Thread: Method Shaving and Straight shaving?

Anyone ever done a "Method" shave with a straight razor? Or use a "Method shaving mix" for straight shaving? I'm curious about the results and review? Especially how Hydrolast products perform with a straight razor.

Method shaving has a cult type following and the system does seem to give a good shave but it seems it was started to promote proprietary products that had to be used. Traditional wet shaving methods such as good prep and a good shave soap or cream or both work just as well or better. You be the judge. You spend your money on their products or not.

haha bj, you're absolutely right. check out my post under the shaving forum called "Whaaaat?". Its in a similar vein. I was just curious if anyone had used their products with a straight shave. I'm not planning on buying 4 different products simply to make a lather when my $7 tube of proraso works wonders

Why bother? I get great shaves with my own method.

One of the barber shops down here in Austin (where Enchante is located) worked with Charles on a variation of the paste for straight shaving and does all of her straight razor shaves using the Hydrolast line in her shop. I have used it from time to time and there are several straight users who use the Hydrolast line regularly for straight rzor shaving.

Seems like a waste of time and money to me.

And that's because you never spend too much money on this hobby now, right? I think I suffer from every AD there is.

If you haven't tried it, don't knock it. If the scents could match Mama Bear, I probalby always use Hydrolast as the slickness and effect on your skin is absolutely unmatched.
