I found this site *after* being convinced to try wet shaving. I used to shave electric (my friend who recommended wet shaving almost passed out upon hearing those words) with the occasional Edge/razor combo.
I suffered from ingrown hairs, burn, rash, the works. I was directed to the Local AoS to pick myself up a starter set. After a week, I have seen huge improvements in the ingrown hairs, and virtually eliminated the rash and burn. I'm sold!
I got myself a AoS pure badger brush and the cream from AoS (again, prior to coming here, so I didn't really realize I had options).
I'm having a lot of trouble holding a lather with the new brush - is this a "break in" period? Do I need to use more/less water with a higher quality brush (I was using the AoS "starter" brush, which works significantly better than the full sized Pure Badger right now)?
So far, this site has opened up a whole world that I didn't know existed! I can already start to feel the addictiveness of the sahving process. I'm glad to know I am not alone.
Thanks!
