Less than a week with DE.

[Cole19]

And I have to say I love it.

Previously I had hated shaving, I had gotten some moderate razor burn with my Schick Quatro Titanium. My fiance and myself are always looking for ways to save money and reduce waste and I saw an article about DE shaving and decided I had to try it. So I went on Ebay and got a Weisha DE razor, Tweezerman brush, Col Conk bay rum soap and wooden bowl.

My first few shaves were a little bit hard, there weren't getting as close as I would have liked. I just started using everyman jack face wash in the shower before I shaved and that was the major difference. Now I can get a BBS shave, with two WTG and one ATG pass. I just yesterday picked up some old spice classic aftershave last night. The burn this morning was good, and the fiance loved the scent, said it reminded her of grandpa.

I am working on aquiring another razor/shaving kit to leave at the locker room, because I am a twice a day shaver, and hauling it all back and forth is a pain.

This site has been a wonderful help and I can't wait to get to know everyone a little bit more.

Thanks,
Cole.

Just bought this kit off of Peto.


Hi gents! I offer you a nice kit, I think mostly for newbies, which contains of:

- British made aluminium Gillette Tech wit ball-end handle. Razor is in a good condition, etching on the head is a little bit worn. Top of the head is made from metal, so it's a nice, head-heavy razor, which makes it very effective.

- Synthetic Body Shop brush, used very little.

- Used puck of Crabtree & Evelyn Sandalwood shaving soap. There is more than 50% left.

- Used tube of Palmolive Classic shaving cream, again, more than 50% left.

- Pack of Feather blades, there are 8 blades left.

What I would like for it is 25$, inc. shipping worldwide. PayPal only. If you find my price inadequate or have any questions, feel free to PM me.

Thank you for looking,

Peter.
