Thread: It seems I lost my edge

I use Proraso pre/post, which seems to work fine even in Canada's cold dry winters. Castle Forbes makes a nice water soluble shave oil, but is expensive because it's CF. You're probably going to have to buy online.

I also agree with shooter. If you've done some restorations to your blades a full bevel reset is the standard recommendation. That would definitely account for your subpar results and is something that I overlooked earlier.
