Welcome
Cart clogging was the reason I started DE&SE shaving, never to look back. I kept the handle to look at every time I shave and realize anew what a fool I had been.I've little to compare with - but I would guess the lighter side of normal! I.e. not very coarse. At the moment I use a terrible multiblade Gillette thing that clogs instantly. I'm really only shaving upper cheeks (face cheeks, I mean) and neck...

Seems like it's a £50 ish outlay to give it a try, does that seem right? Is there a cheaper way of trying de shaving out?Hello and welcome to TSR @JonC.
Even though you're only shaving the cheeks and neck, I'd still recommend a brush and soap, much kinder to the skin than the canned stuff.
An Omega 11137 or a Semogue 2000 are pretty (Edit) very good cheap boar brushes.
Palmolive shaving stick you can get for 50p at the supermarket or a tub of Proraso is reasonably priced.

That's great thank you.The vintage route.
Wilkinson Sword Classic, or you could order one at Boots for collection for less than a fiver.
I haven't tried an Omega 49 but they're a good brand and about £7 or £8.
So about £13 to as high as you like + 50p for your Palmolive.
A fantastic humble set up, which would keep any traditional wet shaver very happy and give superb shaving results.The vintage route.

You're welcome, I've edited because I didn't think I'd made the vintage option clear.That's great thank you.

Cheers, I think the WS Classic is great introduction. There are some Indian Gillettes which are meant to be pretty good but could take ages to arrive.A fantastic humble set up, which would keep any traditional wet shaver very happy and give superb shaving results.

There are more informed boar enthusiasts on TSR, but from personal experience of Omegas, the 11137 is the best size for me and broke in quickly.Hi again.
Are any of the other Omega brushes any good please?
