I am 23 years old and i began shaving when I was 14, later than my peers. I started out scared to put sharp blades on my face, so for Christmas that year, my parents bought me a Norelco electric shaver. I used it until my facial hair began growing in thicker at 16. Then I bought a Mach 3 and have been using with subpar satisfaction believing that this is as good as shaving gets. I recently discovered the safety razor and immediately decided that, in the near future, I would learn how to use it. My girlfriend surprised me with some pretty cool gear. I got a Merkur HD with a Merkur blade, a badger hair brush and Caswell Massey Sandalwood shave soap along with Leisureguy's Guide to Gourmet Shaving. So, with some study and determination I had a successful first shave. It was more rewarding than I had expected. I am looking forward to learning this art.
