Hi everyone! I've been shaving for about 30 (wow! that makes me feel younger) years now. Started with electric since that's all Dad uses. Went to canned foam and whatever disposables I could get 10 of for less than $3. The latest have been 10 disposables for $1; what a Deals (ha!). I found yours and several other forums while looking for a better way to shave and boy did I find it! First DE shave this morning using new Merkur HD and Dorco ST300 blade. CO Bigelow cream, and the best brush I could find at CVS (VDH boar). I've been alternating using the cream and Williams for a few weeks learning how to do a good lather while researching razor and blades. I was about as nervous as a kid on his first date but got through it with no problems at all. Amazed at how nice the shave is (don't go getting cocky I know) compared to what I was getting with the $0.10 disposables. The only complaint I have is that I don't know what to do without that normal morning burn on my face! Thank you to everyone for all the help you have provided me without even knowing it. And a huge thanks to Mantic for his videos!! One really good shave down, rest of my life to go.
