    Like most blokes stuff, bit of a boutique industry going on, but no need to spend silly money.
    Use a Merkur 34C safety razor with feather brand blades, Taylor of Bond Street shaving cream with a good brush.
    About £100 for the lot, a bit spendy if your used to using yellow Bic's, but a good investment.
    Helluva shave and you end up saving money over time.
    Good razor the Merkur. Inclined not to use the feathers much as you need to alter the angle a fair bit but they are damn sharp

    Preferred razor - Merkur 39c with 7 'o' clock platinum blades. A basic Edwin Jagger occasionally
    A couple of semogue shaving brushes on rotation - had a New Forest Brush in the past.
    Usual wet shaving paraphernalia of an assortment of shaving creams.
    I find disposable razors to be a nightmare

    I’ve been using a Merkur 34C double edge safety razor for years now.
    I could never go back to disposables.

    I use it with BIC blades, Truefitt & Hill Ultimate Comfort Shaving Cream and Korres Aftershave Balm.

    I use a cut throat / straight razor when I'm in the mood. For a fast shave, I use the blue triple Lidl (or Aldi, can't remember) razors which are very good. Shaving cream is Weleda or the turkish Arko shaving stick. After shave is mostly some balm from Weleda or from Nicolas Jennings (Ambre Essentiel) and sometimes some original Bay Rhum. Makes me feel fresh and ready for a good tune and / or a good time with my wife.

    Yeah. It leaves less of a rash when you shape up the 'Brazilian'.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    I used Merkur blades for a long time but now use the Bic Chrome Platinums which are a little sharper but still extremely smooth for me.
    Choice of blades is a such personal thing though ... Bit like vintage tubes!!
