Boar brush is my favorite brush. A while ago, I was fortunate enough to have my name selected in one of your appreciation give aways. One of the items was a Prorasso, by Omega, boar brush. It's not fancy, nor expensive. If I could only have one brush, that would be it! Thanks again, Ken!

A vintage Gillette shave is always fun. As an avid collector of vintage Gillette razors, they really did design and build them to last, to speak nothing of how cool they look. My collection spans the generations and also includes almost all of today's modern counterparts, but it's the vintage Gillettes I reach for the most. Top shave.

I love that Proraso soap... I am a head shaver as well. A year ago I was at a local Ross and found 12 of those tubs for $2 a piece. I keep them in the shower and use that as a daily face and head soap. Smells so good and all the healthy ingredients for the skin

Just scored a '46-'47 Aristocrat in its original clam shell case with blade bank. I was pleasantly surprised to find four vintage unused, wrapped Rawleigh blades in the blade bank. Other than some minor brassing on the safety bars, from regular use, it's in decent shape and gives a wonderful shave.

Proraso = Italian Noxzema. I use the Walmart brand of Noxzema. It costs a fraction of Proraso, smells about the same, works the same & the jar is big enough to last me the rest of my life. Grandpa left me his EverReady boar brush when he passed away in 1965. It works great, but I've gone on to a plethora of synthetics, horsehair and a couple of badgers. Never gave boar much thought, but I recently realized that I have 2 Semogue, 2 Omegas and the EverReady boar bristle brushes. It's a toss up between boar & a couple of favorite synthetics. Alum Blocks are perfect for the guy who thinks he needs to use an excessively sharp blade. if you get an aftershave burn, try using a different brand of blade.

Great shave Ken, I have one of those adjustable aristocrats on the way for my collection. Here lately my setup has been a muhle r41 rose handle, Kensurfs 2021 boar brush, proraso white, and Duke cannon ice cold shave balm, I love that stuff, it goes from a menthol feeling, to literally making your face feel ice cold. Well thanks again for the great video Ken!!

Good shave Ken. Proraso green is awesome. Bath & Body Works carries C.O. Bigelow which is a rebranded version of Proraso green. We are having the exact opposite weather here. In fact, we are about to get hit with a nasty snow storm.

Some people do, but generally you shave 2-3 times and toss it. Some do as many shaves as they can, but at .09 +/- it’s pretty pointless. To each their own…

You can, especially for the price. I am a fan of the Gillette Silver Blues... I took one all the way up to 15 shaves as a test just to see. But normally I go 2-3 shaves and toss it. I shave on Sunday-Wednesday-Friday so I just know come Sundays shave, time to replace the blade. They are so cheap I dont see the point in taking it longer than that.
