I am new! Hi there - My name is Bill and I was introduced to wet shaving a few months ago and now I am hooked. I am looking forward to asking questions and possibly helping others with their questions. Of course wining something in the drawing would be great! Thanks! Bill
Hi all - I am living in Japan and have been for almost 20 years now. Just beginning with wet shaving but loving it so far. This is a great site. I mean how awesome is it that I get a chance to win something just for being here. So far looks like there is not much competition so still have a good chance at it. Looking forward to talking with everyone. Please include me in the gift give away chance. Michael Pearce
Hi... Total newbie here. I bought my husband a new Merkur for christmas and ordered myself a blue star lady gillette off ebay (which i'm still waiting for). In the meantime I am using a wilkinson sword DE cheapy (and getting much better shaves than the pink Quattro I was using before). Thanks for the newbie giveaway opportunity... what a great idea. Oh, and in case I have to actually state it - I would love to be entered to win.
Newbie Wow this is a very cool thing, from what I have seen so far as a very well put together forum. Hope To win something Haha.
Hi! I am a newbie here, and would love to be included in your contest give away. Its a very generous offer, and whoever wins will be a lucky shaver indeed.
Hola... newbie to this site, though I've been using a DE for about 6 years. The more I lurk around this site, the more I realize I have a LOT to learn! In my laziness I had reverted to the dreaded canned shaving foam and cheapo blades from Walgreens (which I actually prefer over the Merkurs I started with). But stumbling onto this site earlier today already led me to dig out all my old good stuff (Trumper badger brush; L'Occitane Cade, Trumper Rose, Kiehls, Pre De Provence creams; genuine '50s Old Spice mug) and I already used my introductory coupon for some aftershave and a sampling of new blades. Lookin forward to fully exploring this site... and I'd love to win one of these packages!
Sign Me up Please include me for the newbie drawing. I'm so new to this I'm interested in everything related to wet shaving. I'm especially interested in vintage razors.
I would love to be a part of this giveaway. I think it's really cool that you guys do so many things like this! Thanks!
More great news for this months Newbies! Rene has generously offered up a Weishi in Gunmetal finish with travel case as a third chance prize, the winning name will be drawn in the same fashion as our monthly give-away. :signs107 Thank you again for your generosity Rene! :happy096
What an amazing way to be welcomed to a forum! I am definitely interested in this contest. With the gift of a new Merkur for the holidays, my 30 minutes in the AM while SWMBO sleeps has become increasingly better. I am interested in learning more about this (lost?) art, and other ways I can improve my new skills. As far as other interests, I work in software development and am of course enamored by the field, as well as gadgets of all shapes and sizes. I think being surrounded by so much technology all day is one of the reasons I really enjoy my new wet shave in the morning: A simple, low tech, peaceful, contemplative way to start a day.
Howdy, Just got sick and tired of the price of those Gillette blades. How many more blades can they add and keep charging more and more for? Just received my Merkur in the mail today and am looking forward to trying it out tomorrow a.m. Glad to have found this forum!
Hi all New member here too! I have started wet shaving about 3 weeks ago and since then I am convinced that it is a fast spreading desease (in a good sense of course!). I have never thought before that I would actually be looking forward to shaving every morning, but I trully do now! Would love to win someting and definitely looking forward to learning more and getting to know the community better. Cheers!
I too would like to enter in this drawing as well. My main reason for switching to DE is to try to cut down or eliminate the razor burn that i receive after every shave on my neck. Plus doing something your grandfather and great grandfather did is an added bonus to it. Seems like practicing this lost art as someone said would make you have a closer connection to them as well as the past. I have not yet had a DE shave as my 50s SS is on its way to me now, but i have already learned so much from everyone here at TSD!!!
Second week of real shaving From Atlanta. My brother got me started wet shaving with an old Gillette razor about two weeks ago. Love it. Still getting use to it. Lots of fun!
Just signed up, thanks for the opportunity to win a prize just for joining. This forum interests me. Y'all are as good at forum posting as the wackos on Texags which I frequent often. I am interested in closer shaves, smelling like a real man and sharp blades.
HI, Wow, a chance to win good shaving stuff!!!! I'm not really that talkative, but will try to find 15 questions to ask, worthwhile comments, or a combination of each so I'll be eligable for the contest!!! Dan
