I just did some research and it is another brushless cream

i was mostly just curious if you can, i kinda gave up on the soap for now and went with creams but i have been getting better at lathering.

Can you use a shaving brush with shave butter

Well the only thing I can say is that I would jjunk the merkur blade but you learned the hard waywhen I'm done with my blade sampler I'm going to try treets as well

I was just using the bowl as a place to load the brush then i face lather. I will difenetly practice more. with just crappy lather I made I got a better shave then with the canned goo I was using.

well i just used it the brush was easy to use lost like 6 hairs first use and the soap i couldn't get it to work for me i guess i didn't quite get all the excess water out of the brush or i just need to practice more

Well I got the set as a birthday present I haven't used it yet but I wasn't going to buy it myself oh well I got to start somewhere

So I'm still on the hunt for my first shaving brush and a thought occurred in my mind should the shape of the handle be of cocern for a beginner. What are your thoughts?

the oil your talking about is probably safe and its sanitize and i just run the blade under the water before each shave.

beshaved welcome to SMF. what de razor do have?, are you using a blade sampler pack?. take your time and us a light touch because DE shaving well cut you if you ignore those two guidelines

i heard that the soap was pretty much trash but can teach you how use a brush. i mostly just want the brush and bowl

so i just got back from shopping at the local Walmart grocery shop and i passed the shaving are and i took a look to see if they had anything i needed and saw that they were selling van der hagen soaps razors and brushes the i saw the set with the soap the brush and the bowl, and i was thinking shou...

Finally!!! no cuts with these blades and no pulling and tugging with no irritation.all i had to do is add a few drops of pre-shave oil and i'm set. and i'm up to 4 shaves with the blade this time.

Well I started the part of my blade testing where I use preshave oil and definitely help with the pulling and tugging sensation I always got with these blades

at least the micro touch one can get a better shave then a cartridge and hopefully get people to switch like it did for me

welcome to SMF NJRonbo =D> . I myself recently have joined a few months ago and i still haven't even thought of buying a shaving brush yet and i still have to get rid of canned goo (i hate wasting things). I learned that pick the razor for the skin and the blade for the beard.also what i was told wa...

well i just finished my third shave with another lords classic blade and it went a lot better these couple times then the last blade.still have a little bit of pulling and tugging sensation with them but no irration.

I only have my merkur progress. But I will try them some more. Maybe try a fresh blade next time

i think this is one of my YMMV moments i'm still on my fist blade 3rd shave and almost every time it's always pulling and tugging and making me red no bumps at least.what do you think i should do keep going or trash them? these are the blades i'm talking about http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p175...

as this is my first time using lord classics i well probably change how i feel about them later on, but my first impressions is it's great for lighter beard areas but not for thicker areas i loved the audio feedback i got from them compared to the derby's and i only cut my chin once instead like 2-3...
