***February Newbie Give-Away***

Count me in

 

Lurking no more, you can count me in.

 

So, my wife says to me: "some day, you need to teach your son how to shave with a razor instead of the electric shavers you've been using your entire life". And I spend about five minutes on the internet, and learn that safety/straight razor shaving is the way to go. Who know!? So now apparently I need to teach myself a new life skill. Oh well, I think I've used up about as much of my life on Basenotes as I need to choose for him the greatest of men's colognes, so now here I am to learn from the pros at TheShaveDen. I'm up to the challenge - let the learning begin! Yay, a new obsession to obsess over!

Oh yeah, count me in on the free stuff too.

 

I'm in!

My facial hair is bad and I need constant shaving to not look like a 16 yo. moped gangster. :ashamed001

One year ago I startled on DE shavers. Having fond memories of my grandfather using one I gave it a go. Bought a merkur HD, Edwin Jagger Aloe Vera soap, Merkur blades and Zirh shave gel. After a couple of cuts and rashes I started getting good shaves.

After a while I purchased AoS shaving cream/pre-shave oil, D.R. Harris Marlborough soap and a real badger brush. I'm hooked looking forward to the soothing ritual of shaving after a nice bath.

When on a trip in Stockholm I stumbled on a shop with old stuff I asked and found an old gilette DE. It is a bit more aggressive giving a closer shave but still less irritating on my skin. What a bargain! After doing some research I found this forum and a thread by MTgrayling and I now knew that the DE shaver was a Gilette Rocket. :thanks

Best Regards

New Wet Shaver

One of my good friends got me interested in wet shaving very recently. I suffer from ingrown hair breakouts and he said this might be a solution.

He helped me order my first safety razors and a 1902 Gem Razor. Once my boar hair brush gets here, I will be attempting my first wet shave.

 

Free! Free is good, especially since I'm trying to outfit 3 of us into the world of wet shaving as expalined in my newbies thread.

Count me in!

 

I'm in it for the win also! Do I get bonus points because my name is also Joanna?

 

Well I am certainly in. Only one day left but I will manage the posts. Certainly could use supplies!

 

Very Nice

A big heartfelt thanks to all the contributors and all the members on the board. You guys and gals really make this a newbie friendly place.

All the prizes will come in handy, and I'll be sure to share with the family shavers.

Actually I will probably PIF some of the goodies to 2 guys at work that I got interested in wet shaving this week.

JoAnna, please give me a day or so to choose the scents from the lists provided. I'm going to let my SWMBO and daughter choose the scents.

Once again, thanks all! :thanks
