Well what do YOU shave with?

I always wanted to try a straight razor, seems like it may be tougher to use.
I use a Mach 3. Still best main stream razor made today in my opinion. Schick's dull to easy so I never liked them. And I don't care for the razors with like 13 blades on them.
I do got a huge box filled with Mach 3 blades. A family friend works for the company.

When I used to shave I used a Gillete Sensor...I know right :grin:. Tried a Mach 5 once (got a sample in the mail) and hated it. Plus the blades are at least twice as much as the Sensor's. I haven't really shaved in a while, got fed up with buying blades. I think I have some disposables in a drawer in the bathroom still :dunno:. I like being a mountain man :grin:. Nice razors though :thumbsup:.

I am a big fan of straights. I try not to collect them though as have enough things to keep up on. If you are ever interested in getting rid of razors for smokes let me know.

When I have the time I'll use a Mach 3 along with Nivea Sensitive Shaving Cream, but the majority of my shaves these days are with my Braun electric.
I'm interested in the whole brush/cream/safety razor thing but waaaay too lazy to bother researching it. Plus as others have said I 'collect' too much crap already so best maybe if I leave shaving stuff alone.

That's my all time favorite soap. She (The lady's name is Sue) makes any scent you can imagine. All the soaps are fantastic.
As for cream, a good, cheap cream is from The Body Shop (in pretty much any mall) called The Body Shop For Men: Maca Root Shave Cream. Another good, cheap one that you can get from amazon is Taylor of Old Bond Street. Their Avocado is quite good.
There are tons and tons more, but that's a good place to start

I go back and forth between my grandfather's old Gilette Fatboy and a new Edwin Jaeger 98 DE. I have two simpsons badger brushes that I rotate between creams and soaps. I have a lot of stuff I will prob never use because I went a little crazy when I first started shaving with the safety razor. Always up for trading too.

My pleasure Centex. Look through the MamaBear stuff, the lather is fantastic, and the scents are outta' this world. She even has stuff for the ladies (I turned my girlfriend onto the pearberry, Peach, and Chanel scents - She loves them and uses a brush/cream for her legs when she has the time... Now to get her to try a straight razor.... Nah)
Good info the Dr. Z I obtained a strop and ordered a straight razor. I am going to try my hand. I already use a brush and soap

Cool! If I may ask, where did you get the Razor/Strop from?
Razor from SRD and the strop is a Fromm that a friend had and never used. Probably need to get a better strop.
