New guy here trying to learn a better way to shave. I am totally fed up with disposables and canned shaving creams. I'll take any advise to get me on the road to straight or safety razor road. Thanks in advance. flyfisher151.
Hello and welcome. First thing I'd say to go into the shave school forum and start at the top and read all of the stickies, then start getting more information from the old posts.
Welcome to TSD! This is the best wet shave board on the planet! Make sure to check the Shave School Master Stickies.
This is a rule that I give to anyone entering the world of wetshaving, it is the 30 Day Rule. The 30 day rule is to find a razor / blade combination that will not cause issues with your face, and a soap or cream that is easy to generate good lather. Once you find those, spend 30 days using nothing else until you build up your technique. After 30 days for each week thereafter, change only one variable, and work for another week to continue refining your technique. Soon you should be able to develop your technique to where you can really experiment with items and know that your technique is not skewing your evaluation of the products you are trying. I would try this post as well. http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...vice-for-a-noob-in-3-sentences-or-less.15135/

Hi! Welcome to the Den. Has anyone mentioned the Shave School Stickies to you, yet? Yup. Well worth the time.
Welcome to TSD!! Also along with the stickies watch Mantic and Geofatboy' s video's. I learned a lot by watching them and reading TSD posts. This is a great forum to learn about shaving with a DE or straight razor.
