Well, I finally did it. I've been trolling this site for about a week now, and ordered my first DE razor a few minutes ago. Thanks to everyone on here for all the advice.
Welcome to B&B!
We are glad you decided to speak up.
Don't be shy about asking questions if you have any.
What DE did you order?
Have you ordered a sample pack of blades yet?
What are your choices for a brush and for soap / cream?
Good luck, and I'm sure you'll be pleased with the shaves you'll be getting.
I ordered a Merkur 34c and an Edwin Jagger medium brush in best badger. Can't wait for them to show up. I've never been so excited about not shaving for a week.
Also ordered a sampler pack of blades from amazon, not exactly sure what blades will actually be included, but looking forward to trying them out.
Welcome to B&B! Have fun trying out the new gear. Just remember to give the blade sampler a second run threw, your technique will be improving so fast that what worked well the first go round might not end up being the best for you.
