The best way to shave is : warm water, sharpest blades, something with a lot of slippage

Dorco Double Edge Blades

2008-06-15T16:53:00.004-05:00

Dorco is making some blades at a decent quality and an amazing price, if you know where to look. Not the sharpest , not the dullest, but the price at which one can get these blades, more than makes up for anything lost.

Pirates Cove Shaving Soap

Pirates Cove soap has always worked well for me. It really does lather the way way a shave was meant to be. The menthol shaving soap is my favorite but I also enjoyed the bay rum soap. Also comes in lavender , lime and rose. The pirate ship packaging is a nice touch.

After a week of Burma Shave

2008-05-23T13:01:00.002-05:00

After a week of Burma shave, I feel like I was able to get it to the best quality possible but its just not the best product. I think less water in the brush and more on the tip seems to get the job done. I place the tip of the brush over the top of the soap and whip for around two minutes. This really creams the soap. I just felt burma leaves a dry face.
I picked up some cheap soap at the supermarket today. The price is right and I have heard good things about it, so I might as well try.

After a couple of days the results are mixed. As far as the Burma shave goes, the smell is alright but I find it a little drying and haven't really been able to get the lather as creamy as I would like. I will try less water on the brush tomorrow. Maybe it's just me but I find the derby blades with the 38C a little aggressive for someone with sensitive skin.
