I would like recommendations for a full setup as looking to get into this real shaving experience and rather than ask in each specific forum for items was wondering if full recommendations would be better.
For info i have pretty sensitive skin so would rather spend on plenty of pre shave items than none.
Price is not a problem for all the gear within reason as i'm in this for the time and experience not for saving a few pounds over fusions etc
Also out of interest do any of you have a tray for all your items, the reason i ask is our ensuite is quite small and i rather fancy having the shaving kit i buy on display in the bedroom!
Thanks in advance
Jon

Save time and just buy everything that's been listed. You'll end up doing that anyway -weep- help me make it stop...jontymo said:Just need to work my way through what you have all advised, i will post on here when decision made and hopefully get my orders in by weekend.

I found myself in the same situation as you fairly recently (I've had my gear for around 4 months now, having treated myself before Christmas). My friend recommended I went to Carter and Bond in West London, so I did. They had such a wide range of brushes and razors available, as well as creams and treatments. Not only this, the shop assistant went out of his way to help me and was really knowledgable about the products on offer. I see you're in Huddersfield so perhaps a bit far for you to travel, but might be worth phoning them? They have a website too - <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.carterandbond.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;">http://www.carterandbond.com</a><!-- m -->
Good luck!
moodymick said:OK my 2 pence, all the advice / suggestions above are completely valid, though as you can see, there are plenty of variations so i will personally recommend no products. None at all! My advice will be this, as you stated that money is not really an issue, don't fall into the trap that the more you spend on an item the better it will necessarily be for you. So start cheap, get gear second hand, vintage, PIFs, decants etc.... Better to start low then spend upwards later - than start high and realise you've been suckered!
Of course, the above could be a load of bollocks, but then again.........
