Shave Newbie
I've lurked about here for a short while after hearing very positive things about this group from another forum I frequent (won't mention any names).
A little history: I'm old enough to have started shaving with a DE razor, a hand-me-down Fatboy from my step father. He thought using a soap and brush was stupid and a waste of time; I've been using them ever since. Over the years I strayed from a DE and did the cartridge thing like most folks, but stuck with soap and brush. About 12 years ago, I drifted back to using a DE razor.
Here's some of my favorite stuff (current):
DE razor: Razorock Game Changer (.68)
SE Razor: Colonial General SS
Adj: Parker Variant
Straight/Shavette: Feather Japanese style (this is a new adventure). I also have 2 Dovo straights which I use ocassionally
Brush: Plisson synthetic
Soap: Tcheon Fung Sing (recently started exploring Veg. based soaps after years of tallow soaps)
Blades: Feather, Red IP, Derby, Schick Proline
AS: right now I'm using Fine Green Vetiver
Anyway, glad to be here!
