Nothing beats a good shave! I use oil & cream applied with a badger hair brush and as for aftershave it MUST be alcohol free because alcohol dries the skin and makes you look old. The brand I use is called 'The Art of Shaving' and the oil & cream have a sandalwood scent to them. Perfect stuff really, never any razor burn or dry skin and leaves my face smooth as silk.

If I had a steadier hand and more time I would use a straight razor because that's the best shave you can get! And a hot towel treatment after....oh, very nice, a great shave will make you look and feel like a million bucks!
