I just wanted to say "Thanks" to all you guys for all the great tips/tricks, and great advice I received over the past 4 months. And,..this is my 50th post!!

After my electric shaver died in March I decided to give the whole wetshave a try again. Back then, I only had a cheap Bic disposable, and a can of Nivea shave cream. I had not so good results. Then I stumbled upon videos from Geofatboy & Mantic. WHOA!! I had now idea about multiple passes?!?!?! From there, I was hooked! A few days later my Mum said she still had my dads '61 Fatboy. SCORE! The first shave with that was ok, it was brutal on my neck and chin. Many long nites into the wee hours of the morning were spent reading hundreds of post on B&B and reading nearly every product review. Then the acquisition disorder started,......... You guys are all nuts, and now I am one of them! This past Saturday I drove down to MERZ Apothecary with my dear wife. That was hard to restrain myself, but I gladly walked outta there with what I went there for. A tube of Godrej shave cream. So looking forward to my next few months of DE shaving. I have yet to nail the coveted BBS, though many DFS have been achieved. Thanks again guys, you rock! :001_smile

CHEERS!

I was all excited there was a shaving store in Oak Creek. Not sure I'll make it to Chicago for my AD.

Hey, I'm one closer to 50 now too.

Have you been to Woodman's yet? You can find a smattering of shave gear there.

CHEERS!

50 posts in 4 months? Wow, now I feel like an addict. I have been on here for less than a month and have over 50 posts, what have I gotten myself into?

Welcome to B&B and thank you for making me feel worse than Superchris, only a few short months and almost to the 300 count. Enjoy the fatboy!
