Hi all, recently got into this due to Amazon... I got myself a Jagen David B40 along with 100 Astra Superior Platinum Double Edge Safety Razor Blades and Arko Shaving Cream Soap Stick.
I was unaware going in so didn't get a brush, looking at a synthetic (the RazoRock "CHROME" Silvertip Plissoft Synthetic Shaving Brush) at the minute as I read on here Synths are good. Will start using a cereal bowl before I get anything special for lathering.
Ive had 2 goes at shaving, havent cut myself but have taken the top layer of dead skin off (and some not so dead I think) only noticed a day later. I'm also using Shaveology Advanced 2-In-1 Anti-Aging After Shave Balm and that seems very good.
Ive done this before with torches...buying on Amazon based on reviews, getting more interested, then finding candlepowerforums... So I know already I am doing things wrong, but also I'm doing things wrong I think I'm doing right.
Where I suspect I'm wrong, using shaving foam from a pressurised can, as I don't have a brush yet. Is this like using the wrong kind of knife, I can get away with it, or is it like using another plate to cut my food?
Also would love advice and info on what I have so far, the B40, the razorblades, the arko soap, the Brush.
Before I tried I did watch a few videos on YT.
Also the forum should realy use https!!!
Also thankyou for your help
