Hey, new here, I have been doing a ton of research, and will be starting my wet shaving journey soon. Too late for first gear recommendations, as my wife is buying everything for me for Christmas, though I have some strong suspicions as to some of the products. I have watched a ton of videos and read a lot, but feel free to leave any tips for when I finally get started

PS: I think she got me a Viking's Blade adjustable razor, I know she got me a tub of Zingari Man Navigator, I don't know about the brush other than I anticipate it will be synthetic

I shaved a fortune
Welcome to the B&B community. When I started wet shaving back in February of 2022, I had a beard as well.... A Covid beard, we called them. I trimmed it off with my fine blade set hair clippers as well. It did take a few shaves for my face to get used to shaving again. I had blood weepers in quite a few places for those first couple shaves. But after just a couple weeks, all was well.

If you are interested, you can read the journals posted here:

Very nice introduction and welcome to B&B! The home of the smoothest bunch of folks on the internet (yes I did not forget about you @FarmerTan). Looks like you have a bit of a head start there. Very nice of the lady to get you started down to wet shaving land. Just to forewarn you that I have heard there are a bunch of enabler here as well. Keep that information to yourself.

To be fair as far as scented soaps and aftershaves are concerned she might be the enabler, I know I am getting the Zingari Man Navigator because she ended up with a sample of it thrown in with one of her orders and fell in love with the scent, she is very big into scents in general so I imagine I will have no issue talking her into a few more soaps/creams as long as she likes how they smell

You are lucky to have an enabler! I have an unabler! :sad:

Well I will only be getting that for scents she likes, I did order the sample pack of the Razor Emporium house brand shave soaps to see if any of those catch her nose as it were, I also will be trying to figure out what the best Creed Aventus inspired shave soap/cream is because she loves that scent (even if it is out of my price range right now) and I know several shaving brands have copies of it
