What's new

Your top 5 shaving products.

Top of the heap for me, never cease to amaze me:

1. Gillette Swedes
2. P.160 soft soap
3. Speick cream
4. Mama Bear Bergamot soap
5. Nivea Sensitive AS Balm
 
I will try....


T&H Creams ( if you need one...Grafton )
Castle Forbes Shaving Cream ( they are all freaking great )
TGQ Leatherneck SS
Wesley & Scott ASB ( choose ur favorite flavor )
Ogallala bay Rum AS Splash


( note..... there is one that should be on the list but isn't in production yet. MBs shaving cream. I wont give details but it is like dunking a dry, arid face into a pool of skin softening goodness. )
 
Ok, I haven't tried a huge number of shave products compared to some guys, but here are my five:

1. Edwin Jagger Super badger brush, only my second brush. Despite EJ having a dodgy reputation this brush has not let me down yet after a couple of years of pounding it into soaps.

2. Merkur HD. I have tried an old gillette but never quite 'got' it, it always seemed a bit unwieldy to me compared to the HD. The Merkur was my first DE razor and still my favourite today.

3. Proraso after shave balm. It's Proraso, it gets the job done.

4. DR Harris shave soap. Arlington and Lavender from Harris take turns being my favourite shave soap.

5. Trumpers coconut shave cream. The only one of my five I have run out of, I always found this gave a great shave and left my skin feeling moisturized.

This list may change soon when I next go to London and get some Tabac soap (and some more of number 5). If Tabac is as good as everyone says, these five had better watch out...

I look forward to reading everyone's lists.
 
Great topic idea!

  • Merkur Classic razor
  • Feather blades
  • Mitchell's Wool Fat soap
  • T. N. Dickenson's witch hazel as an aftershave
  • Savile Row 3226 silvertip brush
