I use that at home now, and use Shave Secret shaving oil for travel, mostly because it comes in a tiny bottle. With Cremo, I think you could shave in complete comfort with a rusty soup can lid. Squeeze out about an inch of cream and rub it in VERY thinly. A hint of it is plenty. You need even less of Shave Secret; five drops will do ya. Try this with a badger brush: Proraso Shaving Cream, Moisturizing and Nourishing, 5.2 oz https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0084GVSWG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_taa_g-GtCbZ8EBSPM Converted my dad and he does not change, ever.

I only use eight to 10 blades a year, so Gillette isn't going to notice my departure. But there's a whole damn lot more guys like me. What razor do you guys like best? Dorco. They are the actual razor supplier for the Dollar Shave Club.

I questioned that, and he said his dad had sent it to him when he was deployed. When they were in forward positions, and there were few comforts, A good fancy shave was one of few treats they had. Almost all of them used the straight razors, brushes..... Parents who say they have good kids..Usually don't!

After I retired in 2016 there aint nobody going to tell me to shave or cut my hair, I will cut it when I am dam ready. Yelp I look like Grizzly Adams as they say at the local super market, having a blast, I also tell them I am living the dream. NEVER GIVE UP

High_Noon Campfire Outfitter Joined: Aug 2011 Posts: 8,793 TX	For the last 25+ years, when I decided to give Gillette the finger, I have used a Merkur 34HD razor. For blades I use Personna Platinum, Merkur, Pol Silver Super Iridium, and Derby Extra. I don't particularly like the Derby blades. The next blades I try will be the Israeli Red Personnas, but it's hard to justify another blade purchase since I probably have enough to last the rest of my life. My favorite brush is a Simpson 58 Manchurian, which I try to "save" and only use it about once a month. My daily brush is a Simpson #3 Duke in Best. The shaving soap I prefer is the Classic Brand Unscented Shaving Cream, which is actually a 3" soap puck. I dislike anything "enhanced" with scents. I'm growing a beard right now, so I probably won't shave for a while. Last edited by High_Noon; 01/27/19. l told my pap and mam I was going to be a mountain man; acted like they was gut-shot.

Prior to moving to Australia five years ago we did a Costco run and loaded up many things that were either stupid expensive there (like razor blades) or not available (like the spices we use). As such I still have nine four packs. With a full beard I shave my throat maybe twice a week. I am guessing I am good for another 10 years easy. Conduct is the best proof of character.
