The Shaving Thread

[Paddy]

It took me awhile to find what worked best for me...started using a generic puck my wife bought me at the grocery store (I do not recommend this ) to Proraso, to C.O. Bigelow, was then given some Cremo Cream for Christmas last year as well as a kit from Art of Shaving. Tried both and liked both, but ended up sticking with the AOS cream. It's a bit pricey in the store, but it can be found cheaper online. I've found that a tub will last about 6 months or so.

That said, I found that having a decent brush made the most difference- my wife also bought me a generic (synthetic) brush from the same grocery a few years back. Upgrading to a better brush was night and day.

I was mistaken, I have not tried the Cremo...This is what I tried

Not bad, but I preferred the AOS.

You don't find the AOS too loose? I found it hard to control the amount I get when I dip my brush in the pot.
I tried the Lemon and loved the lather and scent, I just wished it was a bit more firm.
