Greetings one and two/all,
Am new to the world of DE shaving, have recently purchased a Parker 91R, Pure Badger, T.O.B.S Sandalwood Cream & Soap as well as Feather Blades, Derby Blades, Israeli Personna Blades, Wilkinson Sword Blades as my starting set-up!
After years of being a slave to the Gillette ethos and always wanting a closer shave not getting it from a Fusion but knowing that I could get closer I've dived headlong into the world of DE razors, brushes and creams and am already struggling with a desire to purchase more creams, soaps, aftershaves, balms, etc. etc. - I've always been a bit of a scent junkie and am loving trying to match up soap scents, then an aftershave scent & then favourite aftershaves to smell like the most cock-sure John-Travolta-a-la-Saturday-Night-Fever I can. Oh, and the ridiculosuly close shave isn't bad either , lol. Am still learning my technique with the DE and although I've only cut myself twice in a few shaves, I keep on going too close and breaking the skin, mainly because I get cocky and go against the grain with no lather on my face thinking I'll just 'touch-up' quickly, which ends up with me dragging a harsh blade across my barely lubricated face much to my own misfortune when it breaks the skin and I get lots of nice little blood spots.
Anywho, I'm waffling, if anyone has the time I would greatly appreciate any info. on samples that anyone could give me. I wil be shameless and say if it's free and available I would like it (shaving samples this is.... )so any info. on free samples of creams, soaps, blades, etc. would be awesome & greatly appreciated. Thanks
