Great setup you've got already, and I use some of those shave creams as well. That's a Gillette Fatboy, right? Mine's a F1 -- Q1 1960.
Well I have a good amount of shave stuff, not nearly as much as some folks as the shave my face forums, but the proraso is by far my Fav.Harry White wrote:Gillett Mach III with Edge shaving gel (I hate the foam). Though after reading these posts, I would like to try some shave soap.
Any other recommendations besides Proraso?
Thanks.
There are a few more options, if you check CVS they may have the Red Polmolive, if not Il be glad to send ya a tube. CVS doesn't sell it anymore so when It went on clearance I bought maybe 20 tubes. This stuff is generally cheap. It smells bad but does a OK job.
There is also Trumpers which is a Old english style which I sometimes enjoy. They usually run around $30 for the shave soap along with the bowl. Now they come in Wood Bowls, as you can see in my pics they used to come in plastic. The wood looks nice. Ypu can also just get the refills which are about $15. Ya don't really need the bowl or container, it just makes it nicer
Col Conk is a good shave soap at a good price. they are all under $6 and I like the Amber.
As for Brushes, There are so many to choose from, some starting very cheap and others going to the thousands of dollars. I like the Brand Omega as they have good quality at a good price. Around $15. I do like Boar brushes alot better than nylon.
