Need a little maybe a lot of direction
So I am recently getting back into shaving proper. I used to use a merkur but use a lord l127 pretty much the knock off clone. So my question is now that I have less than half the money I had back then. What are good blades, shave soaps and after shaves? I used to do a lot of old Taylor of bond and did experiment with proraso but not sure I did the right ones. I am curious about Stirlings sheep line and what blade I should use because I have sensitive skin but not super bad (definitely some irritation around the "goatee" area. Was using barbrasol and velva most recently. So a new soap and after shave would help a lot also just changed blades Las go around to Astra platinum which seems to help a bit
