Hello to all in B&B
I'm new to B&B and kind of new to wet shaving. A few years back, I picked up a Pawn Stars Micro Touch TTO. Wallyworld had them for 20 bucks. At the time, it seemed like a good deal. Now looking back, I have mixed thoughts about it. First, $20 was not even close to what I was paying for a razor with 12 cartridges. So that was good. But there was a learning curve involved. Yea, I made lots of mistakes. Got some cuts, bad lathers, and didn't even have a brush. Let's not talk about the soap. But I was so into the nostalgia of the whole thing that I kept ongoing. That is until my TTO came apart one morning. I don't know If it was me or the razor that caused it. So into the trash, it went. But I did keep the unused blades.
The blades stayed in my drawer for a long time. Until one day, I picked up a Van Der Hagen TTO at the drug store. I think it could be the same razor as the Micro Touch, but I don't know. With a little research, I learned to lather Williams with a cheap badger brush and bowl. With my newfound lather and a light touch, I was in a different world. Wow, I am so glad that I came back to it. So I do owe some thanks to Micro Touch. Now I find myself looking for new ways to learn about wet shaving. I have been looking threw B&B with big eyes. But my wallet is small. I'm trying not to turn my new found cheep shave into my new found expensive hobby. That's starting to look like a big challenge.
