I'm early on in my wet shaving journey. Our youngest son gave me a RazoRock Lupo DE Aluminum in the middle of February, out of the blue. I did wet shaving for a time when he was a young lad and he remembers that fondly and suggested I give it another try.

Long story short, I started researching it and have been having a blast and spending a fair amount right off the bat. I have everything I need a the moment, along with some things I'm sure I could have done without.

Anyway, here's what I'm using at the moment:

As I mentioned before, WELCOME TO THE FORUM!

That's a nice looking setup! I too enjoy the synthetic brushes, sometimes even more than my expensive Badger Brushes..

Let me know if you're interested in learning a straight razor or honing blades.

Welcome @Phoenixkh ! Glad you could join us!

Great setup! Is that your entire collection at the moment or are you holding out on us?

I do have that Lupo DE Aluminum with a SS handle around, 3 additional soaps and my DIY pre-shave. I think that's it.

And I'll admit one other thing... I am lusting over a CaYuen shaving bowl. I've contacted Rich and he's going to make me a custom color one. I'm color blind so I prefer brighter colors I can actually see.

Now I'm going to see if I can figue out how to post that photo into the post instead of attaching a .jpg. wish me luck

Welcome to TSC.
Have fun!

Thanks for all the warm welcomes. I'm really enjoying this journey we call wet shaving. I'm having more fun shaving than even buying the stuff that goes with it, which is refreshing.
