Did try that when I got my adjustable. In the end I settled for leaving it on the mildest setting. Multiple passes gives me a shave that's more than good enough with zero skin irritation.

When I want it really smooth I use my shavette.

I just use feather razor blades for the sharpest cut. Just need 2-3 passes for a smooth hair free face.

I use T&H Sandalwood shaving cream as it smells so nice and lubricates very well.

Can get at local shop Nivea Men Shave Stick and Aftershave Lotion?

I got them from overseas.

The Post Shave Balm is available at local pharmacies/grocery stores...

Do you all shave and wet the face using warm water? Or just normal tap water also enough?

usually have a warm shower first then only start the shaving

I'm also new into this Wet shaving.

To minimize skin burn, you can use shaving soap or cream, shave WTG, XTG and finally ATG.

Much easier, of like me, I only do WTG -> XTG, only 2 pass each.

hello all.

Is this thread still active?

Im thinking of giving tis ago. since i only use disposable razors and its not really good for the skin. cant get smooth shave.

And i dont feel like going ot the barber everytime i wanna shave.


where in subang/damansara area can i get a set of razor, blades, brush and soap for beginners?

Thanks

You'll also find a benefit to your wallet if you change to a double edge shaver. I would buy the razor online, I bought one of these with a stand, quality is excellent and cut is adjustable.

Double edge means both sides of the razor can be used right?
Cut adjustable means can choose how close the shave can be?

Never bought anything from ali express. The blades where do u buy it? Brush? Bowl? Soap/cream?

Yes double edge are the standard blades .

Last time I bought a sample pack from a guy advertising on Mudah, several different brands, that was about 2 years ago, I'm still working through them. I can give you his contact, if you're interested.

Yes the adjustment is for the closeness of the shave, twist the stem.

I don't usually bother with shaving soap, I just use Tesco brand shaving foam. I bought a brush in body shop a long time ago, probably not the best, but it's OK, they may have shaving soap as well.

If you're new to using a DE razor, you may end to nick your skin at first, I did. I recommend you get an aluminium salt stick to quickly stop the bleeding, I find 'Smelly No More' works well, you can buy in a pharmacy or online.

know where i can get the razor and blades at a shop?
have this thing against buying stuff online.

ooo smelly no more is same as the alum salt block?

I second all kk131 has said. But if you insist on buying in a shop, you can try Mydin. They will usually have the cheap Indian razors and blades. Brand is Laser. That's what I started with. Used it until it broke (I dropped it).

This is what it looks like:

thanks. checked ali express, it said 3 weeks to a month to send the order. too long. figured if i can buy at a shop, lagi cepat.

ok will try that.

Keep in mind that the blades and the razor itself make a big difference to the shaving experience. Try first with the readily available equipment, then consider upgrading if it goes OK.

sure thing. ya, didnt want to spend a lot for a starter kit

Don't worry, once you catch the bug you'll be itching to buy a better razor and blades in no time.
