New player here. Rejected the 3blade systems years ago and have been using 2 blade cartridge for a while (sans 'goup'). My brother got my a nice starter badger brush for x-mas along with some Col Conk soap. Needless to say, I thought it was awesome but had no idea where to start. Ran into this board -> mantic59 and mokujingris1 on youtube -> wet shave convert.
From the vids and numerous/emphatic suggestions on this board. I just ordered my first DE Merkur...
...unto the breach dear friends...

Welcome to B&B. Did you get a variety pack of blades to sample with your new Merkur?

Welcome to B&B Patrick. Start your journey on the right foot by not using a Merkur blade in your Merkur razor. Any other blade will do.
