    Hi all,

    After going through the expense of replacing those multi-blade carts & electric shaves that I can't seem to get close, I decided to delve into wet-shaving!

    I have purchased a EJ DE89L & now have around a dozen shaves under my belt. I am having a blast & also feel the need to start a collection, lol.

    Any suggestions on building a collection? Unique, vintage, interesting razors & gear?

    Cheers, dekatz :)

    The EJDE89L is a mighty fine razor! As for advice on building a collection.....

    How much do you have to spend! :D

    Welcome to the den. Adding to your collection is more of a preference thing. Do you want to try vintage razors/new razors. Spend all your money trying dozens of blades. Buy tons of creams and soaps. Buy tons of aftershaves. It is a very tricky thing to decide what to buy. I personally would stick with one razor and a blade combo that works for you. Then start experimenting with either more creams and soaps or buy another razor to your liking and try to get a great shave from that one as well.

    Thanks to all for the warm welcome. Queen of Blades, thanks for the link to the review section. I believe I will start out my collection with a birth year razor (1966)

    Welcome to the Shave Den.:signs046 Great to have another fella on the board.

    Also check out the freebies section under "The Marketplace" for free Noobie stuff. I have a giveaway (PIF) going "Regarding the "PIF: Arko Shave Stick" you just might get a free shave stick!
    I have no other suggestion except to try everything you can...you will hit something that will tickle you pink.

    Welcome again! :signs046
