Hallo allemaal! Hiyall! Just joined after lurking a bit. I have enherited.... (more like stolen) the Gillette Slim adjustable from my old man. As he stopped using it I thought it was time for me to see what that little stylish bit of kit was all about. That was a long time ago and I'm glad I did....

Hi everyone! I'm from Bern in Switzerland and a B&B noob. I've been wet shaving with straight razors and DE razors for about a year now. Before I started out, I used a Gillette Mach 3 for almost ten years but never really enjoyed shaving with it. Anyway, I had always wanted to go to a barber...

I was given a Merkur Classic razor as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago by a co-worker who had investigated wet-shaving as an alternative to cartridge shaving. I had shared my frustrations about the high cost of blades, frustrations with them keeping sharpness and overall drudgery of shaving....

New to DE shaving, well duh..... guess that's why I'm a newbie! I shave most of my face, and my head... hey wife likes it! I use a Parker 99, which was cheap to get started with but way too mild. So I got a Fatboy which does rock, I guess.... said I was new to this. Want another razor, but am...

Hi guys I hope my posts aren't repeats of posts past, but I am such a newbie I haven't taken the time to learn how to research the forum archives. My question for the seasoned wet shavers is what number on my new Gillette fatboy will give me a shave similar to that of a Merkur 34c versus a more...

I just got my DE89L and so far I am enjoying the manly feeling that comes with shaving with a single blade, metal razor and no plastic in sight. My question to all of the veterans is: What should the proper blade angle feel like? I understand the concept of blade angle, and I know how the...

New guy with questions
Thread Starter: ClintOI recently decided to take more time into my appearance as I'm finally realizing I won't have a baby face forever. I feel like I just looked in the mirror the other day and noticed cavernous pores on my cheeks and terrible razor burn on my neck. Probably a gross exaggeration but eh. So I...
