Good morning,
As the title says I am about 4 weeks into my wet shaving journey. I can't quite remember how I arrived here other than I think I read that wet shaving was cheaper than cartridges. Well, that has proven not to be true. I started out with the standard Amazon best seller Viking razor. Within 2 weeks of shaving I bought a Timeless razor with a pineapple handle and 0.68 scalloped base. I am very happy to have found this razor so early on. It is simply awesome. I have picked up creams and soaps from TOBS, GFT, AOS, Stone Cottage, Sudsy Soapery, Captains Choice and Uncle Jon's. I shaved with Uncle Jon's Bay Rum last night. A wonderful scent and a great soap that gave me a great shave.
My friends who don't wet shave don't understand why suddenly I spent $250 on a razor and why I use a brush to make lather. Someday they will come around.
For me the greatest thing about wet shaving is that it has now shaving has become a relaxing ritual where before it was an irritating thing I needed to do. I will enjoy trying out new soaps and creams and every now and then going for that BBS shave. I usually do a 2 pass shave and can get a DFS. With the Timeless razor I can do a 1 pass shave and my face is very presentable for work.
Very happy to have found this forum!
