Hi everybody
Been reading this site for a bit now so thought I'd say hello. I've been DE shaving for around 2 an a bit years now and with a shavettte on and off for just under a year. I resented either paying through the nose for replacement cartridges or get a really crappy shave with a cheap throwaway and the cartridges gave me razor burn as well, till I came across some double edge blades at the supermarket an realised how cheap they were in comparison an came across article about traditional wet shaving on the net. :idea:
I would love to shave with a proper straight but at present theres no way I can justify the expense for something that I could so easily damage and I won't have time to use most mornings before work.
Current gear
Razors: Wilkinson sword classic, Boots DE razor, cheapo no name shavette (great shaver though).
Blades: Wilkinson Sword, Treet (carbon steel) and Boots own brand DE blades.
Brushes: Edwin Jagger Best Badger, Wilkinson bristle, body shop synthetic
Cream: TOBS The Shaving Shop
A/S Balm: Boots Botanics A/S Balm
