Delivery Tomorrow.

Hi Everybody, after 40 years of disposible shaving, I decided today to send away for a decent Double Edge blade set up after watching some 'Gentlemans Gazette' videos on Youtube. I am fed up of trying out cartridges of various types, as I don't seem to be getting a decent shave anymore, and sometimes this is twice a day.
I'm looking forward to the learning process again, and hopefully getting some good insight on this forum!
I've ordered the Bambaw razor with Astra titanium blades, plus Taylors Sandalwood cream.
Cheers all .......Johnny.

The Wanderer's Guide To DE Shaving

Part One I was self taught with a DE razor 25 years ago, and had to figure out a lot of things the hard way. I learned a lot of things over the years, but wish there had been an experienced DE shaver who could have taught me the basics early on. This guide is offered so that you can get to...

www.badgerandblade.com

... which is my standard advice for newcomers to help them find their feet with DE shaving. The first four posts should get you pointed in the right direction

Whatever your query, or whatever you want to try next, there's always someone around here to help

The most important thing though, is enjoy the journey

Welcome to B&B, Johnny. Just remember to use a light touch - little pressure on the razor - and use the correct angle and all will go fine.

Welcome. You’re getting a nice start, but I predict there’ll be lost of suggestions in your future.

I was Ok until the 3rd pass and I picked up 3 nicks that didn't bleed, so nothing major. Thing is when the Aftershave wore off I could still smell the Taylors Sandalwood all night!
