Birthday Score

[Meldog]

Just ordered the following for my B-Day (with SWMBO approval, even)

Merkur HD 34C
Sampler of DE Blades (Merkur, Lord, Wilkinson, Derby and Feather)
Truefit and Hill Aftershave Balm

Can't wait for it to come.

Then I can try some REAL shaving, and throw out my Trac 2

Dont toss the trac 2......it might come in handy for travel.

Nice order there... Happy Bday too!

Nice order. The 34C is an excellent DE and I expect you will really like the T&H aftershave. I would suggest sticking with one blade for several shaves as you work on technique. This will help you with getting technique down. You can always switch out blades and try different ones, once your technique is fine-tuned.

++1...I am happy that your are coming into the classic-shaving side, welcome aboard. But don't throw out the Trac II handle, they are great for air-travel and provide a decent shave. Infact I picked up an older plastic black handle Atra (C2) for $1.50 today at an anitque shop for the purpose of using it or a Trac II during air travel.
