Hi,
I wanted to introduce myself. 38 year old male from Salt Lake City, Utah. (Originally from India).
Always been a wet shaver, but have been using the Gillette twin blade system (Using the Sensor Excel now). I also shave my head (Have been doing that for the last 5 years). I use the shaving brush and soap that you get at Walmart. Not the greatest.
My beard is fairly thick and a few months ago, I started obsessing with getting that baby-butt smooth shaves for my face. The only way to do that is to do multiple pass shaving. So I started doing that going in the direction of the hair on the first pass and then against the direction on the second pass. Some days, it works great and other days, the burn I get is just too bad.
I want to make the leap to the DE shaving system as from all what I have read, that's the way to go. Obviously, I am going to go through a big learning curve to Unlearn all the bad habits shaving with a twin blade system for the past 20 years.
Found this forum this morning and was really impressed with the amount of information available over here. In-fact it is information overload and I am struggling on what to buy. I want to do a complete fresh start and buy a decent quality brush, razor, soap etc.
Any advise from the veteran folks over here will be appreciated.
Regards,
Sunny Khatkhate
