Beardless

[Yogibear99]

Good evening all,

mum new here and will be having a good look around.
For many years I have had a beard (long before it became trendy). But have recently got fed up of it so it's now gone. But I've found that the kit I have isn't great and very expensive, so I'm thinking of trying something different but as yet I've no idea what.
I've looked at the shave clubs but have read lots saying the blades are rubbish.

anyway I'm hoping to find some gems that will bring some joyto my shave routine.
Yogi.

Welcome to TSR. A simple double edged razor like the Edwin Jagger DE89, some blades like Astras or Gillette Silver Blues, a Yaqi synthetic shaving brush and some of the Superdrug own brand shaving cream would be a good starting point. Then watch a couple of videos and get shaving.

Welcome Boss! The Wilkinson line have a really good price (Boots, Waitrose...)! Not fancy but do the job nicely!

Few places to shop with good price!

Hello and welcome YB P.

Welcome

Welcome. I'm new here as well. A useful post led to me into buying an Omega 49 boar brush for about £8, as this was recommended by various members and I find it very good, even though mine hasn't broken in yet.

Thanks for the link. I'll definitely have a read through.

Greetings.... I've been on here.... A while but not long... I class myself as a newbee still.
I do agree the Wilkinson sword razor is a hood place to start, as is a Yaqi brush.... Soap wise..... Well!!!

Hi Yogi. Welcome to the Forum.

Welcome Yogibear99!
I once was where you are, and now have a rather large collection of great de, se, straights, plus enough de blades to shave with until I am around 230 years old plus so many soaps I dont care when one of my kids takes one for washing with whilst camping. It is a great community and I hope you enjoy your time (and watch your wallet).

 

[Yogibear99]

Thanks for all your replies. I'm going to start with soap and a brush. Practice the lathering technique.
My current cartridge razor is rubbish, I'm sure they have got worse (and more expensive) I shaved the other night, did a couple of passes and it still felt like I had a couple of days stubble, plus my neck felt like I was holding it over a candle.
So I think I definitely wed to work on preparation.
Thanks again for the warm welcome.
YB
