Been shaving DE for years. Have also tried straight razors a few times but never had a decent strop/stone and as a result never got a good edge but may go back and try again now that I can afford to buy quality.
Just ordered a bunch of soaps from Honeybear Sue - I've been using basic commercial soaps for years and occasionally a soap from Burts Bees or some other purveyor - whatever I could find locally.
Anyway, stumbled on this forum and decided to say hello. Look forward to hanging with you all. Seems a friendly enough bunch.

Welcome Shawn!
You are going to love those HBS soaps! which ones did you get?
-
Lurch -- You'll really like the HoneyBee soaps. They lather up very well, and have nice cushion and slickness. I've been shaving 40 years, and really didn't learn to shave untill I came here a couple of months ago. This site has lots to read and lots to try, and the folks are friendly. Enjoy, and welcome aboard.

I can't keep them straight - MamaBear Sue is the one I ordered from, at Bear Haven. Anyway, I ordered a bunch of "flavors" including dragons blood, rose, lavendar, and several others.

Too many Sues for me to keep straight but the reviews here were positive so I figured I give it a try. I still think Bay Rum is probably my favorite but we'll see...[COLOR="RoyalBlue"]Shawn

[SIZE="1"]Ah... You can't beat the cold steel and the badger. All this electrical rubbish, little wheels spinning around all over the place for callow youths and peach fluff, Not for a man's beard. Razor blades for men! I think we'll have this on number 9. If you're going to have a shave have a close one!
