Traditional Shaving.

Forget about shaving with a 20 blade cartridge razor that chops your face to bits and sticky canned goo that all cost a fortune in the long run. Forget about electric shaves that leave you with a morning with a 5:00 shadow. Try traditional wet shaving.
Traditional wet shaving is the way great grandpa used to shave. Be a man and grab a brush, shave soap, mug, and a double edge safety razor and enjoy the most comfortable relaxing shave you ever experienced. Say goodbye to razor burn, no more sticky,smelly goo on your face, and no more spending 30 bucks for 8 cartridges. Sure you will spend a little more for the initial set up. But, in the end your face and your wallet will thank you.
First pick your setup. There are tons of razors from all price ranges. You can go with a new single edge, double edge, or straight razor. Or you can opt for buying antique razors from, flea markets, antique shops, yard sells, pawn shops, and eBay.
If you have chosen a DE (double edge safety razor) then order yourself a sample pack of DE blades and find your perfect blade and razor combo. Some blades can still be found at some stores.
Then choose a good brush and mug also in all price ranges. Brushes are made of boar hair badger hair and scythe-tic. There are three types of badger brushes pure, super, and silver tip. Silver tip badger brushes are said to be the best do to the hold they have on water and lather.
Then what are you going to use to replace that canned goo? There are lots of shave soaps on the market some of the lesser grade soaps are still sold in brick and mortar stores while others will have to be ordered.
Then shave cream in tubes and tubs can be a little harder to find in stores but you can find tons online.
Some people like to use a pre shave oil to help the blade guide across the skin. Then use a good aftershave balm or splash.
If you happen to cut yourself they make alum blocks and styptic pencils to stop bleeding and disinfect.
I made the change! Now my shave is closer, my face is smoother, I smell great, and most of all I enjoy shaving a lot. It's more of a hobby then a chore now.
I'm going to be getting on here reviewing some of the shaving products that I experiment with to let you know what I think.

Here is a list of some of the kinds of things mentioned.

Williams Shave Soap can be found at pharmacies and grocery stores.
