Shaving is a time consuming and challenging task for me. My goal here is to make it fun and fast for you. If you are a cartridge razor guy and it’s working just fine for you can you skip the parts that I go over my choice of razor and blade. If I use cartridge I prefer Gillette Mach3 but I still prefer something sharper and easier to clean. To be honest I’ve never tried straight razor because I simply didn’t have the guts to have one! So I can’t make any comment on that but intuitively it should be even better in terms of ease of cleaning the blade (sharpening the blade is a different story but still shouldn’t take long) and the speed.

Shaving Cream
The Art of Shaving Shaving Cream, Sandalwood:
I like the sandalwood scent. The quality of the cream is also consistent and good. I used to use the art of shaving pre shave oil and I recommend it, if you want to make your shaving experience a little more smooth and special.

Shaving Brush and Bowl Shaving Set
The set below is a decent set. The badger brush smells (I assume its the badger smell :-) ) a little bit but not annoying at all. The grip is good and I like the wooden texture of the brush. the hanger is a bit clumsy and the rubber caps come off easily but to me it’s not a big deal. The stainless steel cup is big enough and good quality.
Safety Blade
Razor
MERKUR Futur Adjustable Double Edge Safety Razor:
I love this product. the head is adjustable and the whole razor looks so nice and feels super good to hold and use.

Blade
MERKUR Double Edge Razor Blades:
When it comes to the blade there are multiple good options out there. I personally use Merkur and Astra and I should admit that both are good. However, I still like Merkur better. I don’t have any scientific evidence for this but Merkur blade feels sharper to me and I like the fact that you can use the same container to safely dispose your used blades.

After Shave
The Art of Shaving After Shave Balm, Sandalwood:
I’ve tried many many after shaves and this is definitely one of the best ones. The balm smells good, soothes skin and does not burn your sensitive shaved skin. Overall very good product.
