Hi All,
I have been lurking reading the boards for a while now and thought, as I have just bought my first DE razor, its time to say hello!
I have always used modern cartridge blades as I didn't get on with the only electric shavers I tried (Remmington & Philips). I have never been a daily shaver as I don't enjoy the process and the cartidges are far too expensive for what they are. Recently I have experienced a lot of irritation so I think its about time I went all-in and tried DE razors and see if I can enjoy the whole 'ritual' a bit more.
Not one to mess about, I have done a lot of research and was going to start slowly but unfortunately I spied my Birth Quarter Gillette on eBay
. Here's what I just probably paid way over the odds for:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261315475050?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
I couldn't resist; would I ever find a good birth quarter razor again (especially if I don't become a full-on collector)?
Anyway I can always resell and put any loss down to experience or explain it away as equivalent to the entry price for a couple of rubbish 3D movies with the family!
What do you guys think?
Does that brush look useful? I'm thinking maybe synthetic is a good choice if my skin is now getting prone to irritation.
Cheers from Landan England
