Going Mcguyver or go Commando?
I recently moved to a third world country permanently and have no access to the exclusive fancy brands. On top of that my third world salary wont suffice for international purchases.
I shave with a dovo disposable straight razor. I had a strop and a fancy black acrylic straight razor. I got the strop technique down and everything, but I simply like the disposable blades better.
I got the sickest brush too, silver tip badger hair, so the tools are of no issue.
Ive thought of myself as a mcguyver and used a sensitive skin shave cream and lotion for after shave, since we technically shave our skin off leaving it vulnerable. But i feel this isnt good enough. Ive heard of just water like all commando, ive done that before but i dont feel its healthy. Ive been straight razor shaving for some years now.
What im asking is, how do i mcguyver this?
Pre shave
Shaving cream
Aftr shave
Olive oil? Random shaving cream? vodka as after shave?
Thanks in advance!

I look to things that serve 2 or more purposes. Preshave - Noxzema and warm water; shave soap- what do you use for a shampoo?(may be a shampoo stick); aftershave... During the Depression(not this one, the other) Listerine Mouthwash., the original with alcohol, was used as an acceptable aftershave.
(If you're any where near a store that sells shave products or soaps from India, I find most to be very very reasonable in price and have excellent quality)

On a serious note. If you have a local small rug dealer. Stop by to look a half dozen times. Buy a small rug for your house. Make friends, stop by for coffee and small talk and he'll be able to get you what ever you need.
