Hello,
I'm just another new guy checking in. I heard of "wet shaving" from the AoM website and thought I'd look into it. After doing some lite research I decided I wanted to jump on into the water. (no pun intended :thumbup: ) After dropping several hints to my wife about Christmas gifts, she finally got the message for my birthday!
So I now have a new Merkur 38HD Classic Barber Pole Long Safety razor. I picked it out and left about 5 windows up in my browser for my wife to choose one from. Based on the reviews she read, she decided I needed to also get a brush/stand and some shaving soap. So she got me a Colonel Conk Model 129 Super Shave mug. The supplied soap is the "World Famous Glycerine Shave Soap," also from Col. Conk. It's Bayrum - not sure what that means. And she also got me a 100% Pure Badger Bristle Shaving Brush with Rosewood Handle and a stand.
I don't know if this is all good or not but I do know I'm going to have to learn how to use this thing. Thanks for letting me join and I look forward to taking part here.
