hmmm - question is ... are you in?

Most definitely!

I'm in.

I started this adventure in April or May 2014. My first razor was an Edwin Jager DE 89, Merkur blades, and maybe a Van Der Hagen brush(?) sand I used Proraso Green cream and a Walmart bowl.

Started with an Ikon 102? That is too cool.

Got it off craigslist, if you can believe it. The fellow had a weber back when I didn't even know what a weber was!

I'm in! I started in last June after seeing the Rick Harrison/Pawn Stars commercial for the starter set. I knew I could do better than that so I blindly went off to Ebay and bought myself a 1960's Gillette Tech and 100 Shark blades. After I got through my first few shaves without major incident I started lurking on shaving forums, and decided to get a puck of Arko, a Semouge 1305, and some better blades.

Didn't you forget something?
Hint: In? Not in?

Thank you! Edited.

Im in! Very nice PIF.

I started wet shaving in dec 2015, my first razor was a Shaving Factory razor I bought at Sally's for $10, also picked up a Marvy brush (not recommended) dollar store blades, first soap was Badger Shaving Soap (couldn't get a good lather with). To make a long story short, it took a few shaves before I decided wet shaving was for me, I ordered a Col. Conk 4 pack, some Astra SP's and got a Omega s synthetic brush, and things took a 180 degree turn from where I started.

I'm in!

I started about 4 weeks ago around the end on May. I started out with my grandfathers Gillette Super speed, some Wilkinson sword blades, a Van Der Hagen wet shave set and some Nivea shave balm sensitive.

Sorry so late to the party! Great PIF, kudos! Good luck

(Not in)

im in. my first gear was a cheap plastic tto off amazon and a van van der hagen bore brush and bowl from walmart.

When into a CVS and bought the van der Hagen kit. Then went on Amazon and bought the feather popular... oh and yes...."I'm in"

I'm in. I started while looking into the razor subscriptions, and comparing costs. I was actually using Bic disposables for the last year for cost reasons. I was finally looking for a better shave but not at an extraordinary cost. Somewhere I stumbled onto a wet shave site explaining cost comparisons and benefits. Well I actually already had a brush and a few soaps my brother had given to me many years ago (a Vulfix, Porasso green tube, TOBS sandalwood, and some classic shaving pucks) which I had stored away after having limited success lathering with it. So I started researching wet shaving - and the obsession commenced! Order razors sample pack on Amazon and bought a slim on eBay.

Started Wet shaving in March.

I am not in but funny when I started wet shaving in 1973 it was a chore and gear did not have names it was a razor a blade a brush and a stick of soap, definitely prefer the present state where it is a noble art

I'm in.
I started wet shaving 6 months ago with a Merkur 34c and a no name badger brush and some Omega soap. Still trying different blades but so far Astra SP's are my favorite.

I'm in. I started by first throwing away the canned goo and using a Wilkinson Boar brush and either Wilkinson or Williams soap. My first razor was a Merkur 33C with a blade sampler pack. I'd been downhill er uphill ever since.

I'M IN! Thanks for your generosity @Marverel! I began in Jan. of 2015 with a Van Der Hagen set from Walmart some Astra blades and also a tube of Proraso Green.

I'm in. Started with a MicroTouch and a Van Der Hagen brush back on August 1 of 2014. Then I discovered the community, and now I have more than 30 razors and 15 brushes, plus a lot of software. Good lord, this hobby is addictive. Nice PIF -- I'm in
