Good evening, gents. I just joined B&B (moved from another forum), and I wanted to introduce myself. I'm Matt from Houston.
I started wetshaving in college with a cheapo boar brush, Williams Mug Soap and a Mach3. I used an electric for a while, and got re-bitten by the wetshaving bug about two years ago. My kit (most-often used is starred):
Razors: '58 SuperSpeed, long-handle Merkur, Merkur HD*, ball-end Tech, fat-handle Tech, Bic Sensitive, Bic Metal
Brushes: Waterford best badger*, Crabtree & Evelyn pure badger
And of course a couple dozen brands of blades and creams, and all manner of cheap aftershave splashes.
I look forward to chatting with y'all.

Welcome, Matt. I'm curious about the Waterford brush. Do you have any pics that you can post here or in the brush forum?
