Hello and thanks for letting me join The Shaving Den. Summer is all year around here on Fuerteventura. I'm a convert from cartridge razors a few years back and am 62 years young! Being a warm climate, I normally use "Fitjar Islands" shaving creams and Cooling Gels/ Moisturisers as they are super fresh feeling, smell great, natural ingredients, go on easy and are not greasy! All goes on with a Muhle Purist badger brush mixed in a bowl. My go to razor is an Above The Tie Stainless Steel Regular loaded with a Gillette Silver Blue. Other razors are a Feather AS-D2 with a Feather blade and a Vintage Gillette Slim normally with an Astra blade! I hope this gives you an idea of my profile.......
Welcome @oldbean56! Glad you signed up here at TSD. Sounds like you've got your gear figured out. Be careful around here - you may bump into The Enablers. They'll have you looking for more storage space for the new products you didn't know you needed to try.
Welcome to TSD oldbean56, It is great to have you join us. I too am in my 60's (where did the time go?). Maybe we need to start a 60 and over club? Anyway it is great to have you here. You might want to wander over to the Stirling Exchange thread in the Shaving Soaps board where a number of us were discussing Stirling Soap's various cooling soap offerings. I too would like to learn more about "Fitjar Islands" shaving creams. Again, welcome and enjoy!
Ha, ha....thanks for the warning......I already have shelves and cupboards full of gear that I have bought, tried and stored and maybe I could sell to them!
Thanks, I'll take a look! For me the Fitjar Islands products are perfect. We are part of the EU here and have trouble getting some of the American imports due to the stupid ingredient regulations!
Hang around, post lots of photos* of the gear you'd like to move with reviews of the positive qualities. Good chance someone will be interested. Might could arrange to trade for some of that American contraband? I wasn't aware that there was a problem, except for alcohol based aftershaves. *We have a BST forum - read the rules to be sure when you qualify to list your gear.
