Hey guys. I am fairly new to the world of using a safety razor. I have been using a Lord L6 for about 5 months now with Feather and Gillette 7-0 clock (green box) razors. Originally, I intended on getting a brush and shaving soap/cream, however, I received a can of C.O. Bigelow shaving foam for Christmas. Being one not to waste, I have been using my safety razor with this foam. Honestly, it hasn't been bad and I like the feel of the eucalyptus in the foam. Today, I ordered a brush and Razorock "Brain freeze" shaving soap. Eventually, I would like to upgrade my razor even though the Lord L6 seems to be doing okay. Luckily, I have liked both of the blades I have been using. Anyway, just wanted to drop in and say hello to everyone. Any recommendations on razors, creams/soaps, etc are welcome!

Welcome to the club. Glad to have you aboard.
Hello and welcome to B&B. This is a great forum full of friendly, helpful shavers. You'll learn a lot here.
Welcome to B&B. I have the Edwin Jagger 89 and I like it quite a bit. I use a brush and C.O. Bigelow shaving cream and it is very good although I am using quite a few different ones in my rotation as many others do. A brush can be gotten very cheaply and a lathering bowl can be "anything" as many here find a cheap small salad bowl adequate. "Say Cheap". Anyway, smooth shaves and enjoy your journey!
Welcome to the Forum. If you're looking for recommendations you came to the right place.

Keep us updated on your brush delivery. The Ed jagger is a good starters razor as suggested.

Got the brush, Razorock soap, and EJ DE89 Barley that came with 5 Derby blades. I also picked up a VDH shave kit just to have. First shave was pretty good. I will say I enjoyed it more than the shaves I have been getting with the L6 Lord. Happy with my purchase. I will be experimenting with blades. Derby wasn't bad but I think I will like the Feathers and 7'Oclocks better in the DE89. I will likely pick a few from tray blade.com.
Welcome to B&B. I started with the VDH kit. It is great. I have liked the Astra SP blades lately.
