Using my Dad’s old Gillette. You can find one on ebay for just a few bucks, or go to Art Of Shaving and spend hundreds on a new designer version. Order Feather blades from Amazon, along with Proraso pre-shave cream. Get a good lather soap and brush and begin to enjoy the ritual of shaving. Check out http://www.badgerandblade.com/ for everything you ever wanted to know about shaving.
Feather blades for a newbie?!? Are you trying to kill him!
Spot on with the Proraso though. Makes shaving fun!
