There are good and bad things about this forum.
Two years of DE shaving has seen me learn an awful lot from more experienced folk. Whilst I appreciate that, you're all a bunch of pr*&ks for passing on so much product related information to the point that I had 10 DE and SE razors, and more soap than I could need.
I now know what I like in the DE world, and am thinning the stock down to a 37c, a 40's super speed and a Gillette tech - enough for me and something to hand down to my two lads when they start shaving. After buying soaps left right and centre, I would be happy to use up stocks until I had a few OSP, a palmolive stick and a Wilko blue stick, as I find these do the job brilliantly.
But in through the out door has come this straight below. It's come from @Fergiebilly and should arrive any day. It's great to be able to buy with confidence via the connections and endorsements that this site enables. @Fergiebilly also pointed me in the direction of a good source for a strop paddle, and that's enroute as well.
So, I'm off on the learning curve again. Shouldn't take long - just 100+ shaves should do it. I fancy that a straight and a strop should reduce future expenditure to near zero, but I gather once you've broken your duck and bought a straight, you've just found a new rabbit hole to fall into....
