Williams shaving soap in my mug, badger brush and the hottest water my face can stand.
Works great for over sixty years!

I have some of that too. I’m almost done with the tube. I find the scent to be “just OK”.
I use their bar soap. My favorite has been the “campfire”. I saw that they now have a Bay Rum scent, as well, which I’d like to try.
It's unperfumed, so it smells natural, not exactly great, but not unpleasant at
all. I used to use olive soap from Aleppo/Syria for many many years, but then
stumbled upon this one from Marseille/France and I like it better as it doesn't
tend to get that mushy when wet. Both the olive soaps from Aleppo and Mar-
seille are much more pleasant to the skin than anything else I've tried before.

Cremo original paired with a Gillette Tech (1970's vintage) and a Dorco ST 301 blade works well for me.

Noxema in a can is no longer common in my locale either.
Barbersol. works great for keeping my skin from drying out. Used to use Gillette but i didnt like their ads. Barbersol also is made in the USA as well so extra bonus for me.
I do want to know what brand this guy recommends.

I’ve been collecting and using vintage shave gear for about 15 years. Favorite soap overall is vintage Williams, modern soap would be a tie between Arko, Palmolive,Tabac and Wilkinson sticks. Also like
Proraso creams.
Proraso creams.
This morning was the complete (Proraso Green) experience: Pre-shave cream, shaving foam and aftershave balm.

Barbasol, Edge or Gillette. Those are my favorites. I especially like the gel ones. I have a Gillette Mach 3 razor and a Gillette Fusion 5 razor and some other razor that my dad seen on TV that he bought one for both of us that has changeable cartridges in it too.
The purple can one is rarely seen in my locale. Walmart has had it on occasion.
My Walmart has it as long as I’ve been using it
I switch between Cremo and Shave Secret. I prefer the oil but sometimes want the extra slickness of Cremo.
My favorites have been The Body Shop cream and George Trumper cream. Now using Proraso in the green tub, but I like Proraso cream better.
Taylor of Old Bond Sandalwood. In a pinch, when taveling unexpectedly, hair conditioner.
I kind of rotate by week- my inventory is Proraso green, Cella red, Pre de Provence, Santa Maria de Novella, Cremo sage & citrus, Barrister & Mann Reserve Spice, Stirling Soap Scots Pine Sheep, and an old tub of Queen Charlotte Celestial Woods (smells like lumber). Right now, I have Proraso Green and Pre de Provence up.
And I go occasionally to Maggard Razors and get samples- this morning's shave was a Proraso white soap sample.

Same here...Equate or Barbasol for me...I avoid overpriced Gillette products for several reasons.
