    HI all,

    New here, stumbled across this site while trying to figure out what brush I should buy..... Now I need to figure that out and what cream/soap to use, maybe change my razor, find a stand for the brush....................................... lol

    Started using my Dad's old boar bristle brush with Body Shop macca root shaving cream and found it to be far superior to Edge shaving gel. Now the brush is falling apart and before I have to retire it back to the memory closet, I need to find a new and better brush and maybe a better way to shave.

    Welcome from Flushing! Just so you know, it's possible to have a new knot of hair put into the brush do that you can continue using your dad's brush.
