I started wet shaving about 4 years ago on my first deployment to Iraq. I found Mach 3 blades hard to come by, so I switched to a straight razor, brush, and mug, and I loved the results. Just curious to see if any other CBidders are wetshaving and what their setup is.

Do a search for safety razor.

Me.......Mercur Futur, Derby Blades, Tweezerman Badger Hair Brush, homemade shave soap (much cheaper......and possibly better).

Andy, I love them Derby Blades as well. I use a Gillette Fatboy for DE most of the time, and a Dovo 5/8 Tortoise shell for Straight razor.

My setup for today was:

Dovo Tortoise Shell 5/8

C&E Nomad soap

AoS Pre-shave oil

B&B Essential Brush

Dickinson's WitchHazel

C&E Aftershave lotion

^Hey man..........I think if you use more than one soap/lotion product then you could be gay.

Just sayin.......might want to ditch a few of those things.

LOL, nah, it gives me a great shave and I'll never fail a uniform inspection. I keep a tupperware with all of my shaving soaps in the bathroom cabinet.

^ Neither can many Washingtonians. Listen to Marion Barry sometime.

Wave, you may want to consider a beard. It takes me 2 minutes to dry shave after a shower with no nics, bumps, or burns. Throw a little hand moisturizer on for good measure & I'm done.

Used a badger brush and tobac soap fo awhile but found I like the shave better with noxema creme

O....M....G....the metrosexual thread that just will not die.

Didn't the military ban metrosexuals? Doesn't this at least violate the "Don't Tell, Don't Gel" rule? I bet he gets sand sticking to his hair gel, too. And in his Italian loafers.

Man...give me an electric so I don't carve up my neck, and I'll be fine. And kissably smooth, I'm sure [rolls eyes].

BTW, straight razor? I'd guess that after a firearm in the house, that's the next most likely thing to be used against a homeowner. I mean, doesn't anyone watch movies any more? Sheesh!
