My wife surprised me this X-mas with a Parker 96R. I have never used a DE before, but now I am hooked! I can't believe I made it this long with the cartridge models, I was missing out.
The store she bought it at recommended Feather blades, so she got me a pack. I have been shaving every day since, and (knock on wood) haven't nicked myself yet.
I was a little scared going into it, but found that I picked up the angle pretty quick, and was able to do a decent job on the first shave.
So today I got a cheap brush and several soaps to try out. Does anyone have any recommendations on shaving creams?
And I have been doing great with Feather blades, should I stick to what works? Or is there a better blade out there? I do not have a thick beard, if that has anything to do with it....
It's great to find a website like this one, and I look forward to bugging all of you with plenty of questions...
