    So I’ve been lurking for a little bit now and finally joined! I started wet shaving about a year ago and have really enjoyed and appreciated the tradition of wet shaving.

    For me I have come to love my Saturday mornings even more, I get up and hop on the bike for a group ride and then head home and shower to run errands. But now I added wet shaving also to my Saturday routine. Something about taking my time and really enjoying the process that relaxes me. Too bad we don’t have that luxury 7 days a week .

    Great to meet everyone and I’m sure you’ll see me around from time to time.

    Welcome aboard! Glad you stepped out from behind the lurkers curtain. I agree wholeheartedly that the ability to take your time and enjoy the process and experience of shaving is great! Our own version of Zen.

    Welcome @Biglou! You have't spilled any details, but I saw you discussing ideas about your next brush. What's your favorite soap / brush / razor / blade/ post shave products these days? I'm predicting lots of vintage gear and time tested software.
    Photos are always welcome ;)

    I’ll have to get some pics for you.

    Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre-Shave Or Lather & Wood Pre-Shave Oil (I love the feel of the oil while shaving but feel it leaves my skin oily even after shaving)

    Soap: Proraso Soft Shave Soap (Green)

    Brush: Unbranded Brush Set. I only have the one and need another

    Razor: I use a Merkur and love it, a little heavy but it allows the weight to take over without worry of pressure.
    Blade: Merkur blade also
    Post Shave: Proraso Post Shave Balm

    My two next ventures are a new Brush and a new bowl. I want a deeper bowl so I can try a couple hard soaps out. I am fairly confident on the Edwin Jagger Bowl.
