Welcome AGH! This is a great place for wetshavers and an excellent place for new wetshavers. I'm near 60 and just took this up in May - and I'm not going back. (btw - grew up on LI, but living in Seattle now) Everything I learned about wetshaving I've learned on TSD! Try these videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/mantic59 Once I watched a few videos and obtained a starter kit, I stumbled onto a theory called the 30-day Focus: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/30-day-rule-meet-the-30-day-focus-greater-flexibility.42673/ Having never used anything other than electric or cartridge razors, this system was a gold mine for me. There is a monthly thread in the General section, where all kinds of novice and experienced shavers go through the month learning and honing their technique as a starter or on new gear...and they have fun doing it. Consider doing a 30-day Rule on that thread - you'll get no end of great advice. There is one just ending up today: http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/sept-30-day-rule-focus-pic-discussion-thread.46736/ And a new one for October should start soon. http://theshaveden.com/forums/threa...ocus-pic-discussion-thread.47300/#post-904703 And as with most hobbies / passions, they have their own world of acronyms! http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/acronyms-abbreviations.22209/ Welcome and good luck! Cheers! RT
to TSD "AGHisBBS" I hope you enjoy it here.. This place is full of shaving knowledge and helpful people who love to learn and are more than willing to share. Please tell us about your kit?
I've only been on here a few hours and my brain hurts and I want to buy every DE ever made. It's a great time.
