I used to be do it with a Benjamin barber cut throat shevette and a badger brush, don't remember the name of the soap. Now I just do a full beard between 10-15 cm and cut my mustache with vic scissors [It's not failure if you learn something from it]
I'm still working my way through the bulk box of schick xtreme 3 razors I bought a couple years ago.Soap tends to be whatever is on special, at the moment it is palmolive lather shave.And I use dad's old bristle brush mixing in the hand.On special occasions I'll use dad's old gillette slim adjustable with wilkinson blades.
Hi kkokkolis!Wet shaver here in Brazil.Muhle safety razor with Derby blades.Badger brush.Creams and soaps from local brands Natura and Granado. I like them very much.(Image removed from quote.)Enviado de meu Moto Z2 Play usando o Tapatalk
I used to wet shave, and hope to do so again someday. My setup was a RazoRock DE safety razor with Lord or Personna blades and an Omega brush (boar's hair first, then synthetic). I'd usually use RazoRock soap and aftershave, with an alum block between them.
Cool stuff!I wet shave also.My favorite is Mulberry shaving kit from 90’s. Wooden bowl and very nice soap. The soap is pretty impossible to get these days (last one I got my mittens on was in Italy several years ago, either Lucca or Prato I think) so I’m mostly using Truefitt and Hill creams or regular foams.Badger brushes and safety blades. Normally the wood handled one from the Mulberry set.Do not use lotions or such. Aftershave? Don’t get me started, close to 300 different ones Favorites include original Patou Pour Homme, Tauer’s Lonestar Memories, Moonshine, Blenheim Bouquet, Kouros (bottles up to mid-nineties, Roma + Venezia Uomo and Bowmakers to mention a few.

Great! My son's boss bought a silvertip badger brush from Brasil, are they made locally?
Have you ever tried the Floid ASL?
Floid? I think it is valued by wet shave enthusiasts (don't think myself as wet shave enthusiast per se, I just find shaving much more pleasing experience when done the 'wet way' ) so have never tried any.Quick web search indicates that it is easily available at very good price.You listed some of the classics such as Old Spice, Tabac and Brut as your favorites. I'm also quite fond of early releases of these masterpieces, so what do you think: should I blind buy a bottle?Lähetetty minun SM-T515 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
RazorRock is considered premium here. I tried safety razors and I always cut myself, perhaps I need something premium.
Some time ago my wife gave to me this mug during a memorable trip we made to a traditional city of ceramists on our state.(We have a common interest in arts, and she is also a ceramist) It fit very well for me, giving a secure grip.Ceramic, hand made, burned in a noborigama kiln. I love the shape and color patern.(Image removed from quote.)Enviado de meu Moto Z2 Play usando o Tapatalk
Nice shaving mugs. I've never seen one like that kobalt blue Madplumbarian used. Στάλθηκε από το MAR-LX1A μου χρησιμοποιώντας Tapatalk
The unique thing about that one is that it’s hollow, there’s a hole where you would just leave the brush, what you do is get the hottest burning water possible and fill it, let it warm for a min then do it again! The first time getting it warm then the second nice and hot, now the bowl area is scolding hot and ready for some soap, and since your brush is sitting in a filled compartment of hot water you shake it off and whip it around the soap in the bowl to get a good lather, then put the brush back in the little spot and cover the bowl,Here’s another two I was looking into back in the day, but where the soap goes was so small, they make others but the price can get up there,, JR
