Hey guys!!! Im a young 21 from South Africa who recently started wetshaving, probably in about June last year. I joined a local SA forum and i went from 3 razors to 5 in the last month! The RAD has bitten!!! Here's a sneak peak of my collection. Sent from my Redmi S2 using Tapatalk

You are welcome. The South African Boer farmers hold a special place in my heart because of the land seizers. There will be a time in the near future when South Africa will not be able to feed itself. Glad you joined the Shave Den and you will like it here!
Yep, the paw paws hitting the fan here, even the national energy grid is on the verge of collapse. Sent from my Redmi S2 using Tapatalk

Welcome to TSD @matthewoli98! From the photos looks like you are well into figuring out your preferences. Folks rarely stop at one each of soap, brush, razor & blade, or post shave product. Is that a Fatip Piccolo? Good razor! If you get a chance to try a vintage Gillette NEW Long Comb you might find them to your liking too.
Great observation! Yes it is a fatip piccolo, i received it in a PIF from a guy on the mastershave forum along with soaps and creams as well as blades. My first razor was a locally made 2 dollar lion razor paired with their locally made blades, 2 months into wet shaving i found a near mint gillette aristocrat for 7 dollars and picked it up in a heartbeat. Before that i used to lather gels, which worked quite well but isnt as good as soap. Theres very limited selection here except for two specialist shops, both have excellent made in South Africa soaps. Yehuda recently tried some of our soaps and he loved them!
