Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Shaving Foam......for men

Barbasol. My dad used it. I use it. Never changes. And it's cheap.

I’ve been wet shaving for years. A vintage Gillette ‘New’ razor with the open comb and Arko stick soap give a great shave. Arko is made in Turkey and pretty cheap too. Makes a great lather.

The fact is that everybody's beard is different. What works best for me may not be worth a flip for you - and vice versa.

Experiment. None of this is expensive (except for Gillette crap). Fine soft beard like mine? Cremo cream and razor, or Secret Shave oil. Need to shave barbed wire twice a day? You'll need something else. I just don't know what.

Whatever you use, the only secret is to wash your beard with soap and water first. That softens the hairs, cleans the skin of clogging debris, and lubricates.

Cremo works well for the barbed wire too.

Shaving soap and a brush for me. I can't remember the brand, just know it when I see it.

You can shave with sandpaper, I've done it.

ARKO in a mug with a brush.

I stopped shaving. My wife hates my beard. Oh yea !! I love it. I'm no jiske.

Zero issues for decades using Edge Gel Sensitive Skin. I have tried others and am set on Edge.

Rocky suggested cremo to me years ago. Very good advice. Shaves close with no cuts.

Performs like my gel.

Shave Secret Shaving Oil

Bar soap while showering. We use Irish spring original now because it doesn't leave scum on the shower walls. Since boot camp in 1969.

And they don't travel very well.

You beat me to it.
Good stuff for $1.99 a can.

shave in the shower no cream , lotion or foam

I have not shaved my beard since 1977. Only trimmed.

Guess I'll try my bar soap first. If that doesn't work out will try Cremo Original. Then, old fashioned shave soap and a brush. Lastly - Just quit shaving!

Try the Cremo, use lots of water, not a lot of Cremona as per the instructions.


I use that like a base coat, then soap with a brush.
The razor just glides along.

Merkur slant, Voskod or Gillette Blue blades.
Not sure if the blades are still available. When we started sanctions on Russian stuff I stocked up.

Don't use the stuff, hair clippers and do face and head at the same time... about every 4 months (sometimes look like Santa Clause). If I decide to actually shave, its bar soap and double-edged razor. Why would anyone wat to use a foam with all the oil they put in bar soaps today?
