Shrek

Where do you live?
Morris County New Jersey.

What is your age (or) generation?
25

What are you in the real world?
Firefighter, Emt

What is your favorite shave setup?
am awaiting my first order of creams and brush

GT-16T Violet shaving cream
PR-25 Eucalyptus shaving soap
PR-28 After shave splash
TA-15 Avocado shaving cream
TA-23 Lemon and Lime shaving cream

and the EJ best brush from C&E

looking for a good DE and blade setup as im typing this. wondering If I should by a lather bowl and stand as well.. as for my blade now its the mach ultra 3 works decently i guess but I want to experience what a Man of yester-year had daily.. Sometimes I wish you could still go to any barbershop get a quarter shave and cut.

I listened to my grandfather tell me stories al the time growing up, I just remember his eyes the most, Sparkling and so distant .. lost in his younger days I guess . the best part of this experience, I hope is, the slowing down that comes with shaving this way.

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
Long walks on the beach, moonlight serenades with that speci.... wrong browser window, damn multi-tasking :)

I like to cook, I can boil water almost every time ;) I like to mess around in my veggie herb garden, I eat drink and Make merry.

I volunteer for my town, I'm thinking of picking up a part- time job with Kids.

I like to Watch comedies and Play online. My roommate just got a psp I pinch whenever Hes not looking :)

What else should the members of B&B know about you?
again I like long walks on the beach... :) Not much to say Im your avg Mans man. gets his hands dirty, breaks shit figuring out how it works, and then blame it on the manufacturer that it doesnt work anymore. :)

I have a wonderful Girlfriend. I picked up golfing this summer, I Bowl on a league, and its really late and my brain just fried itself :) feel free to ask me anything though :)

Im always up checking these things

See you soon my B&B brethren

Shawn

Hi Shawn and welcome to B&B.

As far as a razor is concerned you won't go too far wrong with either a Merkur HD or a Murker Classic, both are superb razors. I don't know enough about the plethora of vintage Gillettes to make any kind of recommendation there I'mafraid. Blade selection is quite important and you'd probably be best getting a blade sampler pack from LetterK.

is it just me or does classicshaving.com not work on IE?

I cant for the life of me get that website to open

**Jonnybc** · 07-20-2006, 03:13 AM

It works ok for me following the links I posted above. Here is a link to Lees Razors:

HD = #334
Classic =#23C

**Dispatch** · 07-20-2006, 03:23 AM

Hence the nickname of Shrek I guess?

I'm not as big as you but I do have large hands (Larger than average for my size) and I have both (a classic and a slant #337C which is the same size as an HD) bar and get on well equally with both of them.

well got my first brush from CE i read about a wet animal smell sometimes but i must say this brush is my new best friend and does not have an unpleasant odor. they sent me a 25Ml tube of CE brand lavender hand therapy which while feeling greasy the first 5 minutes now has my hands smelling faintly aromatic and very soft.

now waiting on my qed Cream orders so I can jump in the shower and prep myself for my first Shave
