Hello to you all.
A newbie here and would like some advice. I have been using a brush for a while with disposable razors but have now become feed up with the rip off prices, so while surfing net for better options I discovered this site, which has been a whole education. Thank you all
I have for the last few weeks been teaching myself to shave again with a cheap DE Wilkinson razor from boots. Although I was a bit shaky at first and had a few nicks, I’m now more confident and getting a close shave.
The brush I use is a Men-U boar hair, I think, plus I also use the Men-U shaving cream. This seemed to be ok while using my old disposable but now that I need a good lather, I find it doesn’t give me enough. Especially now I’m starting to do two passes.
So my questions are, would I be better of with a better badger hair brush. Should I change my shaving cream, although I would like something with a similar smell, as I like the fresh menthol feel.
I’m also going to treat myself to a Merkur 34C HD next pay day after reading some of the reviews on here. Do you think this is a good idea.
Many thanks for all advice.
Steve
