I kind of committed to Shark blades, although I reckon at $7 per 100 I could change my mind if something better came along. <br /><br />I'll use either Creama shaving cream ("impossibly slick" or a shaving puck my by a local soapmaker and a cheap Classic Shaving brush. <br /><br />I haven't found much better aftershave than Pinaud Clubman products. <br /><br />I guess "cheap" is my middle name.

Consistently sharp, even after the sixth shave with the same side of the blade. shaves *almost* as close as the Fromm #72 SR i normally use. The Fromm is an 'ok' SR, but doesn't hold it's edge like the Boker King Cutter...and, as is the case with either Safety OR SR, *SLOW* is the secret...no nicks in the last twelve shaves [all SR], but then, i'm [nearly] 76, so *SLOW* is my 'normal'...Rhonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425051558096569856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4533651942397782565.post-37791404210946792132018-08-04T15:17:24.968-07:002018-08-04T15:17:24.968-07:00Cartridge shaver my entire adult life until about ...Cartridge shaver my entire adult life until about 2 years ago, when I switched to DE shaving. After a lot of trial and error (more error than I care to admit) I settled on Crystal/Israeli Personna blades; wicked sharp, but more forgiving than Feathers. Stuck with my original Merkur 38c razor until I got stuck out of town without it, and picked up a Parker 66R, which absolutely carved my face up...until I learned to use it. Now it is my go-to razor, and it pairs WONDERFULLY with Barrister & Mann soaps. When I use any non-tallow or non-lanolin soaps, I use the less aggressive Merkur. I have not had the chance to try any of the Phoenix Artisan soaps, but based upon your experience plan to try them when I have drawer space.Aggravated DocSurghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05938329500747739452noreply@blogger.com
