What's new

Newb - I've been using VdH, what next?

For soaps, I can suggest anything Italian like Proraso, Cella, or Valobra. Mitchell's Wool Fat isn't a bad choice if you have very dry skin.

For creams, I suggest Proraso/C.O. Bigelow, Kiss My Face, and Musgo Real. C.O. Bigelow is available at Bath and Body Works, and you can get Kiss My Face at HEB, Kroger, and almost any natural food store.
 
I started with Col. Conk's bay rum shave soap and I didn't really care for it. I then moved onto the VDH soap and I enjoy it quite a bit. I also got myself a E.J. sandlewood puck refill and out of the three, it lathered the best for me and was under $10.00. Recently, I got the $25.00 new VDH luxury set but haven't tried the soap yet.

However my favorite soap is a cream and it's called Omega. It was a little more than the EJ Sandlewood puck, but the menthol in it feels extraordinary. It's not a lot, just right cooling sensation and it's slick and allows the razor to glide over the skin. It doesn't have a great scent, though.
