When I say that I talk about myself. I'm 21 years old and started shaving my dad's DE safety razor last October. It took some practice and watching a lot of Mantic59 and Geofatboy, but I'm getting there. This place is very interesting... My friends think I'm a bit weird that I'm going old school for shaving but my face appreciates it.
Welcome to the Den. We know you'll fit right in. So grab yourself a comfy chair, and give our threads a spin! Burma Shave
Also, in my repertoire I've been trying a lot of stuff. Now I currently use my dad's Proraso in the green tube, either a Parker 99r razor, a '63 Gillette Adjustable, Grooming Lounge Shave Oil, a badger hair brush that I also share with my dad, Grooming Lounge Aftershave, and Pacific Shave or Barc's when I'm away for military service and don't have time for a brush. I know it's a long list, hopefully I'll be able to narrow it down.
Hi and welcome.. ya don't worry about your friends, sooner or later they'll probably end up getting dragged into all of this too..
You are obviously new, you still think you can "narrow down" your shaving stuff. Enjoy that day dream while it lasts. Welcome to the shave den.
...to The Shave Den family! Be sure to stop by The Shave Den "Master Sticky" thread to familiarize yourself with the rules and different areas of The Shave Den!
You say weird like it's a bad thing Seriously you apparently have a different definition of "long" than we do, if you want to see a long list check the links to some of our shave dens And by the way
Welcome to TSD! You're certainly not weird in this crowd! Also, we like Newbs here, we're always ready to help and without new faces TSD wouldn't be nearly as much fun.
Welcome to The Shave Den, a great community of guys and gals that enjoy wet shaving, I hope you enjoy your stay!
Hi Ryan! Welcome to The Den! Happy shavings! What's weird about having x razors, y blades, z soaps & creams? (x, y and z only becoming more and more and reaching to infinite...)
You know, I think it's super-cool that you are picking this up from your Dad - most 21 year olds I might mention my razors to look at me like I have two heads, or look at me with a bemused smile and then are studiously polite to the crazy old guy... Welcome to the Den!
