      Careful, you get a shave soap, then you need a brush. Then you buy a scuttle to keep the foam warm and airated.

      At some point you find yourself up at night reading lengthy blog posts about badger vs synthetic brushes and before you know it you’ve got a whole wet shave lifestyle going.

      (I kid, shave soap was the best thing to happen for my razor burn, highly recommend it)

    Bar soap if your skin can tollorate it.

    But I’ve used a few shaving products (and razor) from the Canadian owned and operated Rocky Mountain Barber Company, and their stuff is also Made in Canada: https://rockymountainbarber.ca/collections/mens-shaving-creams

    While not explicit, I believe all their shaving products are vegan. Their listed ingredients don’t alarm me, and their shave bar scored really well on the EWG Skin Deep rating.

    What’s the purpose of shaving cream? I’ve used some many years ago before I switched to just trimming, but I have no idea what it does. Lubrication?

    I don’t necessarily recommend it, but i have been just using hot water for years. Run the razer under the tap, take a swipe. Rinse, repeat.
