    I'm in.

    I started in 2010. I received a Tech from my Uncle and used what was locally available at Wal-Mart. Wilkinson Sword blades, Wilkinson Sword brush and Williams Mug Soap. Only thing I have left from those days is the Tech.

    I've been wetshaving since around 1979 with a Gillette Good News razor and Barbasol canned goo - high school days. But more to the interest of this forum it was around 2004 that I started wetshaving with a brush, soap or cream, and a DE razor. Omega boar - black handle I think, Williams soap in an Old Spice mug (a mug I still use), and a Merkur HD razor which I still use today.

    Nice PIF. Thanks.

    My first shave was with my great-grandfathers SR with the VDH deluxe kit on April 22nd, 2016 (yes, four days ago, the day before I turned 28)!! I would love to try with these razors as well. I also want to get my brother in law into wetshaving because normal shaving gives him bad razor burn on his neck

    I'm in. Great PIF.

    June of 2011, I decided to go retro. I went back to my father's blade, the double-edged razor. I went on line and purchased a Parker DE razor with 10 Shark Chrome Blades, a stainless shaving bowl, a badger hair brush, and a tube of Musgo Real Shave Cream. This initial setup is thanks to a gift card I got for Fathers Day. Thanks, guys!

    I'm in. I got started around Jan 2014. I bought a Micro Touch One, and as the blades that came with it. Shortly after, I started to use Cella and Personna Lab Blues blades. It's gotten better and better, from that day on.

    I've only been wet shaving since February 13 this year, but I will never go back. I started with a Gillette Slim, Omega boar bristle brush and a puck of Arko. I have definitely been getting the best shaves of my life.

    Not in I already have lots of stuff. Very kind of you to put this out there though! I started wetshaving October 2013 and it seems like yesterday. The first razor for me was a Merkur 42C.

    Very generous offer....IM IN!

    I started wet shaving about 4 months ago. My starter pack consisted of:

    - Merkur 33 Classic Double-Edge Safety Razor
    - Parker Black Handled Pure Badger Brush
    - Prosaro Green Shaving Soap
    - Feather Blades

    Since then I've added a few blades and a few soaps, a synthetic travel brush, and a RazoRock Jaws that I don't like as much as the Merkur.

    I started with an ikon 102 and an omega boar off amazon. I've tried a few things, but I've never tried the things you have in this very generous PIF.

    I started a year ago in January. I started with a RR Mission, Cella shave soap, and a Semogue 1305 brush, which still gets used ~90% of the time, and Clubman aftershave. I still have a picture....

    Nice PIF, not in as I already have enough gear.

    But..

    I started in June 2013 with an EJ89 Lined handle, Astra SP blades, Vulfix 404 mixed and TOBS Sandalwood cream.

    (And if I hadn't found these pesky forums, I would probably be using the same setup.)

    I started recently in December of 2015. Razor was a Weishi gun metal, soap and brush came from the VDH deluxe shave set, and the post shave was Nivea Sensitive. I still use all of these except for the Weishi razor since I PIFed it. Good luck to everyone!
