Well I'm on my 4th shave now. I found the feather blade didn't last very long so on this shave I went with the persona blade and arko soap that small beard sent me-thanks again.
Hmmmm not great really, cut myself a lot. I'm thinking my prep still isn't right and will go back to the Proraso as I felt the lather was much better. I also think this might have been one of those confident shave moments which I messed up. Anyway my skin hated me for the whole day and the cuts were quite visible. Eek.
I've ordered a couple more bits. I decided quite quickly that I'm not the biggest fan of the omega boar hair brush and got the razorock big Bruce which is fantastic. I have also ordered some osp orange and peurtulia soap and after shave tonic which I can't wait to try.
I'm still very much enjoying it and testing different things but still looking for a nice shave. I'm sure it will come.
I keep looking at my post shave and I'm not sure if the Nivea balm is that great. I hear the osp tonic is good but should I be using a witch hazel before this?
What's your post shave routines?
Said it before and I'll keep banging on. No balm does what Aloe Vera gel does for razor burn and general skin soothing. If you want to continue suffering red, angry, painful skin after shaving then enjoy the balms and aftershaves.
Yep, and this. You don't have to get a dedicated shaving product to do the job. I read elsewhere, put the word 'shaving' in a product title and charge 4 times more for it.Said it before and I'll keep banging on. No balm does what Aloe Vera gel does for razor burn and general skin soothing. If you want to continue suffering red, angry, painful skin after shaving then enjoy the balms and aftershaves.
Sometimes even a Yorkie nails it. Aloe Vera is Nature's wonder cure. This is why most balms and aftershaves contain aloe vera.Said it before and I'll keep banging on.

Much more out of you and you'll need to find out what it's like for a bust nose lol.If you're like a lot of Yorkshiremen who still rely on candles for illumination, aloe vera is quite good for first aid on facial burns.
...and it isn't African either...No point adding anything to Aloe Vera just get as pure as you can get. Unless it's out of the leaf you will struggle to buy 100% pure so the best I have found is Naissance Aloe Vera Gel. It's cheap enough off that site that sounds like a large African River....And it isn't the Nile
Gawd yeah what an idiot it's South American....forgive my hasty stupidity. Didn't think....and it isn't African either...
Got a tub the other day, on your recommendation. Thanks for the heads up on that.the best I have found is Naissance Aloe Vera Gel. It's cheap enough off that site that sounds like a large African River....And it isn't the Nile
You are in danger of being stoned with pucks of MWF.... :-DIf you're like a lot of Yorkshiremen who still rely on candles for illumination, aloe vera is quite good for first aid on facial burns.
