This is a three parter asking for advice as I review most aspects of my shaving.
For years I have used a Gillette Tech (fat handled) and Lord Platinum blades. When travelling and buying cheap disposable twin blade razors, I have found them surprisingly effective and comfortable, especially giving less chin redness. I have tried, in my purist way, to ignore this for years but it’s time to fess up and recognise that ‘proper’ shaving might not suit everyone. So I am trying to find my future razor. I bought a Mach 3 turbo (am I banned for writing that?) but it is like a car with crazy amounts of suspension, and anyway two blades are enough. Next was a Gillette Vector (twin blade, with a lubrastrip which I can do without) which works OK but I would like something with a little more weight. Any suggestions?
For shaving cream, I have incredibly sensitive skin and use Taylors of Old Bond Street Organic. It is very good but pretty expensive. Any suggestions for pure and unperfurmed affordable alternatives?
Finally, I used to get ingrowing hairs and found Power Shave (originally Priva Shave for Men) worked well, but the new formulation is gloop you can barely get out of the bottle. I may have outgrown the ingrowers, so can someone please suggest a good and totally unperfurmed balm? Many thanks.
