Prorasso is great. Used with a silver tip badger brush is a little slice of heaven.
A great shave soap is THE foundation for a great shave.
I’ve been using this brand for 2-3 years - HIGHLY recommended and comparable to the uber high priced stuff. Nice people who own the business, too.:

I discovered this YouTube channel “Nick Shaves” and his reviews are fairly accurate and he explains his final ratings.

Many thanks! Yeah, some of us have to learn the hard way... ;-)
I don’t doubt it.
I worked at Braun in Saugus back in the mid-90s. They were owned by Gillette. Tough commute when I lived in Chelmsford. We were close to one of the Christmas Tree shops, which was a fun place to spend time on my lunch hour.
I still have a little white flower pot that I’ve used in the kitchen to hold cleaning brushes and sponges.
I use feather for special occasions. They are a little to sharp on my face. I actually mix my blades up, as long as they are platinum my face responds well.
What cream do you use?

I save Proraso foe the weekends. Makes them a bit more special.
I just, as in today, got St James of London Cedarwood and Clarysage in the mail. It smells great! Can’t wait to try it in the morning.
“A great shave soap is THE foundation for a great shave.”
I use Ivory, applied with my hand. Subsequent passes with canned shaving cream. There’s a reason 70% of shavers switched to canned shaving cream in the decade it was introduced.
I found ten pack on Amazon for a really good price so I ordered them. They arrived as five 2-packs, Gillette branded but with Turkic script on the box.
They were garbage. I could get a full month out of a single Gillette Mach 3 cassette. These barely lasted a week. I'm guessing they were probably counterfeit.
I was about to buy Executive Man, but went with St Johns Cedarwood and Clarysage instead.
I’ll try Stirling next.
“I switched to Harry’s a couple years ago. Less than half the price of Gillette and everything is mailed to my house. Blade quality is the exact same.”
OK if you like a blade that lasts less than a week and rusts.
My Gillettes cost LESS than twice Harry’s and last two to three weeks of daily shaving.
No rust. Ever.
Brian is wrong. I have never had an issue with Harry’s razors.

No thanks.
