Hi Everyone!
I've gotten two DE shaves under my belt with my Edwin Jagger DE89. The first shave was a little rough because I got a little cocky and forgot to go slow and use no pressure so I had a pretty good case of razor burn. This second shave wasn't perfect, but man it sure felt nice. I have a little bleeding but NO skin irritation. I'm very excited about the future. Thank you all for the helpful information shared on this site! I'm also looking to make a couple posts on the Dark Leaf board with me being a pipe and cigar enthusiast.

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 yes,...this Forum has the knowledge, ideas, and all around 'know-how' to assist in your Wet-Shaving experience. In a nut-shell...your 'gonna' love it here.
Q. What brand of blades are you working with?
If you've not already got one, I suggest investing in a Razor Blade Sampler to see what blade would be a good fit (mild, moderate & aggressive, ect...), for your face and Razor plus the Thread entitled Wet Shaving Instructions & Tutorials! maybe of great interest to you and is very informative.
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.

For those of you who asked what brush, blade, and soap I'm using... I went a little EJ crazy buying Sandalwood Shave set. The Blades are Derby, and I have an order set up on Amazon w/ a mix pack of blades and three new shaving soaps!

Welcome 2 B&B! The EJ is an awesome tool. Ditch the Debys ASAP.
See you in the Dark Leaf. I am recently back into pipe smoking myself.Last edited by Artistik; 02-02-2012 at 04:28 AM.
