Welcome! I'm new here too, but not new to wet shaving. After many years of lurking on other forums, I've found The Shaving Cadre to be exactly what I was looking for. What are you using to start your journey? Brush? Soap/cream? Razor?
Excellent!
Glad you stopped in. Feel free to jump in anywhere.
Welcome. This is definitely the place for someone looking for tips and tricks (and a bit of fun). Don’t be shy, if you have questions that need answers start a thread or speak up in an existing one. A lot of the guys here have been at it a while so they are full of information.
...so what gear you using now?

Welcome to the Cadre! Pull up a chair and jump into a conversation!
Thankyou all for such warm welcome!
since im a student (without a job) i got the basic stuff to get me started
razor: EJ de89l
brush: some synthetic brush
blades: i got a few 5blade sample packs.
soaps: arko, IB amici, Razorock (creed smell) and mikes natural barbershop
i do have watched atleast 100+ videos on soaps, blades and razors, they are really tempting but pretty expensive.
i became a wetshaver to save money, i have already spent alot more on the gear i got, but this addiction is really pushing me to buy HQ stuff which i cant afford atm.
thankyou very much artisans for adding such chaos to my life

about member being generous. i scroll down and see a member already ready to pif me. WOW just WOW
Yeah, the Dave's around here are pretty good guys. The one from KY is VERY generous.
Your razor and brush choice are pretty standard new guy selections. Nothing wrong with the EDJ razor or random synthetic brush. I rather enjoy the vintage Gillette razors, they can be found on ebay (or our BST) for a song and are built to last. I also recommend a nice Schick injector...they are great. There aren't a lot of blade choices for the injector so you won't be tempted to chase different blades, the injector blades also last a long time.
