My dad never taught me how to shave, and for the longest time I just used these disposable Gillette style blades, and got terrible results. Missed spots, cuts and skin infections.
At some point I decided to do some research and settled on double edge disposable blades.
I've never been happier, and feel much better about my skin too. These are the products I use:
* A wooden synthetic shaving brush (I felt bad about the beavers)
* Taylor of Old Bond St shaving cream. It lasts forever.
* A ceramic lathering bowl
* Floris after shave. Also lasts forever
* Jagen David B40 (make sure to get a butterfly version, they're much more convenient)
* Derby blades (I bought a bulk of 500 blades for like £30 quid, and I'm only halfway through using them after many years).
Now I probably spend less than £40 per year replacing shaving cream and after shave, having had to spend that amount monthly on disposable blades, and that terrible canned cream, and I hardly ever get any cuts anymore. And my shave is much closer.
Besides these products look great in the bathroom.
