SOTD 24 March 2015
Have a nice shave and a fantastic to everyone from rainy Italy!

Today my version of shaving on budget.
When I want to go on budget I
usually go for italian soaps.
And that's tell me how much we are lucky here, because we have many Italian products that are cheap and very good.

:001_smile

Today my eternal favorite all green combo. Comfortable and fresh shave like none.

In Italy Proraso and Omega are cheap (but always damn good
:laugh:) and the excellent Universal shavette too!
So this is the baseline for a shaving on a budget. Using an italian (now only the name...) good blade and voilà!
Cheap and Italian. But excellent shave for far less than $30 at today change.



Pre: 1 min Hot rinse,clean with home made soap and Proraso Green Pre Cream
Brush: Omega Proraso
Razor: Universal Shavette h/blade
Blade: Bolzano Superinox (1)
Soap: Proraso Green
AS: Proraso Green Splash and Cream


Music: Pino Daniele - Nero a Meta


EDT: Armani Ice Code






Now still want to go for a step above? :)
Just add one or more of the following cheap shaving aids...
I did it. And we are still well under $50, and except blades I estimate that this will last very long!
