Hi all! Just checking in from Missouri. I am a new wetshaver having just rediscovered it because I was just getting sick of paying so much for crazy 4 blade cartridges. Anyway I did my first shave just monday using all new stuff. I must say I remembered how in no time not a single nick or weeper! This is the first time I shaved more than twice in a week for at least 20 years! I always fought ingrown hair and razorburn. Im back to shaving this way for good. Anyway heres my start up gear...
Merkur 34c
7oclock yellow and bluebird blades that i got from a variety pack. This also includes feather which i will use next.
inexpensive badger hair brush
proraso menthol soap
proraso stypic gel
alum block
Im going to do some comparison between blades before settling on a favorite. So far had nice shaves with both i tried although it seemed the 7oclock tugged a bit...
until next post happy shaving!
