Just thought i would put down a few ideas/thoughts about some the shaving practices i have found to be useful.
1) Whether you use a DE or straight, a very sharp edge is advantagous (obviously!). Change the blade after one or two shaves in your DE. Keeping a straight sharp is part of the fun.
2) When i have a tube or tub of cream coming to the end, i save it and blend several together in one tub to produce a very unique cream. Try blending very masculine or floral scents together, comes out real good!!
3) One planet aftershave balm, very cheap and very effective, recommended.
4) Sharp blade, ie Feather, in a mild DE razor.
5) Shaving oil, very, very effective. There are a few on the market, you need to try them to see what works for you. If you dont want to shave with them, they make for a very effective aftershave balm.
6) Talcum powder is an excellent product to use on your face after applying aftershave. Kills the sting, soothes the skin and hides any redness. A little on a dry flannel and then gently patted on your skin, works surprisingly well!
Hope this helps.
Have fun.
