Hi everyone.
At the age of 49, I had my first ever DE shave 3 days ago, after a lifetime of multi-blade scraping.
A mate on another forum, nothing to do with shaving, very kindly gifted me a Merkur 23C and a pack of Gillette Blues. So, armed with my new toy and the bare minimum of advice (don't apply any pressure, let the weight of the razor do the work, take your time) away I went...
I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised to be completey uninjured and I actually enjoyed the process, taking my time over it sort of turned a chore into a luxury, even just using my current Nivea gel...
Soooooo, the gathering of foo is underway, Taylors of Bond St Sandalwood soap on it's way, looking at various other potions and accoutrements and my brother is going to turn me a up a bowl and brush handle out of something interesting for Christmas.
I've already noticed an old friend of mine is a member here, Hi @Satanfriendly, and the place seems to have a nice welcoming vibe, so I've decided to stick around for a bit...
