I have lurked for a few days, but think it's about time I said hi and introduced myself.
I discovered this site by accident - I was Googling for 'badger' for a photography assignment and, well, here I am !
My name is Daniel, I am 37 years young and have just realised what my skin has been missing all these years... I have been using various electric shavers and [increasingly expensive] cartridge razors for the past 20 years or so, and never really got involved in the shaving experience. I can already tell that this site is going to result in yet another reason to 'buy stuff' and learn a new skill :blush:
Anyway... I've read through hundreds of posts and watched countless videos over the past few days. I am going to try face lathering first and worry about a bowl later. Never being one for doing things by halves I have just ordered the following :
Merkur 30C (appears to be the same head as the 34C, but the world seems to be out of stock of the HD at the moment)
Vulfix No375 brush
Proraso shave cream
Proraso pre and post shave cream
Sample pack of various blades
Assuming I have a face left by the weekend I will probably be hanging around for a while, so please bear with me for a few weeks whilst I ask lots of stupid questions...
Hi Daniel
Welcome to a whole new world of shaving experiences. Go slow and use light pressure and you will be fine. Loads of great advice on TSR so ask away without hesitation.
Hi & very welcome Daniel. Feel free to badger us all with as many questions as you wish, we'll happily be beavering away at trying to find even vaguely plausible answers.
You find my puns a wee bit strained ? Just wait till you get to PigCat !!!
