When I was 12, I found my grandfather's DE and destroyed my face ... I had all but forgotten about the experience until a friend turned me back on to safety razors. After hours of video, forum, and chatting with others, I found myself in a failure to launch sequence! Well, tonight (a month later), I pulled the trigger: - EJ DE89 (because Geo said so) - Omega Pro 48 (lots of good reviews and under $10) - 32ct. Variety DE Razors - Shave Secret Pre-Shave - Proraso Menthol Tube (next is TOBS Sandalwood) - Clubman VIBR (so begins the bay rum experiment) Can't wait to get BBS!
Welcome. Awesome choice for razor and brush you won't be disappointed. I don't have experience with the other products so I can't speak for those. Don't be a stranger and Aprils focus is right around the corner, make sure you join in.

Welcome! Tons of info and help around here! Don't be afraid to ask anything, great group of guys and gals here to help! Shave on and enjoy!
virgin island bay rum is also known as liquid napalm. on my best shaves is a warm feeling, on some of my early not so good ones, a real fire storm. Lord help you if your prone to cold sores. I like it,I use it. but don't say no one warned you if it gets hot. welcome to the shave den.
Glad that you landed here at TSD. Join us on The Shave of the Day thread. It is fun, and you will see all kinds of products. And please Mark YOUR location on the TSD map - instructions here.
to TSD "Moses" Your starting with a very good kit. Once the Shave Secret runs out, you may want to consider giving Corn Huskers Lotion a try as a preshave. I've used it for years now and I find it works as well as the other preshaves (Proraso & Jack Black), is locally available and CHL is a TON cheaper.
Just saw the CH vid from ShaveBusta last night. Love the idea of adding in essential oils. Def will give it a look. Ty
Hi! Glad you've joined us!! And as for BBS, DON'T CHASE THE BABY!!! You'll only wind up with razor burn and irritation. Let the baby come to you. Be patient and take your time, pay attention to your prep and technique. One day it will happen - the Baby will catch you!!
