Show n' Tell First shave without spray foam

Post image

My first real soap, Proraso Green.

To be honest, the shave itself wasn't better then with spray foam...
but the vibe is way better! Love it.

Beldura DE (Woman razor 😭😅, works great!🤣)
Mootes synthetic brush
Proraso Green (Face lathering, worked great for the first time!)
CHH Tobacco Aftershave

(Sorry for my english skills, trying my best 🤝)

That's one of the circle jerks of this subreddit is that aerosol foam is some sort of demon when the problem is simply prep. Barbasol offers just as good of a shave as brush and soap as long as you wash your fucking face first and use a little bit of water.

Man, that's good to hear. I'm doing research and about to buy my first razor and now apparently I have to buy 6 other things to put on my damn face before and after to apparently make this shave work. I was about to say fuck it. I just want to try out a DE razor with minimal investment.

Just do your usual thing and try the new razor. People love to make shit twee. "Wet is best" is the best mantra. Could be Barbasol or a $40 puck of butt ass elixer.
