I started wetshaving ~3 months ago. After conducting research, I bought a sample pack of blades, a Merkur 34 HD, an Omega 48 brush and an "ulimate proraso sampler". Three months later, no nicks, cuts, burn and my routine as follows:
Gillette 1953 SS w/Personna Lab Blue (Bought the SS on ebay because I wanted to purchase at reasonable price before WSing popularity begins to increase price)
Omega 48 brush
Proraso Green Pre/Post Shave
Proraso Green Shave Cream WTG, XTG
Razorock Alum Stick
Proraso Liquid Creme Aftershave (old forumula)
My only question is with regards to the after shave. They don't make it anymore and the new stuff isn't the same (for me). Rather than become a hoarder and hunt relentlessly for bottles of the old stuff, is there something out there from a different manufacturer that is comparable to the old Proraso Liquid Creme?
Thanks for any help
I am also not opposed to begin hoarding, but three months into this new ritual seems a little soon to develop "quirks".
