I stumbled on this site and liked what I saw! I'm excited about getting back into wet shaving. I want to turn shaving into a fun experience instead of a chore. I'm interested in safety and straight razors. I also have two teenage sons and I want to share this with them and put them on the right path. Lets get started! Derek
to TSD Derek........I hope you enjoy it here....... We're glad you stumbled on us and have decided to stay and give "traditional" shaving a try...I think you might be in for a pleasent surprise...I shaved regularly for work with a Trac2 for 30+ miserable, irritation filled years...I was so looking forward to retirement mostly so "I WOULD NEVER HAVE TO SHAVE AGAIN"!! About 6 months or so before retirement I discovered "traditional" shaving and TSD...This turned an unpleasent chore into a very pleasent and interesting hobby...Well long story short I've been retired now for just over two years and I "HAPPILY" shave everyday now....
Hi! Welcome to the Den. You're on the right path to turning shaving into a "get to", not a "have to"!
Welcome to TSD! Sounds fun...You could either make the switch as a family or just wait for them to come check out and "borrow" your stuff when they notice you enjoy the shave routine all of a sudden. It's happened to several others here. I would recommend beginning with the DE that way you take your time learning the straight. The learning curve is much steeper and longer with the straight! Enjoy!
I lived in Kalamazoo on and off for many years. I liked the city, but hated the snow. Welcome to The Shave Den. This is an excellent place to learn and grow.
Welcome aboard! One of my favorite guitars was made by Gibson right there on Parsons Street in Kalamazoo in 1948. Love that guitar... I hope your sons are as interested as you in wet shaving. It really makes all the difference in the world. I HATED to shave. Now, I look forward to it!
Welcome. Good for you starting your boys out the right way into manhood. Hopefully it teaches them to slow down and appreciate simple things like a good shave in this hectic world.
Welcome to TSD, Shaving with a safety razor will definitely turn shaving into an enjoyable experience.
