Hello, after reading about many different threads on this forum I decided to join and get myself a DE razor. I'm sick of disposable razors always cutting yourself and always leaving stubble. I think I will get a Horse hair brush, JoAnne's scents soap, a 36 blade sampler pack, and a EJ DE89L razor.

Welcome to TSD! Read, learn and enjoy your shave! ...Or is it enjoy your stay? I always get those two mixed up.
Hey, and welcome from another newbie. Your plan sounds like a fine one to these also-inexperienced ears. Oh, and you will certainly be wanting in the October newbie giveaway, especially if you can live with putting off the Edwin Jagger for a minute.
to TSD. It looks like your "good to go" with your start up kit. Since your going with a Horse, I'd recommed looking at the "bestshave" #6 Horse its a TON cheaper than Vie-Long and a pretty good brush, at least mine are.
Thanks for the warm welcome. Bplatoon thanks for the advice I saw that one, but wasn't sure of it at first.
Some people here have had trouble with the Vie-Long knot tangling. The QC isn't as good on the bestshave as the Vie-Long and the handle isn't as pretty, but I've used my #6 Horse daily for almost two years now with no problems.
Goto the forum list and click on "Newbies" and it will bring up a list of other newbie forums, the newbie give away for October is right on top. Just click on it and follow directions.
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
