    Hello. Just joined the forum. I live just outside of Bournemouth, England and just starting out in wet shaving after being intrigued for years.

    Have just acquired a 1959 E1 Gillette Fat Boy and I am building up (after alot of research) a fine start in soaps, brush etc.

    Wish me luck!

    Welcome to B&B.

    If you haven't already done so, take a look at this post. It will answer many of your questions.

    Also, take a look at the wikis on this site. The one on lather is particularly helpful.
