Hi all. My name's David, and I'm about six months in to the DE safety razor experience after a few years of using Clean Shaven's cartridge services to trim a bit off the exorbitant mainstream prices. To say it's been a revelation is an understatement! I started with the Shave Factory TTO setup, with Arko soap and Derby blades, but it's been a slippery descent already into trying different things out. Numerous sample razor packs have been purchased (Gillette 7'o clock green and Voskhod are faves so far) and I also purchased a Lord L6 to try out. Not sure about that one, but maybe I need to give it more time. I've got Cella Soap on order, Gentleman Facecare Club Sandalwood cream in the cupboard and a couple of others I'm waiting to press "buy" on! It's fair to say I'm not going to save money moving from a cartridge razor, but I will be spending it in a more enjoyable way! Any suggestions on affordable must-buys appreciated.
I've also purchased a couple of vintage Gillettes, which I'll post in another forum as I could do with confirmation of year/model etc. (unless anyone thinks I should attach them to this thread?) They've been cleaned up ready to go, and will be trialed over the Christmas break.
Anyway, looking forward to learning and experiencing more of the wonders of this forum in the near future.
