Howdy all! Lurked for a little while and decided to register and say hi.
I'm giving a lot of thought to trying out wet shaving instead of electric razor trimming. I watched my Grandpa DE shave with a Schick injector and Gillette Slim with a puck of who knows what and a Old Spice mug until he was 90. Maybe its just nostalgia wanting to give this a try or that my wife failed to throw out the slim like she did his injector and brush and I've stared at his razor and mug for years now.
I have seen many say for beginners not to start with an adjustable, but if I already have a slim and no other DE razor, should I go out and buy a non adjustable? I would prefer to start this experience on a budget but with quality products.
I will have plenty of questions including a starter blade choice to pair with whatever razor I settle on and a soap/cream recommendation to pair with them. Something I can try for a while until I get a feel for DE shaving and hone my technique. I hope to lean on this community to lead me in the right direction.
