I have recently gotten into soap, brush and double edge shaving due to the price of cartridges that will actually shave through my wire like pelt.
I picked up the Van der Haagen set from the local grocery store and have been doing OK...except for the inordinate amount of leaks I create each time I shave.
I have tried the Van der Haagen blades and Persona blades which are the only ones available locally as far as I can tell.
I did find some different soaps at the hippy store...or natural groceries place. They suck. Won't hold a lather and are about as slick as hot asphalt, but not as comfortable.
So, I figure in a couple weeks, I'll hit the world wide internet and order some supplies.
Recommendations for a middle aged curmudgeon with little experience using a double edge?
