Welcome to B&B

Drop into the Shave Wiki and read over some of the shaving articles. http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/ You will find a LOT of useful info in there.

If you have not already done so, stop into the Hall of Fame and tell everyone a little about yourself

Hello and welcome.

I hate to tell you this but you are screwed. I started with an EJ safety razor, tub of TOBS and a synthetic brush. That was maybe a month ago. Now I also have 2 vintage Gillettes, a boar brush, at least 5 tubs of different soaps/creams, a couple hundred blades, a lathering bowl, 2 razor stands, several bottles of pre-shave ( Likely to be PIF'ed soon since they seem rather pointless to me) several aftershaves, balms and tonics. And I have more stuff coming Monday and I am already looking for at least 2 more razors.

I also went from dreading shaving to looking forward to it. I picked it up pretty quick technique wise, but the second you think you got it or you try to go for that 3rd pass ATG on your upper lip you're bleeding and applying balm.

Take your time and enjoy the experience.
