    I just had my first shave using a DE razor. Upon recommendations I bought a Merkur 34c. Wasn't too bad, only one little nick. I was a little nervous but it went well. Orders some different shave soaps from Uncle Jons last night. Looking forward to many more.

    My first DE was the 34C. I now have a 34G (C is chrome plated, G is gold plated) and a 34C with a custom red mallee burl handle.
