My future mother-in-law bought me some Trader Joe's Moisturizing Cream Shave. While not very good as a primary shave cream, it's awesome as a beard softener.

Behold, the newest in shaving gimmicks... the Rolling Razor!!

... and it was the smoothest, most effortless, "easiest" shave I've ever had.

I agree with KAV. Another reason why I enjoy DE shaving after years and years of cartridge shaving, is the ability to cater to ones specific needs at a much cheaper price. You can purchase the highest quality steel at a fraction of the cost of a cartridge that even has more shaves per blade.

I subscribe to www.uncrate.com, which is a site dedicated to the newest in technology, style, and gear. They recently featured the Merkur 34C.

It looks like DE shaving is on its way to a comeback (not that it ever left).

sorry about that, you can delete this post

After reading a post about canned goo, I'm just wondering what everyone thinks of this device: http://www.allbrands.com/images/products_main/M_11982_HLM10.jpg The home hot-lather machine. I remember owning one in undergrad, and at the time, it was the best present I have ever received. I probably wo...

I used to have the same problem. What worked for me was changing my routine: 1) In the shower, I pre-soak my beard with Trader Joe's shaving cream. (it was a gift from my future mother in law. It's not great to shave with, but excellent as a pre-shave) 2) I use a pre-shave oil from eshave and leave ...

My future mother-in-law bought me some of the Trader Joe's shaving cream a while ago. Though alone it's no where near the quality of shave that a good soap or cream produces, I discovered that if I leave it on while in the shower to soften my beard, then proceed with my regular shaving routine, it p...

Thank you for the recommendation. I will definitely try the blue ones soon.

As a newer DE shaver, I'm slowly cycling through my razor sampler kit from westcoastshaving.com. This week I started on the Personna Platinum blades... very very nice. Perhaps it's partially due to improved shaving technique, but I have absolutely no nicks and no burn whatsoever. My face is back to ...

So... How much is it?

Gentlemen,

I've been using a shavemac finest brush based on recommendations I read on this site. I don't have a stand yet. Should I invest in one? Or is it ok to dry the brush on its end?

Thank you in advance.

This is an amazing bargain. On the Tiffany & CO website, a shaving bowl goes for $650, and I found one one ebay for $349.

If I only had to eat this week...

I'm also new to the board. I too am new to the world of the single blade shave, and am loving every minute of it. Everyone on here is very knowledgeable and helpful. Welcome!

Gentlemen, I'm just wondering if anyone has any suggestions for a Eucalyptus & Menthol soap that is just a little milder than Proraso. I do enjoy Proraso, and it's pretty invigorating, but since I'm still learning my shaving method, it tends not feel too great after a nick or two (or three). Tha...

I purchased MWF on the high recommendations found on this site. The only other products I've used was Proraso and eShave. MWF is an amazing product with a mild, masculine scent and a very nice lather. Everyone is right when they say it's a must-try.

Gentlemen, I have a Hydrolast Starter kit (Shave Cloth, Primer/Soap, 2oz Shave Paste, Cutting Balm) that was used only once that I would like to sell or trade. I'm new to the single-blade shaving world and would like to try as many things as I can. The scent of the primer soap is "sea mist.&quo...
