I started wet-shaving again about 2-3 months ago and acquired the following items:
Merkur Futur
Feather Blades
Simpsons Commodore X3
Trumpers extract of limes cream (amazing lather but skin did not like it at all)
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Cella (favourite so far)
Proraso Sensitive soap
Alum Block
I currently use coconut oil as a pre-shave and no aftershave, only a good moisturizer. As I'm still in the experimental stage of my shaving life I'd like to hear some suggestions from shaving fanatics from around the world. What products/tools helped you find your actual habits.
As I'm a 22 year old student (Belgium) I can't really justify buying 300$+ brushes and 200$+ razors. I'm looking for quality products that offer good value and will last for some time. My skin loves natural and simple products. My complexion (mild acne and some minor scarring) has really improved since I started wet-shaving again.
Mainly I'm looking for:
A quality boar brush (SOC cherry?)
A luxury silvertip or finest 2-band (M&F, Rooney, Semogue?)
A lighter/milder everyday razor (R89?)
A open comb/slant razor (R41, Merkur 37C?)
Maybe some more quality soaps
Some mild/natural type of aftershave
Other helpful additions to add to my den
I know it's a lot to ask for in one post but there is no hurry in getting these items, I'm mainly looking for some guidance.
I hope your day is treating you well!
