Hello Shavers my name is Andrew. Originally from the UK but I have been living in Antalya Turkey since 2002. I have just moved over to DE shaving after years of cartridge shaving. Being a newbie I am always looking for advice. I bought an Edwin Jagger DE89LBL, I have tried a few blades. The ones that work for me so far are the Perma Sharp and the 7 o'clock Yellows. I have just bought some Astra SP Greens and of course living in Turkey I bought a few packs of Derby blades. Premium, Usta (master) and Extra. I use Arko soap with an Omega boar and I have just bought a Yaqi Tuxedo 26 in marble red.Take care and stay safe.
