    I'm in.

    I started this adventure in April or May 2014. My first razor was an Edwin Jager DE 89, Merkur blades, and maybe a Van Der Hagen brush(?) sand I used Proraso Green cream and a Walmart bowl.

    Got it off craigslist, if you can believe it. The fellow had a weber back when I didn't even know what a weber was!

    I'm in! I started in last June after seeing the Rick Harrison/Pawn Stars commercial for the starter set. I knew I could do better than that so I blindly went off to Ebay and bought myself a 1960's Gillette Tech and 100 Shark blades. After I got through my first few shaves without major incident I started lurking on shaving forums, and decided to get a puck of Arko, a Semouge 1305, and some better blades.

    Im in! Very nice PIF.

    I started wet shaving in dec 2015, my first razor was a Shaving Factory razor I bought at Sally's for $10, also picked up a Marvy brush (not recommended) dollar store blades, first soap was Badger Shaving Soap (couldn't get a good lather with). To make a long story short, it took a few shaves before I decided wet shaving was for me, I ordered a Col. Conk 4 pack, some Astra SP's and got a Omega s synthetic brush, and things took a 180 degree turn from where I started.

    I'm in!

    I started about 4 weeks ago around the end on May. I started out with my grandfathers Gillette Super speed, some Wilkinson sword blades, a Van Der Hagen wet shave set and some Nivea shave balm sensitive.

    I'm in. I started while looking into the razor subscriptions, and comparing costs. I was actually using Bic disposables for the last year for cost reasons. I was finally looking for a better shave but not at an extraordinary cost. Somewhere I stumbled onto a wet shave site explaining cost comparisons and benefits. Well I actually already had a brush and a few soaps my brother had given to me many years ago (a Vulfix, Porasso green tube, TOBS sandalwood, and some classic shaving pucks) which I had stored away after having limited success lathering with it. So I started researching wet shaving - and the obsession commenced! Order razors sample pack on Amazon and bought a slim on eBay.

    Started Wet shaving in March.

    I am not in but funny when I started wet shaving in 1973 it was a chore and gear did not have names it was a razor a blade a brush and a stick of soap, definitely prefer the present state where it is a noble art :)

    I started wet shaving 6 months ago with a Merkur 34c and a no name badger brush and some Omega soap. Still trying different blades but so far Astra SP's are my favorite.

    I'm in. I started by first throwing away the canned goo and using a Wilkinson Boar brush and either Wilkinson or Williams soap. My first razor was a Merkur 33C with a blade sampler pack. I'd been downhill er uphill ever since.
