Hello, all! Checking in here as a new user.
I've been wet shaving for maybe 14 years now. Started with straight razors for a few years before moving to a safety razor. When I made the transition, I bought some kind of high quality milled stainless steel razor from a small company that I think was based in Missouri, although I can't recall the name of the company now. I used that safety razor exclusively for the last decade plus, typically with Dorco Prime blades, Proraso pre shave and Speick shaving cream. Earlier this year I bought an EJ DE89 on an impulse, and was immediately astonished by how much cleaner and more comfortable of a shave I was getting. This got me on a tear lurking here at B&B and buying up a minor (or not too minor) stockpile of different soaps and other products, trying to rebuild my routine from the ground up. By now I've got enough of a stash I figured I've tipped over some kind of line, and better join up officially on the forum.
Looking forward to being here — happy shaves, y'all.
