Hey everyone!
OK. So. As you may/may not have read in my hall of fame entry, I am here to get my boyfriend sorted with an assortment of manly goodies for his furry face. He is a terrible shaver, is unwilling most of the time and when he does do it (once every three days or something) he does a lousy job because he can't be bothered. He gets sore skin and pimples from his crappy disposables and therefore doesn't like doing it, also I figure if he has some sort of manly regime in the morning he'll feel better about himself and enjoy making an effort. I know that he'd be hesitant from the outset to spend money on himself in this way, therefore I'm getting him an "AMAZING SHAVING KIT FROM YOUR GORGEOUS GIRLFRIEND" for his Christmas present, I figure I start getting it together now as it'll be expensive and I want him to have good products at his disposal!
I'm pretty certain that a Merkur HD is the way to go for the razor, but they seem a little short... is there one with a longer handle? He has BIG hands... haha... and I figured I'd get him a sample pack of razors so he can try some different ones and see what he likes best. As for the brush, I was intrigued by the 2006 B&B badger brush, but I'd say they're long gone? Is there another lovely badger brush which isn't toooooo expensive which would be good? Also I'm really at a loss as far as products and accessories go, I don't know what you need in a typical DE wet-shave set up? A mug? Some sort of soap? Other products? And what to do with all of these mysterious manly objects? I really don't know... Haha, but don't worry, I will be signing him up to this forum on Boxing Day so he'll be able to get help first hand...
Speaking of help though... I was also wondering where to go to get a really good in depth run down on HOW TO SHAVE. Because clearly my boy was neglected by his father and not taught properly.
I realise I am asking a lot as a newB and I guess all of this info is within this wonderful forum, but I really don't know where to start...
Any help and/or advice would be UNIMAGINABLY APPRECIATED!!!
