Oh! For sure I enjoy it here! To be quite honest, I did not think there was such a thing as a wet shaving community. I wish I had found this place years ago... I have not tried a sample pack of blades yet. Probably my next purchase... For now I am focusing my efforts on the Astra SP and it seems to work well on my face, but I only get 2 shaves out of a blade. Not a problem for me. I have been wet shaving for a little over 2 weeks now and I am getting consistent DFS to BBS shaves with little to no irritation each time. The irritation being located in my neck area only. Which is my problem area (even with the electric razor). All in all, I am extremely happy with my progress and I totally enjoy it. I never thought I would say this before. Shaving was just a daily chore with the electric razor, now it is something I am looking forward to.
I'm new also and trying the 30 day rule, teaches technique and it's really improved my shaves already.. oh btw , I'm from Canada too. NewBrunswick
