Merkur double edge and water. If it gets long, a little cheap conditioner from the shower. Still on the same 10 pack of merkur blades from Father's Day.
Hydro 5, whatever soap or shaving cream is around, using my hand. I have eczema pretty much all over my head/face so I use coconut oil before I use the soap or shaving cream. I noticed it kept my flair ups down and reduced redness of my skin. My upper lip is SUPER sensitive which all this only started when I turned 30
Gillette Tech, Personna blue or Voskhod double edge blades. Omega boar brushes and too many soaps/creams to list. No ingrown hairs, rash or knicks since dumping cartridges. If you want a new obsession, go to the Badger and Blade forum.
I normally have a beard from October to April. However, this year, as I don't want to be scruffy in front of a jury, I am waiting until next week to stop shaving when my trial is done.
So, real men don't shave when the leaves are off the trees...unless they have to.
I'm also a fan of the Merkur razors and have been using them for about 30 years. I used a lot of Gillette and Barbasol in the past but have switched to a shaving mug with soap and a boars hair brush in the past year or so.
