So......
My first experience with a d.e. razor was a bloodbath (I was young....pre-shaving young.....and picked up my dad's Gillette). Hopefully the results will be slightly less catastrophic this time around. I should be getting a Mergress in the mail any day now and have my sights set on a Rooney 3/1 (trouble deciding between black and horn). I am currently using L'Occitane shave oil and cream but am interested in the Trumper products and would really like to try a soap. I'm also planning to start out with Derby blades but I get the impression that it really doesn't matter which blade I start out with as no one seems to get it right the first time. Your thoughts, and have I missed anything?
