Shaving Thread

I was pretty certain we had a thread on shaving and shaving products and all that jazz but a token search turned up nothing.

So what products do people recommend?

My current shaving system is:

Shave in the shower (finalise things in the mirror after but I do miss bits often enough, just don’t think I’ll ever go back to shaving at a sink).

I use either Total Shaving Solution or King of Shaves oil, though I read recently that they’re bad for the blades.

I never liked Mach 3 so I use Sensor XL blades. Indifferent to them.

I gave that Philishave Nivea electric thing a go but that was a fucking disaster.

Am tempted to try the Wilkinson Sword Quattro Titanium which I think featurs a trimmer along with normal blades which would suit my grooming needs. Anyone used one?

@Copper_pipe did you get that DE razor? I use an Edwin Jagger DE89 myself, Astra blades and Clubman pinaud soap. Get yourself a decent badger brush too if you have to shave regularly, it will improve a wet shave in every way.

You must be positively radiant after each shave.

Id shave every second day with work now and I always had a healthy stubble, a good shave with a fresh finish is a great way to start the day( or night)

I find Wilkinson sword hydro 5 great razors.

[Tassotti]

[TheUlteriorMotive]

Is this about balls or faces?

@Copper_pipe

Id recommend BoldKing.

Get the blades delivered each month for a small fee.

agreed

only issue is the carbon footprint

[anon26343222]

Razor around the delicate areas.

[backinatracksuit]

My razor of choice as well, closer shave than the Gillette

[anon26343222]

Gillette. I’d rather do without shaving than use their product.

Wilkinson sword

A great yoke.

Incidentally I stopped using gel/foam a few years ago. I rob this off Mrs KP and it gives great results, locally produced too.

I got mine the other day, jury is still out. It did have to deal with a weeks worth of growth. Wasn’t overly impressed with today’s shave

[Ambrose_McNulty]

Have you shaved your balls with it yet? Gamechanger.

Unreal stuff

Shaved in the shower today, three day shadow on my face. No shaving gel. Perfect shave with the Boldking
