Greetings to all.
I am very much new to the wonderful world of the DE shaver. Just a little about myself: I am an 11 year active duty member with the US Air Force Security Forces (Two tours Iraq, Three tours Afghanistan). I have tried just about anything to get a close shave without a outbreak of shaving bumps. A good friend of mine recommended DE shaving. So after researching mantic59's blog, I purchased a Merkur Progress, and simple starter badger brush, and a razor sampler. I am addicted to how good my face feels after shaving!! It actually helped REDUCE mty current razor bumps. Shaving has became the true highlight of the morning. Almost a zen-like experience.
Big thanks to the veteran members of the forum for their reviews, and helpful tips. I only hope in the future the things I learn (andI'm learning fast!) will benefit others.
