+l for the C.O. Bigelow. I'm new at wet shaving and I have tried seven different brands of creams and soaps---Bigelow is the best of them. Better than VDH in my opinion.

What others have said is what I'd agree with.
Most stores sell an styptic pencil fairly cheaply for the occasional nick. Aqua Velva is a pretty good splash aftershave, and Nivea is a decent balm. VDH Delux is at Walgreens and is servicable. Bigelow is a decent creme, and isn't generally too hard to find locally at bath and bodyworks. You can find Williams at many stores, too. Some love Williams, and some hate it. What every one agrees on is that it is cheap enough to be worth trying.
Also, witch hazel can make a pretty good aftershave.
I highly recommend Kiss My Face from health food stores, plus Whole Foods, etc.
Almost all the drug stores sell Clubman Pinaud After Shave Lotion. This is one aftershave i overlooked for years, and it has become my favorite quickly. Aqua Velva is also a good one but that clubman is heaven in a bottle, and i have not meet a women that dose not dig it...
bedbathandbeyond has plenty of VDH
Old Spice, about $7 at Walmart.
"Shave Secret" at Walmart for $3.49 has been the best investment for my shaves so far.
I'm a newbie also, but I've had good luck with this preshave so far.
I don't mind Kaloderma shave cream in the squeeze tube. Also, Nivea products aren't bad either.
Sad deal today.........told the wife to get some Williams at Kroger. She came back with 8 cakes. Said it was discontinued, marked down to 20 cents each! Where am I gonna get my fix????
Gotta hit the Krogers~! ;)
You know you got me using the Williams too. I think you stuck a puck in one of my care packages one time. I here people complain about the stuff but I never had a problem with it drying out. Totally the most bang for your buck.
