Welcome @Marc D ! Glad you joined us. You've been at this wet shave thing a little longer than I. Pleased you brought your experience with you. I may have more questions later Right now I'm curious - what's your favorite setup? Got a current best razor, blade, soap, brush, and/or aftershave? Photos always welcome!
Right now my Favorite Setup is Best Razor is My Slant Head and handle from Maggards, Soap is a hard one love Soap Command, Catie's Bubbles, PAA, Razor Rock, and Local Gent and more.... Brushes i have a few customs I love from Leo Frilot. Blades mostly Like Feathers and Personna's but been trying others and After shave about the same as the soaps Will have photos Later on
I haven't tried Slants yet. Saw a Hoffritz in an auction lot I was interested in, but too many others spotted it. The price went passed my entertainment budget. Been told you get much the same effect doing Gillette Slides. I'm still curious.
