What do you use to shave?

I usually stick with a safety razor and a good shaving brush, gives a cleaner, more controlled shave. I also picked up a few techniques and product ideas from Chaps & Co, where they really focus on proper prep and aftercare. Using a warm towel, quality shaving cream, and finishing with balm makes a huge difference. Keeps the skin smooth without irritation.

I travel a bunch and want to take my kit with me. There are a lot of pouches and cases to be had, but Ive more recently found the 'Muhle Blade Guard' (about $5 bucks) to be the perfect yet minimal way to carry my Merkur safety razor without damage or danger. I actually use it at home as well so the little ones donlt accidentally play with it.

I used to use DE, SE and straights. Nice soaps, mix of badger and boar brushes. Honestly, cannot remember what I used last.

Excellent!!
It's still just sad, that the blue Wilkinson shave soap stick is out of production. Such an excellent shaving soap, same good as the Speick shave soap stick.

A local shaving cream, my grandfather used it, dad used it and I will forever use it, it's called D'Amaris.
Pretty common here in Easter Europe.

Today an Italian shaving cream called Proraso, which was very common and very cheap till a decade ago.
And my usual Merkur 37 bar slant coupled with green Astra blades.

Fine.
When you compare it to the Sensor Excel, the gentleness of the King C. Gillette DE is unbelievable! :)
