Like many who frequent B&B I used to have a terrible time shaving. I would go through every product advertised on TV (manual or electric) hoping beyond hope that I would find something that didn’t leave my face looking like it had just gone through a cheese grater or feeling like I put a blow torch to my face (aren’t electrics just grand?). Alas, nothing worked:mad: .
Then, rather fortuitously, I came across this (http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6886845/) article. I decided to give wet shaving a try; seeing as how nothing else seemed to work. After some more research (here mostly) I bought a Merkur HD, a C&E best brush, and some Proraso cream and aftershave. It worked (as you may have guessed from the title of this here thread) fantastically. Not only do I get a close, irritation free shave, I actually enjoy shaving now. Plus the HD is such a sexy tool. Next to it my Fusion looks like a deformed beast straight out of a toxic New Jersey swamp.
It’s funny, I never really heard of wet shaving before. I mean I did see it in movies (you know those gangster flicks with the scenes in a barber shop) but I just thought it was some weird old way of shaving and dismissed it. Well, it probably is a weird old way of shaving, but it is a darn effective one.
Now I just have to avoid the temptation of SCAD, RAD, and BAD. Luckily I’m still young (so loose cash is not something I have an abundance of), trying to save up for law school, and (perhaps more importantly) would rather buy groceries than shaving cream:wink: .
Oh, and thanks to everyone here for their tips.
