Ashe's Entry into the B&B Hall of Fame

**Ashe** · 07-26-2006, 01:03 AM

Please allow me to introduce myself:

Username:
Ashe

What is your real name?
Benjamin Teugels

What are your nicknames/aliases?
Ashe

Where do you live?
Grimbergen, Belgium

What is your age (or) generation?
28

What are you in the real world?
Team leader of a group of network security analysts

What is your favorite shave setup?
Well, I don't have a real setup yet. I At this time I'm using (dont laugh):
- Gillette Mach 3
- Omega boar hair brush
- Gillette gel
- Keramic boil to lather up the Gillette gel with a little bit of hot water instead of doing it on my face directly
- Blue blood gel for after the shave (general face cream)

My next shave setup would approx be:
- Merkur HD
- Vulfix or C&E badger brush
- Proraso shaving cream for sensitive skin
- Trumpers Skin Food
- Don't known which aftershave yet

I'm still further reading on the subject but I want to buy the above proposed setup within the next month or so. Problem is that I will have to order them from the Netherlands or the UK in order to get everything I want. Seems that here in Belgium these things are very hard to find.

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?
I tend to read as much as I can when time permits. Even though my native language is Dutch I prefer reading books in English.

I'm passionate about network security so I try to stay up-to-date as much as I can and this has been the case for at least the past 10 years.

I also go to the gym 3 times per week, staying healthy. :-)

What else should the members of B&B know about you?
I've been googling for improving my shaving quality and ended up on ClassicShaving.com. I was immediately interested in a Merkur DE razor and the whole concept of Wet Shaving. I then continued googling and ended up on Wikipedia which linked to this site for one of their keywords so I started reading this forum. There's a wealth of information on this site so I decided to join up and get more involved in the forums.

You really need to sort this out quickly!

Welcome to B&B good to have you on board.

I know! :-) I was doubting whether I would mention my current setup but I decided to go for it, you can only cure yourself if you come out in the open without hiding your past!
If I can't find a store in Belgium which is able to provide me with what I need I will need to order it from the Netherlands or from the UK. I might as well go back to London for a few days and get my stuff from there directly!

Thanks for the welcome btw. :-)

Really? I find a DE razor (not the slant) is superb for sideburns, I don't have a goatee!

No relations here as far as I know :-) This can obviously change (you never know)!
