afternoon everyone.
Just getting into DE after growing a beard for a couple of years then having to shave to wear a face mask at work.
I have that great combination of sensitive skin and a tough beard.
Read some threads on here first, started out with an EJ DE89L. Picked up a bunch of blades from Connaught as well as a few soap samples of Vitos vegetale, Lavanda and 3P. I rustled up an old Cussons brush which works well.
I needed a fair few passes with the closed comb EJ so moved to a Merkur 41C, replacing the short handle with the DE89L handle. Better shave, less passes but need a more ergonomic handle. I've picked up an EJ R367CRSR for that reason.
I'm thinking about a slant head or a Progress?
Cheers!
