which I could shave witg that alone if need be), my double blade disposable, and gonna go with any one of my cheap (yet traditional) aftershaves (Aqua Velva, skin braced, or clubman…
I turned 50 in 2021… I remember my dad talking about how much he hated shaving…. I didn’t understand it. Honestly I do now… it can be a chore… I also remember my grandfather using a brush, single blade and ALWAYS smelling like classic Old Spice…. Wonderful memories.
I hope to pass memories on to my boys.
Thanks for letting me share… I am interested in reading others routines.
