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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
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.
Hello, lots of experience here, just ask a questions and folks will help to their best ability. You might at times get a avalanche of responses.
Welcome again @Biglou! You know, you could always shave in the evenings and have a nice leisurely shave.
Welcome Biglou to TSD. I too am a relative newbie. I hope you you really enjoy the community as much as I do.
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. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
