Hey everyone,
Just writing to say hello to everyone here. I'm new. I've been reading some comments here on and off for a while and I thought I'd join in with the fun.
After reading peoples posts on here (and watching mantic59's shaving videos on youtube hehe), it persuaded me to take up shaving with a double edge razor and using shaving cream and a brush. I must say it's quite exciting for me.
Yes, I know some people might say "It's just shaving". Fair enough. But since using this bit of kit I'm actually starting to enjoy shaving. It doesn't feel like a chore anymore. It feels more like an achievment. particularly, after I've finished shaving to find that I HAVEN'T cut myself! Well, that's a bit of a lie. I have cut myself a few times. But I'm still getting used to using a double edge razor more slower and I'm working out how much pressure to use on my skin. I used to be a bit heavy handed and speedy when using a cartridge razor.
I'm trying out shaving creams that come in a tube and soaps that come in a bowl, and working out which type I like and works best for me.
Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks,
Dylan
