Introduced myself on the Newbie forum but since I am a head shaver, thought I would introduce myself here as well. First ever safety razor shave this morning. Used my new old Gillette Tech with a Shark blade and Proraso cream. Not a very close shave, especially on my head (went against the grain as I always have). But no cuts! I have read (mostly on here )that the Tech is kind of a mild razor, but I want to get the hang of it for a while first. I have some Personna Israeli blades that I might try out tomorrow. Happy shaving.
A warm welcome to you from North Texas. You might want to take a look at some of the references contained in my signature line below for discussions of the 30 Day systems and more on hardware. With that being said ... Welcome to the Den. We know you'll fit right in. So grab yourself a comfy chair, and give our threads a spin! Burma Shave
