Reddit mentions of The Real Shaving Company Post Shave Soothing Balm Moisturising Sking Care Formula 100ml

I ordered a box from Harry's about a month ago. I was really excited as it looked like some great stuff.

Unfortunately I really didn't like any of it. The blades were decent. Good, sharp steel but there was no trimmer blade, the blade head was large and made of cheap plastic and didn't follow the contour of your face well. The shave cream sucked. It felt nice on the skin but barely lubricated at all.

Fortunately, their customer service is phenomenal. I emailed them saying I wasn't thrilled with the set and they completely refunded me. It might work out better for someone else but I wasn't a fan. I've shopped around a LOT over the past month trying to get the best shave. So far my favorites are:

Hands down the best shave cream I've ever used and I've used everything from mass-market shave gels to expensive soaps/creams. It's a little different from other shave creams but it gives an incredibly smooth shave even if you have sensitive skin. Very frugal too, a tube lasts a long time.

Not everyone uses post-shave balm but everyone should. Soothes irritation and moisturizes your skin. This stuff is my favorite. Feels really nice and does a great job of healing any razor burn you might get. A little pricey but the little tube goes a long way.

And for blades I settled on Dorco blades. They're the same blades sold through Dollar Shave Club but if you get them on the Dorco USA website they're MUCH cheaper. I tried using a safety razor and it's just not my thing. The Dorco blades are, I'd say, about on par with Gillette Fusion blades and many, many times cheaper.

And remember: when you try a new type of razor or razor brand, give it a few shaves before you judge it. Sometimes your face needs to adjust and you will also subconsciously adjust your shaving technique because every razor is different.

Go forth and be manly my children.

I really like the Real Shaving Co.'s Post Shave Soothing Balm. It leaves my skin smooth and hydrated and has a light lotion like texture (somewhat akin to lubriderm). It has aloe fairly high on the ingredient list and anything with aloe tends to cooperate very well with my skin type. I tend to use it as a protective barrier under either a Fine or Pinaud splash.
