Just discovered B&B a few days ago--after years of having five o'clock shadow the instant I was done shaving, using proper lather and my (soon to be replaced) cartridge razor, I'm finally getting halfway decent shaves. Of course, I've gone way off the deep end with RAD, SBAD, cream and soap AD (to go with my existing Chinese tea, headphone equipment, and cast iron cookware ADs...), but it's incredibly exciting, and even the worst this hobby can do doesn't make my wallet cry as much as some of my other hobbies.
I've got to say, everybody I've met on B&B has been so kind & gracious...I've been putting together a shaving kit off the shaving-mall forum, and everyone I've bought from has been so wonderful about including samples & helping out the newbie. Just wanted to say thanks, and I'm really looking forward to years of excellent shaves & acquisition disorders!
