Hello!
Happy to join your community to discover how is the passion on the other side of the ocean
I’m relatively new to this wet shaving world even if I’m 55.
After standard Gillette G2/Mach 3 when I was young, I tried electric shaving these last 3 years and this was terrible for my skin.
So 6 months ago, I tried DE razors.
Starting with a Merkur Futur and bad skin preparation… so it was just okay, but too agressive for a beginner, I had to focus too much. Also I found it to be very blade dependent
Then the Rockwell 2C R3+shims, then R4 then Tatara world and also I bought decent shaving soaps!!!
My favorite Tatara combination Masamune Cap and Nodachi SB for daily or 2 days growth and to gain efficiency Nodachi Cap and Masamune OC. Full Nodachi is really when I have time, a little too much for my sensitive skin.
Then… I discovered the Overlander brass, my daily driver. I love it, I can use almost every blades, I know it will do the job smoothly.
I would light a new razor for Christmas, but what could be an upgrade to the Overlander ?
I will jump in the Overlander discussion to find out.
Warm regards,
Arnaud
