Hello!

Hello B&B!

I'm Anthony, I've been lurking around for a while and finally decided to join. I've just recently started my wet shave endeavors, I only have a cheap Van Der Hagen set right now. I'm planning on buying a Merkur 34c HD as my first DE soon. Hopefully I'll be adding a new Edwin Jagger BBB and possibly a new soap puck. I don't want to change the soap too fast, though.

I'm getting the hang of lathering right now and still relying on my old Gillette cartridge. After reading through the newbie guides I think I'll stick to the current soap I'm using until I get both the shaving with the DE and the lathering down pat. Then I'll change it up.

As for me, I'm an intelligence analyst in the Air Force currently in Qatar, but normally based out of Ft. Bragg, NC.

I hope to learn a lot from everyone and get a better shave. Considering it's something I have to do everyday, I may as well enjoy it!

Hello Anthony, welcome to B&B!

The 34C is a very nice razor.

Welcome to the B & B forum Anthony!

Welcome to the club, Anthony. Glad to have you aboard. I was in Air Intelligence, too, but more years ago than I care to think. Be sure to join the Active Duty Members Check-in and the Foxhole Shavers Club in the Clubs and Brotherhoods section of the ShaveWiki.

Welcome to B&B. I'm pretty new but have already learned a ton here, and I'm sure you will as well.

Thank you for your service. On days like today, we should all remember those that serve, especially those that aren't able to eat, drink and be merry with their loved ones.

Welcome and thank you for your service!

Welcome to Badger & Blade!

Welcome to the forum, Anthony !!

Hey, everyone!

Thank you for the warm welcome and the well wishes for my current situation. I appreciate that.

I'll take the advice on the soaps if I continue to have issues, I think right now its just experimenting with how much water to use and how much soap to load in the brush. Some days it's a good lather, others not so much.

I'll keep experimenting and working with it, hopefully my collection can expand a bit once I'm back home.

Thanks, again everyone!
