Hello there. I just joined the forum after doing some lurking so I figured I'd introduce myself. I'm a virgin to the wetshaving world and actually hate shaving but because of a job that is too good to pass up over a beard, I've had to figure out a way to make it enjoyable. I figured why not make it as luxurious as possible?
The reason I've hated shaving thus far is my sensitive skin and my propensity for getting ingrown hairs--which I've read is a good reason to use a single blade (i've been using the 5 blade cyborg razor thing). I ordered a merkur long handle, some muhle soap, a decent badger brush, some derby blades, and just for the hell of it, the hydrolast sample pack (i like the idea of 100%natural product...the "forms" don't really strike my fancy). They all have yet to get here but once they do, I'm sure I'll be back with questions and comments.
Talk to you all soon!
