Hello from Jacksonville, FL! Joined a week or so ago and have been lurking a bit. Have been a $ shave club guy for about 5 years. Have been interested in a Safety Razor for about a year. I finally took the plunge and purchased a Merkur 34C last week for my 17yr old son and I. Purchased a basic brush, stand, mug kit for us as well as a couple of Shave soaps. Have been reading up and watching YouTube etc for a while now. Have really enjoyed the new DE experience so far and my son tried for the first time this evening. I look forward to learning as much as I can and trying out many new things. Thanks for reading! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Welcome to the Shaving Den. The 34C is a fantastic razor, in my opinion. I think your son will really enjoy it. I gave mine to my son and he won't give it up, even after I gave him a Slim. Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
I have a 38c and I love it it's basically the long handle version of the 34c Sent from my XT1609 using Tapatalk
Welcome aboard. I am a straight user and have never tried a Merkur. Sent from my phone using some app
Welcome to the Den from the Great Garden State! Sounds like you're off to a very solid start. You should head over to the 30 Day Rule/Focus thread. It's a great place to refine your technique. Plus it's a great group of guys. MAYhem is just about to end so things will be calmer now that the more adventurous among us have worked out their issues. Dive on in, the water's fine!
Welcome @capsfanx! Glad you joined in. This is your thread right here. If you have any question this is a great place to ask because those answers will be here for you. Otherwise feel free to search around, and join in the fun. There's a Newbie Giveaway to sign up for, read the rules to be sure you qualify. You son may want to get his own account for double the chances to win! I know The Internet can be a wild and woolly place, but The Shave Den is populated by Gentlemen (and a few Ladies, too) so we keep it family friendly.
