Hello everyone. My name is Will and I'm new here to Badger & Blade.
I've been a DE shaver for about 6 years now and loving it. I never really thought to check out any communities of fellow wet shavers. I think this is the start of a new great hobby for me, and one that won't totally break the bank like some of my others (photography, cars, watches, motorcycles, reef aquariums etc.) although I'm sure at some point it will turn into an excuse to buy a lathe, badger pelts, and expensive leather.
In the near future I plan on taking the straight edge plunge. I'm quite looking forward to it.
I am one of those 12 O'clock shadow guys with wire for facial hair. With some quick math I determined that I was going through about 2 Mach 3 cartridge packs a month. At roughly $15 a pack x2 for the 72 months I haven't purchased one I figure I've saved over $2,000 in shaving costs. Kind of sobering when you think about it. And to boot I get a much better shave, with no burn, and I now enjoy the act of shaving.
So far the only downside I have found is the dreaded TSA (I fly a lot.) Other than that there has been no looking back.
Cheers everyone.
