Shaving Supplies Tips

I hope this helps someone who is serious about shaving properly. It's very simple, take a good brush and a good bar of soap. You don't have to spend hundreds of dollars, just be smart and do your research. I explained with a cheap brush (about $7) and bought soap that some people make and sell with basic ingredients and essential oils but they know NOTHING about shaving soap. Firstly, when they try to tell you not to expect a lot of suds from their soap, and that's fine, well. it's just not true. You have to spend a little more and get a really good bar of soap. I use Edwin Jagger soap in my mug and with the right brush you get a lot of lather. Soap costs about $8 here. Don't skimp on corners and try to save pennies by buying crappy soap. I recommend the Edwin Jagger Traditional English Best Badger Hair Shaving Brush. Yes, it will cost you around $40, but it's worth every penny. The better quality, more expensive badger brushes tend to be too soft to create good lather, and the cheaper ones shed hair almost from day one, and you don't want them on your face if your razor just glides over them instead of at it do shave. She. It is also not necessary to use very hot water. This is not good for the brush. Nobody's ever seen a badger take a hot bath, right? As for the rest of your "set", I think it matters less. I found a nice old mug on one of the auction sites. As for my razor, I like Gillette's three-blade type blade. They seem to work well with my beard and are a good mid-range price point. I can use for a month or more before replacing it with this brush and soap combo. Bottom line you trust this English company who have been making quality products for years, they have a long tradition and the prices are fair here. The only downside to this product is that the handle could have been a little longer. . Another half inch would be much more comfortable to use in the cup and on the face.
