Proraso single blade shaving creamAn interesting ask gentlemen, so let me explain the reason.....
So most of you will know that I love using my vintage Gillette's, (a past member of TSR named Petter suggested â€giving the vintage a bash“ ...... and got me hooked on them vintage toffee hammers, a King Kong sized monkey on my back for sure) however I do use some modern Stainless Steel razors and enjoy the shaving experience of them but...... now for the lurking and unknowing folks them vintage Gillette's be for the most part electroplated with nickel, gold, and in the case of my 1947 Aristocrat....Rhodium a bat shit crazy priced razor for the well to do. That razor honers the memory of my mother that I sadly lost last year to cancer, as that was her birth year. So with these old razors I get a slippery comfortable shave and my usual shaving soap is Cella but I was pondering the use of a different soap just for the use with the SS razors since they are generally not electroplated and lack that slippy vibe that I'm used to...
Thoughts Gentleman.
Kind and grateful

Great choice - it's an excellent soap!Well I've just ordered some Saponificio Varesino Mirto di Sardegna Beta 4.3 Shaving Soap and give that a bash, I can see from looking at the vast array of shaving Soap's I'm in for yet another King Kong sized gorilla going for a lodging on my backgreat
I hope so Boycie83 looking at videos on YouTube the reviews are very encouraging, although left me pondering as to why I didn't take the plunge earlier? I guess I've been stuck in a rut, a large block of cella shaving soap tends to do that it's hard to argue with the economyGreat choice - it's an excellent soap!
That's never going to happen, but I'm simply looking for a better shaving soap for use with my SS Razors hence the title Recommended Shaving soap for use with SS Razors.You're going to try to get the same silky smooth feeling from a modern razor that you get from vintage???
