Hello everyone! Thanks to everyone on this forum - it's a fantastic resource for the new wet-shaver.
I've been using a brush and shaving soaps for about five months, and made the switch to a DE razor (EJ DE89BA11) a couple of months ago. All I can say is WOW! No more ingrown hairs, no more irritation (most of the time anyway), and the closest shave I've ever had. I had previously used all manner of products and razors (electrics, cartridge razors, a dozen different foams and gels, etc.) and nothing even comes close.

I'd go straight to grooming lounge in tysons galleria for a hands on with tons of good products... everything esle, IIRC, pales in comparison bu stock, great if you need it now, but maybe prices not the best. haven't been there in a while...
sounds like we have enough people to have a small get together this summer, if anyone is up for it.--Jon. "Love me some 14s"
