Looking for EU shaving supplies (lemmy.world)

Firstly I want to get rid of my Gilette shavers since the cartridges are expensive for the handles and don't last so long, so I would like to move to some safety razor solution. At least I also reduce my plastic usage.

I'm also open for alternative shaving foam and after shave products.

For shaving cream Proraso is excellent.

Depending on where you are in Europe there are many small shops that still make House blends of shaving cream, or more likely, shaving soap. Shaving soap with a good brush is superior, you will never go back to shaving foam. It's cheaper too.

For disposable blade straight razors the Turkish brand Sedef is good.

I use either my Sedef or an old Gillette I got for $3 at a flea market. I also have an old Merkur, but the action is not as tight, so it sees less use.

+1 for proraso! I wanted to comment about them because I use their shaving soap that needs to be used with a brush and it’s perfect
