Feather Blades
There are a plethora of safety blades available. Feather are, by far, the sharpest razor blades around. If you are new to using a safety razor, first start with blades purchased at your local pharmacy. Once you realize how much money you save, you won't go back to buying multi-blade disposables.
Proraso Shaving Cream (Green - in the tube)
Proraso has a number of shaving creams in different formats. I prefer the original barbershop green style, in the tube.
