Not thin, not wide. Just right.

Just finally bought a new brush. I went a 100% pure badger the first time, which is a rookie mistake. I have sensitive skin, so I finally came to the conclusion that abusing my skin with a brush just isn't the way to go. Looked at some of the best badger brushes, but read lots of good things about Muhle synthetic brushes, so I pulled the trigger on this bad boy.
These things are expensive in the US ($72), but you can get them for much less directly from London ($40). Yeah. Probably still expensive for a brush, but screw it.

Looks nice.
As noted earlier in this tread I started up a few months ago. The best badger brush is working great and I've barely gone through 1/4 of my first can of TOBS Almond scent shaving cream. That stuff is expensive but it REALLY lasts.
Still not sure which blades I prefer though - I bought about 25 Feather and 25 Astra (both were platinum). Both are great IMO.

I am addicted to feather. I absolutely love them. I had Wilkinson Sword before those, and they were great. Feather are definitely more dangerous, but I have gotten them down.
As far as soap, I started with Proraso, and I just can't change at this point. I started with the green tub, but I just bought the white tub for sensitive skin. I think the oatmeal will be good for my skin. shite gets red if I touch it too hard.

Feather blades in a vintage gillette tech razor is a great combo. The techs mildness balances the feather sharpness.

Proraso green tub
Caused my sinuses to drain so much that I had to reapply to my mustache area before even getting to shave it.
Some may find that gross. I found it kind of refreshing.

What the hell?
I guess that is a good side effect. I hated the smell and feel at first, but I liked it after a week. I honestly would have given up on wet shaving if I hadn't put so much money into it.
Now, I can honestly say that I get a better shave every day (that I shave) than I had ever gotten in my live. I have a scar on the bottom of my chin that was impossible to shave around with multiple blade cartridges.

I use the green Proraso. Also have the green Proraso pre shave but I use it as an after shave too. Leaves a refreshing feeling for much longer on your face.

I use the green proraso tub as well, works great for me. I've also swapped my razor to a Merkur 38 "Barber Pole". Feather or Astra SP blades work great. Now that my technique is really down, getting great shaves and maybe even enjoying it.

You didn't mention how the brush feels? Similar to the badger hair?

Posted by CHEDBALLZ I shave in the shower every morning with the blus razor blades that come 20 in a pack from wal mart. Use conditioner for shaving cream. Been doing that for 10 years without a problem.

With the Gillette Fatboy set on 7 I have pretty much gone to 2 pass shaves with Astra SP blades

My Muhle synthetic brush came in yesterday, and I used it for the the first time this morning. Oh my God. How was a using a pure badger? Unreal improvement. I couldn't irritate my face if I wanted to with this thing.

How is this cream as a starter?
what is a good safety razor to start?
Merkur 34C?
Badger hair the best brush?

How often are you supposed to replace the razor in a safety razor?
Once a week?

You sound like the kind of guy who carries around hand moisturizer.

Was given one of these recently. It works amazingly fast and close. Takes about 30 seconds to shave.
