Hi Folks,
Now this is the place I've been looking for! It only took about 5 minutes browsing the site to realise I had to register and join the B&B community.
I've been dabbling with grooming for a long time (face scrubs, moisturisers, eye balms, scruffing lotions, etc.) but hadn't delved far into the world of shaving until this Christmas when I asked for a decent badger hair shaving brush. It certainly opened the floodgates - I quickly became the owner of pre-shave oil, shaving cream, alum block and a couple of new aftershave balms.
Like many have said on here, shaving has now become a relaxing, interesting, indulgence that I look forward to. Next stop is the blade reviews to see how to upgrade my ages-old Wilkinson sword razor
I look forward to reading and sharing reviews with you all
Cheers,
Omp
