Hello,
I've just signed up after some lengthy perusing of the newbie and help threads. What a great resource!
I wanted to make the move from a cartridge razor subscription to DE shaving to be more environmentally friendly and just because I fancied the look of it: the ritual and all; lathering up etc.
I put this list on my Xmas list (https://www.independent.co.uk/extra...ens-grooming/best-safety-razors-10111508.html) and hoped for any except the one with the bamboo handle.
Anyway my mother in law got me the one with the bamboo handle... and I started DE shaving on Christmas Day and, naturally, got loads of nicks and looked like a right wally at Christmas dinner!
So I've now got a Bodyshop synthetic brush, some Wilkinson sword shaving soap and a couple of packs of Astra blades, and am gradually honing my technique, with the help of various videos and threads. I'm pleased to say I've seen a big drop off in the number of nicks too!
Out of interest, is that list from the Independent any good?
Cheers!
Pete
