Hello from Greece!

[tsipir]

Hi there!
I thought I'd pop in and say hello...
I am totally new to traditional wet shaving. I just ordered a bunch of shaving stuff online and can't wait to receive it... hopefully next week.
I bought a Muhle R89 safety razor;
4 different types of DE blades to try out and compare;
a Shavemac brush in "Finest" badger hair;
a Feather Artist Club RG with Teakwood handle;
and a Muhle stoneware shaving bowl.

Oh, yesterday I received the Martin de Candre shaving soap from France.

I'll be checking in once I've shaved a few times to comment on the material.

Enjoy the shaves, and welcome to the room!

Hi and welcome to TSR tsipir! Nice line up, very wise to go for the high end directly, you won´t have to do big sales later = hence saving money allready ... :lol:

 

[Canuck]

I like the look of a few of those bits, nice selection. They will not be the last!

Welcome to TSR.

Hi tsipir. Welcome.

 

[tsipir]

Thank you all for the replies!

Mikael,
That's was my thinking as well. Buying better material from the beginning will increase the likelyhood of having a better experience and therefore not risk giving up too soon due to poor performance!

Well said. Welcome to the forum.

Hi & very welcome Tsipir, nice razor you've picked to start off with, it's one which should grow with you for quite a long time. I've never used the MdC soap, but it gets rave reviews from many of the guys on here. So, enjoy..........

Great line up to start with. It won't stop there if we have anything to do with it.

I do hope the MdC soap turns out to be fantastic! It's a relatively very expensive soap but as I shave twice a week only, it should last me 2-3 years. Looking at it that way, the cost per year is still very reasonable!
