Hadn' t seen a DE since I was a teen. I'm 57 now. My 21 year old nephew got me interested again and I'm really starting to enjoy it. Nothing like a good hot lather in the morning. Picked up a couple of old SS's and a Weishi and am working on getting the hang of it again. So far not too bad. Working my way through the Wally World blades, Feather yellows and Merkurs. Think I need to get an adjustable as I always seem to be one side or the other as far as the shave. Anyway I'm loving the board. Great reading and a lot of good info. Thanks!!!!!!!

Welcome, I'm just a touch older and have recently converted my 22 year old son who has become a traditional shave fanatic.

Welcome to B&B!! A little more time refining your technique will probably help more than anything an adjustable razor will do for you. Enjoy your shaves!

Welcome aboard (and I guess welcome back to DE shaving too!)

Welcome and welcome back. And as for adjustables, they are my favorite. The ability to have on razor that can be as mild or as aggressive as I want makes this a great razor for me.

Welcome to B&B!

Greetings
Vanderveckyn from Atlanta, Georgia!!!
Welcome aboard the B & B (besides being enrolled in the fictional, sacred and utopian Order of Shavedom). Please feel free to come up to the promenade / sun deck & 'sit-a-spell'.
Sounds like your off to a great start and (and me being a 'tad' younger than you...you most likely have a wealth of shaving knowledge & experience to impart!!!), yes,...this Forum has the knowledge, ideas, and alround 'know-how' to assist in your Wet-Shaving experience. In a nut-shell...your 'gonna' love it here.
Although, you may not be additted yet (I think I'm holding up fairly well...with a few exceptions), because we all suffer (gladly and are doomed perhaps), from this shaving complusion (and other Acquisition Disorders), because at times..."Resistance is futile".
"Lead us not into temptation. Just tell us where it is; we'll find it". Sam Levenson
Please don't forget once you get time....to tell us a little about yourself in the Hall of Fame sub-forum.
