Alright gents,
we all know that there are some very nice products for the money (or less money) with nice to superb performances, and there are some other products perform bad/well/awesome but not worth all that talk/arguments/money/etc.
So write what you think
1. Most overrated cream
2. Most overrated soap
3. Most overrated brush
4. Most overrated SE
5. Most overrated DE
5. Most overrated Straight
6. Most overrated hone
7. Most overrated subject about shaving(mathematical lapping of the hones, not soaking razors to prevent micro warping on the edge, etc)
ETC
you dont have to write for all of the criteria. Would be awesome if you've explained why do you think that a product/subject is overrated. The older and more experienced you are, the more precious your comments are. A newbie's comment about cella after using only few creams would be quite misleading. So please write about products you have fairly good experience.
