Gents, if I'm offensive, then I apologize, but I just have to say "Maybe I'm Amazed...". I'll admit, I've been absent for a bit, but yes, I'm amazed at members who are trying to save a penny or two when it comes to razor blades, shaving cream, shaving soap, razors, etc. Think about it. When it comes to shaving, we are talking about your FACE. So if a blade is 12 cents or 15 cents, what does it matter? I've not been an active participant for the past few months, but I've been watching from afar. And what I see startles me. First and foremost...shaving is common sense. Do some research, drop a blade in a razor, and shave! I started with a $5 dollar brush and a $1.00 shaving soap. And a used Merkur HD. It doesn't matter what you start with, just start and learn to master the tools you have on hand. I had a Surrey brush and a puck of Williams shaving soap. And I got the best and most enjoyable shave of my life! SO...remember a couple of things. You don't have to start with a $100 or $200 dollar shaving kit. Start with what you have on hand and learn. Pay attention to your lather and the quality of your shave. Shaving is a personal preference. You like what you like. I laugh when I see someone ask if they will like T&H 1805. That's like me asking if I will like mustard? Who knows? I like shaving with my $150 Shavemac, Coates Shaving Cream and Merkur razor. And I like shaving with my Williams Shaving Soap, Surrey Brush and Merkur HD. Remember one thing. You don't have to invest a fortune to enjoy wet shaving. You just have to find what works for you.
