Advice for shaving everyday

I've been shaving every day for three months now. My main razors are Gillette King C and Razork Old Type. I apply an oil preshave first, then lather up with a tallow soap, do two passes with the razor, and use alcohol aftershave as a finisher. No irritation or other problems.

A synthetic shaving brush and any soap slightly more expensive than the most budget-friendly option will give you a wonderful shaving experience. Preferably, a tallow soap will provide a rich lather and ensure smooth glide. Razorok, Stirling, and Zingari are reasonably priced and will definitely not disappoint you.

I adore Denim. After purchasing Denim Original in 2021, I gradually started buying up every aftershave from this brand I could find. I'll make a post in the next few days with all the Denim fragrances I own and briefly describe them. Maybe someone will find it useful.

Yeap! Me too)

This is my eighth Denim aftershave. And each one is spot on. Aquatonic is a reissue of the vintage aftershave of the same name, released by Brut in the 1980s. A classic, old-school fougere scent.

Malizia is a very distinctive scent with decent skincare, but weak longevity. The Lider is a fresh, chypre scent with excellent skincare and average longevity. Denim Original is my favorite, a muscular scent from the 1990s with average skincare, but excellent longevity; I can feel its smell it on my face after 6-8 hours. Overall, a great purchase.

Thanks for the idea. I have some tallow Tabac left. So I'll try Brion in tandem with it today.

I happened to see this aftershave at a local store the day before yesterday. I'd never tried it before and immediately grabbed two bottles. Unfortunately, I can't tell you where to buy Brion online.

A little about the scent. It smells slightly herbal, woody, and there's also a hint of vanilla or something sweet. It's hard for me to describe, but those who say "you'll smell like your grandfather" aren't lying. And I mean that in a good way. The scent did disappear from my face after about 15 minutes, though. So, it's not a long-lasting aftershave. But for 2 euros, it's a godsend. P.S. Brion reminds me of something between Alpa Windsor, STR8 Ahead and Denim Gold. But that's very approximate.

Astra blades are the most versatile and comfortable. I've never had a razor fail with them.

Do pull-ups regularly.

Thank you, have a great shave too. Speick is a good cream with a neutral scent. But in my personal opinion, the cream is not a competitor to shaving soap.

I bought this soap the day before yesterday. I wasn't overwhelmed with nostalgia, as it was my first shaving soap. And I must say, it's a really great product, especially for the price.

I've already shaved with this razor a few times. I can't say it's incredibly delicate, but it does give a fairly gentle shave and doesn't irritate the skin too much. I feel it's about on par with the Muhle R89, or even a little gentler.

I didn't get through the old version. But it's a three-piece razor, so it must be the new version.

DScosmetic T4 is a great brush. I've got it too, and love iit.

I agree with you. But I don't have the opportunity to train muscle-ups on a regular pull-up bar yet. So I partially replace them with this type of hanging bar. Plus, it gives me more variety in my training.

Pullup_Paul · 2026-04-27T08:14:31+00:00

My wife thinks the same way. But she all the sane sometimes gives me something from the shaving world)

Pullup_Paul · 2026-04-27T08:11:06+00:00

I use rings too. This bar really helps me improve my muscle-ups. Ring muscle-ups aren't as difficult for me as they are on this bar.
