Thread: What do you use... other than a straight razor

I know everyone here is big fans of the open razors (I love mine too) but what else do you guys use. I was wondering simply because alot of the guys here seem to use traditional barbershop stuff. Me heres how it goes:

Shaving cream:
Truefitt & Hill Lavender

Aftershave:
T&H Classic Balm

Colognes:
Caswell-Massey: Newport, Jockey Club, Verbena, and Tricorn
Trumpers: Eucris, Bay Run, Limes, Spanish Leather, Astor
Truefitt: 1805, Trafalgar, Grafton, Clubman
Taylor: Eton College, Mr. Taylor

Body:
Lotil Hand Cream
Time for soaps.... oh man my bathroom is over flowing with these...
Claus Porto, Vinola, Magno, Caswell-Massey (too many too list!), Roger & Gallet, Musgo, Truefitt, Trumper, Taylor, Lepi de Provence, and many others
Nuetrogena Facial Scrub for occasional exfoliation
and Pore Strips for my nose to get rid of gunk on my nose, use those occasionaly

And for the record I am not a metrosexual... I use the newer products because I am a teenager and my skin if not kept in check would probably start to fall apart, not so much as with acne but it would not look as nice as it does now.

Oh and for moisturizer, Aveeno for Dry Skin, helps in the brutal northeast.

Wow, Patrick, your going to be a popular dormmate when you get to college .... you've got lots of good stuff to borrow, LOL

I really like in shave creams: e-shave's white tea, Coates Rose, The Art Of shavin Lavender, and Athony's Sport. Proraso & Musgo Real are excellent. In soaps I like all of the Conk line up and the Classic from Ray's Classic shaving. I wash my face often with the clear Neutragena soap. I occassionally use Preshave oils from e-shave and caswell Massey.

I love the after shave balms from: Burt's Bees, e-shave, Caswell, Le'Occitane, and one from Addias.

I have about 21 soaps and creams going in the bathroom in closed containers.

Variety is the Spice of life!

ENJOY!

Well when it comes to most of my grooming needs I don't let the bathroom overflow with razors, soaps, creams, etc. But bath soaps are my weakness, except for the closet in my bathroom it looks pretty normal. Open that closet though and its soaps galore, so many soaps, so little time.

For soaps, I'm about to start with one of Ray's sandalwood cakes. I have used eShave's Avocado (nice), Williams & Burma Shave.

I'm working on a tub of Vulfix sandalwood from Ray. Nice stuff. I tried a sample of the eShave cream and didn't really care for it.

I have some of the eShave pre-shave oil that I use every once in a while. With good prep, I can't really tell much difference whether I use the pre-shave or not.

I use eShave's moisturizer when I'm finished. I'll probably sneak into Foley's or Dillards and pick up some Clinique Moisture Surge when the eShave runs out. Women have nice products guys -- don't be afraid to ask!

For aftershaves, I have a bottle of Florida Water from Walgreen's that the wife hates (she says it smells of industrial floor cleaner). She purchased some "Chrome" cologne that she likes better.

Hey Patrick, you ought to change your forum name to "Bath-Man" -- the uncaped crusader, :roll:
