Do I need a lot of different products to shave?
No, if you want a simple shave what you need, absolutely, is a good razor, a must, shaving brush and a lathering shaving cream. You get those three tools, you're already in very good shape, because they will give you that close shave. Now if you want that ultimate shave, if you want that easy shave, that's when you add the pre-shave oil, that's when you add the alum block or an aftershave, because those are little tools that will make the difference. There is no magic product or no magic ingredient to give you a close shave with no razor burn, no bumps, no ingrown. What there is, is an association of product, one after the other, and steps. So if you want the ultimate shave, if you want that face that feels like a baby's butt, and you have a very strong beard, then you need all the help you can use, and then you obviously want everything that I told you about.
