    Welcome to the TSD from another newbie. Check out the 30 day challenge thread. I'm 5 days in and am starting to see the light.

    I have already been tempted and gone mad. A merkur 23c and a R41 (the madness not used yet)

    I used the r41 this morning, noticeably more aggressive than the merkur, however 3 days growth removed in two passes and no irritation, a couple of nicks but no major loss of blood.

    Welcome to TSD. Plenty of sound advice on offer, don't be too shy to ask. This is where shaving starts to become a lifelong pleasure.

    Regards,
    Chris

    There is something magical about DE shaving that is not the same as using cartridges. (one great example of the stories of Grandfathers.):thanks:

    Four years on from my original post.
    I seem to have collected around 20 razors and around 20 soaps.
    Is there a treatment or do I need to buy a house with an extra bathroom to house the future purchases?

    There is no cure. I hope some of those razors are SE and injectors.
