| Shaving Cream
so what do you guys use?
I've been trying to find a good one, moved from, barbasol->gillet-> Nievea ... and they seem mediocre.

Man-made cream.
It's a little known fact, but the creamy consistency of poop makes for a very good lubricant for shaving.

I gotta say I like Edge Active Care the most; trying to get through my Nivea so I can go back to it.

It's really awesome during winter - hot shaving. During summer go for "cooling" soaps and creams with mint and stuff in it. http://artofmanliness.com/2008/01/04...-your-grandpa/
I have a DE razor, but most days I stick with my Mach 3 for convenience and quickness.

kiss my face makes pretty good skin products for cheap. my gf uses it all the time. i personally like the barbasol w/aloe. smells fresh but not overpowering

I use the Edge cleaning gel stuff, whatever it's called. It's nice, smells good, and apparently helps clean your face. At any rate, I've tried others, and keep coming back to this one. I've got an electric one too for weekday mornings when I'm in a hurry. The long hair trimmer on it is great for sideburn trimming and stuff. The only downside is that it's not as close a shave as the blade. (Schick Diamond FX is my fave). After shaving with either one, I use EGO Trip moisturizer from Shoppers. It's nice stuff, doesn't leave you greasy at all, not too strong smelling either.

Never tried it, though, but I've certainly heard of it. My current choice is Arko Citrus, from Turkey (and $5, shipped). I have some Taylor's of Bond Street stuff when I feel like extra luxury.

Use Cetaphil to shave. And while that Cetaphil is on your face, wash it off with water and you just washed off your face. hahahahaha

I use the cheap shit, and I'm learning to use a straight razor.

I use Taylor of Old Bond Street. I'm thinking of switching over to Truefitt & Hill after I run out of this one. The Col. Conk stuff is not bad either. Pair if up with the Merkur single blade Ch28 suggested and then you'll be in it for the win.
Do a search in the health forums. There are some extensive threads in regards to razors and shaving cream with lots of helpful hints and tips.
