Thread: Questions: Spike Point/Rounded + Soaps

spike point, round point french point barbers notch IT DOES NOT MATTER they are all still super sharp metal blades i have the small rooney brush i like it alot! if your trying to get your bf a set for cheap that matches vintage blades is a good one stop shop thats where i got my start. you can find a good strop here on this site and look in the classifieds for a good razor(many of them the shipping is included and are noted to be either shave ready or not shave ready)

personally i like the shaving cream better seems to lather up super thick alot easier than soap(but in my location we have very very hard water, which may be of some cause) look on ebay and find a vintage shaving mug for under 15$ including shipping
go to vintage blades get a brush and acrylic stand shaving soap or cream and a matching aftershave

in the long run its not a 1 stop shopping it takes more time but will be cheaper and can put togther a vrey nice set..sometimes old stuff is just better quality than something new...make sure to read the wiki page for the straight razors here..tells you whats good and what to avoid!!
