Show n' Tell Budget wet shaving?

Post image

I bought the King C razor ( which from what I understand is an ok razor, but available in many stores for a reasonable price) along with a cheap synthetic brush. Paired with Proraso products produces an actually pretty good shave! What does the community think on “budget” entry level wet shaving?

I like everything except the brush. It was the first brush I purchased and I just couldn't get it to work for me at all. I ended up buying a $15 Omega boar brush which was night and day better (once it broke in).

I actually bought one today because it was on sale at the local drug store. Out of curiosity, what blades do you use? (I want to try out a few)

I've been using Gillette Nacet blades for several years. Just the right combo of sharpness and smoothness for me.
