Newbie check in

[rablat]

Hello all
been reading for a bit though it was time to check in
I am new to this so bear with me.
I have only had my 3rd DE shave as of today.
I am using TF&H ultimate comfort
C&E EJ Best badger Brush
Futur with Merkur blades.
So far so ok, little burn on the neck area with redness acouple of nicks
I "had" 2 moles LOL.
rest of face is smoooooth.
I have some derbys on the way as well as the large sampler from BI.
As well as some mama bears RM soap as well as GFT on the way (this is becoming an expensive habit, goog thing the blades are cheaper than cartridges.)
1 question though what the heck does BBS shave mean?
I have searched and searched I see reference to it but never a meaning.

Welcome! And I think you're going to enjoy this.

A note on the blades: the carbon steel ones are sharp (carbon steel knives can also be made sharper than stainless steel knives), but tend to rust. To prevent that, rinse the razor head in hot water once you finish the shave, give it a couple of good shakes, and then swish the head around in some rubbing alcohol with a high percentage (91% is what I use, found at my local drugstore and quite cheap), and then put the razor in the rack to dry. The rubbing alcohol displaces the water and then evaporates, keeping the blade from rusting.

If you click on the big tab "Wiki" at the top of each B&B page, you will discover a list of acronyms, as well as a FAQ list.
