Hello, my name is Gordon and I am a recent convert to DE shaving after being a cartridge user for most of my adult life - except for a brief flirtation with electric razors (they gave the worst skin irritation I've ever experienced!).
I became really annoyed by the price of cartridges and thought I might save some money by using a DE razor. I've now got a Merkur 38 with a black handle and an EJ89L, two bristle and one badger brush and 4 different brands of razor blade though I prefer Feathers at present. I think, as so many others have found, that saving money is unlikey given the start I have made.
Anyway, great forum and I've really enjoyed reading posts on here and will continue to do so. Might even have something worth contributing at some point...
Cheers fellas.
