Tube or tub

I have switched over to tubes of cream, my favorite creams are from Geo F Trumpers and Truefitt & Hill

I have a decent sized rotation and with the tubs, the creams can dry out over time (still usable, but on their way to croap texture). Also, the tubes are more medicine cabinet friendly thanks to their slim vertical design.

Plus, it is very easy to place that dab of cream onto the top of the brush and start lathering away.

taichungman's Entry to the Hall of Fame

need help with buying my first straight razor and accessories, but overwhelmed

hello everyone,

I have been wet shaving for almost a year with my DE razor and I love it. I am feel I am ready to take the next step and buy my first straight razor. I am sorry that this is probably the 1 millionth post like this but the more research I do, the more I am overwhelmed. I have checked other posts and I have not found one that completely relates to what I am looking for. I live in Canada so its hard to find many other Canadian sites other than fendrihan, classicedge, and menessentials as the exchange rate for the Canadian dollar is terrible right now, but I wouldnt mind buying from an American site if it was a good deal. My max is 200 or so and I would prefer a kit. in terms of brand I am a big fan of TI, but I know they can be very pricey so others brands like Dovo would work as well if it is a good quality and price. Sorry for rambling, but what I am looking for is advise on good sites to go to, good blades to start with, and good quality strops. I know this is very subjective, but all advise is welcomed and the more specific the items and advise, the better, I find, it helps me.

Thank you all for listening
