    'Morning all.
    Been wanting to get a better shave for years now. I'm in the US Army (10 years this week), so obviously a close shave is pretty important.
    I grew up using a brush and mug of soap, since that's what my dad used, but always wanted to get away from cartridges and go to something better. So, after reading stuff here and other places online, I picked up a Ever-Ready 1912 SE on ebay for $15. Here goes nothing!

    Hey SJ! Thank you for your service to our country! Welcome aboard. Lots of good advice on products and techniques here. Beware of the razor, blade, brish, soap/cream, and accessory addiction disorders that are so prevalent. Hoorah!
