I still feel like I have barely scratched the tip of still not knowing anything. lol. I read through all of the info and links in the
Sticky: WET SHAVING INSTRUCTIONS AND TUTORIAL'S:New? READ THIS THREAD!
Also read through a ton of the other threads in sections about different soaps, brushes, etc. My brain is about to pop.
I was on the phone with my father earlier today and told him that I was researching wet shaving and he said, "I've got a really nice old safety razor if you want it." No idea what kind it is yet so we'll see. So that's covered. It looks like if I get an Edwin Jagger Best Badger brush, some Col. Conk and a mug, and some Olivia's, maybe I'll be ready to give it a go. Does that sound reasonable to everyone else.
Originally, I was going to jump right in to trying with a straight razor, but I think I might just concentrate on getting the prep and technique of everything other than the shaving down first.
I'll be the first to admit that I'm not the best person in the world at retaining information I read. I learn a lot more through seeing how something is done and trial and error. So, if anyone has any other suggestions that are specific, that they think I should try out, please feel free to chime in. While I don't want to break the bank in the beginning, I'm certainly willing to spend a little money to start out right.
Thanks guys. Great site by the way. TONS of information here.
