Gentleman,
I am new to the forum and wanted to introduce myself.
I am 35, and new to "correct" shaving. I had no role model, so for years, I fumbled my way through. I was a Clarins user and discovered the correct way at Christmas time.
My routine:
Shower; DR Harris Almond Oil Soap, Clarins face wash, Trevor Sorbie shampoo.
Pre-Shave: Hot flannel for 1 minute, apply castle forbes pre-shave.
Lather with CF Lavender. I use simpsons Duke 2 (Best) Edwin Jagger DE razor. Each later takes two minutes.
My 1st pass is WTG, 2nd pass is ATG.
Post Shave: Trumpers Alum block after rinsing with cold water. Then apply CF Lavender balm followed by a layer of Geo G Trumper moisture lotion.
Superb products.
Regards,
Greyfox

Welcome to the B! Have you tried WTG XTG shaves? It is all about reducing the beard growth with minimal irritation.
Anyway, you have a great start! Read, Learn, Shave, Share!

Indeed, welcome to B&B! Yes, don't forget that XTG pass, it can reduce stubble even more for the final ATG pass, makes it less irritating, for me anyway.

This soap is superb. One bar lasts a month (showering twice daily) and works out better value for money than the cheapest shower gels.
Thank you for the warm welcome everyone
