Been using Feather Hi-Stainless DE blades for a long time.I collect vintage Gillette DE razors,Fatboys and Super Speeds along with a couple UK made Gillette Rocket's.I also use a Parker 45R DE.............As for shave creams and soaps my daily soap is Arko.......best value out there and it provides a helluva shave.I also love Proraso Green......it has eucalyptus that feels great on the skin.My Sunday go to meeting creme is Taylor of Old Bond Street Sandalwood Creme........the soap is ok but the creme is outstanding.I also collect Old Spice shave mugs.......the 60-64 models are my favorites.A couple badger hair brushes and you're in business.

BTW those Arko sticks will press perfectly into a half pint jar.......just warm them about 5 seconds in the microwave and press into the bottom of the jar.

I like to use hair conditioner when shaving my balls. Ron can attest to their smoothness.

I use Edge gel and Mach 3 razors because I can shave without cutting myself all to pieces. I tried the fancy stuff... I don't like it.

The way to do it properly with the older style equipment takes 5 times as long as if I shave my way. Shaving is not enjoyment for me, it's a chore.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago. I was going through a Mach 5 blade every week or so and having to shave every day for work left me with a ton of irritation and ingrown hairs. Not to mention the cost. I have pretty thick facial hair and my face irritates easily, but here is what works for me.

I always either shower or try to soak my face with a hot cloth

Then use Jack Black Beard Lube. It comes in a blue bottle and is like putting teflon on your face. I recommend everyone use this.

The soap I use is Wet Shave Products. They have a ton of scents and one ton has lasted me over a year.

The blade I use is the Gillette Silver Blue. It is a Russian made blade and I found them on amazon for $20 for 100 blades. They are sharp but also forgiving. Each blade lasts 4-5 shaves so that is about 2 years worth of blades.

Finally find an aftershave lotion you like. I am still trying to find one I want to stick with. This part is often overlooked but I suggest rinsing your face with cold water then use your aftershave every time. It helps close your pores and reduce ingrown hairs.

I hope this helps.

then see which one lathers up the best...

(DUDE...YOU KNOW WAY BETTER THAN TO WORD AN O.P....like you just did...come on...)

Don't fall for the "RICK" pawn shop commercial

For straight razors....

Tons of "new shaving club offers" for a whole year on TV
