    Default Checking In

    Hi guys (and gals?) another newbie checking in.

    I'm a 21 year old student living in Birmingham.

    Have been shaving with a DE for just over a year now, following major ingrown hair problems with a Mach 3. Currently using Merkur Vision (awesome 21st birthday present) and trying out various blades from the WCS sampler pack after finding that, for me, Merkur blades were only good for one decent shave. I also have been using Geo F Trumper shave cream up until a recent holiday to Italy where I couldn't resist picking up a tub of Proraso, which I must admit is very good.

    Anyway, looking forwards to participating here.

    Cheers!

    Welcome!! Sounds like you are doing great with your DE. Always cool to see the younger folks getting into wet shaving!

    Prorasso is great!! My Fave for sure. Did you also pick up the prorasso pre-shave? It is awesome as well and really preps the beard nicely.

    Regards,
