Congratulations. I made the switch a few years ago to traditional wet shaving because I was tired of paying more each year because Gillette decided to add another blade to its Cartridge. It's all marketing. All you need is a good safety razor. Think German made. Double edge blades. Japan has the sharpest. And a silver-tip badger hair brush. The key is making three passes for a face as smooth as a babies bottom.

Here are the top three soaps IMO. I prefer them to creams for protection.

#1. Proraso. Soap and AS. Best protection.

#2. Tabac. Soap, AS & cologne. Best scent.

#3. Mitchels Wool Fat. A Must have. No after shave needed.
