Hiya,
Just thought I would introduce myself since I have finally registered after spending many hours this last week reading all your advice.
Basically I have been using cartridges (mach3, fusion W/Sword whatevers since I started shaving some 20ish years ago. was out shopping last week needing some new blades and actually realised how expensive they are getting, at this point my old man suggested a double edge, I asked what he was talking about he just said google it :shock: I did, found a few forums in the us that were great and finally found you guys and have been lurking and reading since.
I never realised how in depth shaving could be and I hate the grind of shaving. But after reading so many people saying they actually enjoy the experience of DE shaving I thought I would give it a try.
Havent even looked into the 'extras' like soap, brush or even technique, but have descided on a vintage tech from flea bay (watching a couple) or a new Edwin Jagger from Amazon (proberly the EJ cos the wife can buy it for me as a prezzie)
Anyway enough waffle from me for now but if you feel there are some stand out topics I really should read please let me know - going to start on soaps next
Regards
Alan
