Hey folks, I am a traditional wet shaver for about an year now and it has hit me deep, I must say, I have been infected with AD, particularly SBAD. :drool: After more than a good dozen of safety razors, including slants and OCs, my current favorite is Merkur 25C. I am more a fan of hard...

Hey all. I am new to the B&B site. I recently went through a lot of drastic changes to better myself as a man. I found my calling and decided it was time to bring back the classy gentleman. One of my transformations includes changing the way I shave. I have been using everything from overpriced...

Hi, I plan on getting into wetshaving (EJ DE89) but just by looking at the razor it seems like Ill have difficult time shaving under the nose/mustache area. Is this going to be a problem?

I just completed a purchase of this shave cream off of the Italian Barber. It was only $6.99. Get it while it's hot, Gents! I am excited about this cream. Actually more giddy than excited. <laughing> Kirk

Thread Starter: cheesepieceThe day I've long awaited... 5 weeks into my shaving odyssey and after a week long switch to my Gillette red tip SS, prematurely prompted by item of the week, I returned to my Merkur 34C. Today was the day it all went right. Two passes, 1 WG, 1 AG, went by without a hitch. I lathered up with King...
