BEFORE WET SHAVING BAPTISM:
AFTER WET SHAVING BAPTISM:
I converted to wet shaving after I stumbled upon that wet shaving article on MSN. Then somehow I got here which I don't even remember. I'd like to say thanks for all the great info you gents provided.
My first couple of shaves so far are on par with the Mach 3. I'm sure as I get better at this, the shave will be much better.
Incoming item: Tabac Original Cologne

Hey Jeff,
I'm glad that you found a way to get your hands on the Pinaud Bay Rum. I think you'll really enjoy it.

Someone needs to change his moniker to "stubborn shopper." The man went balls OUT! I respect that; go hard or go home.
Some of us catch the bug like a minor cold, others like the bubonic plague.

What is the stuff in the bottle on the Merkur blades, in front of the T&H Afterhsvae Balm?
Well, I figured I'll probably own one razor for the rest of my life so might as well buy a decent one. The initial investment is quite hefty(pun intended ) but it'll be worth it in the long run. Unless ... I'll start to catch one of those shaving mania bug that a lof you on this board seems to have. I hope it's not contagious 
joel, it's a bottle of Diesel aftershave.

I have to bring you into reality.. unfortunatly you will have so much fun you wont be able to stop, I too thought lets begin easy.. So I just bought 2 tubes of 500 ml Proraso a thin handle 1-9 Adjustable Gillette a cheap badger brush of $10 and 100 Israeli Blades..after my first few shaves I was hooked.. It is like most of the folks do here.. shaving to us is what shoes are to woman you want to try change them the next day so most of the top shavers here atleast the way I figure own more then one razor, one specific soap or aftershave or cologne or lotions ... it;s FREAKY ! but you just gotta love it. ...
my next purchases were D.R Harris almond shave creme and GFT Sandalwood shave creme and 100 Derby Extra blades its a whole different Lingo they use here you have to play code breaker for 2 days then you can follow the club

Gents, I recently acquired this pristine Gillette razor at an antique store.
The razor has never been used. The case is great shape and it also came with an unopened pack of gillette blades.

Great find!Austin said:Gents, I recently acquired this pristine Gillette razor at an antique store.

Were you just wandering by? or was this the result of a concerted effort into antiquities?
