...I am not dead!

I got all excited about finding the forum and reading the tutorials and ordering my razor AND THEN...

We moved. For three weeks. To an area that has virtually no Internet.

So now I'm back at work and finally have reasonable access to the Forum!

• Since then, I have shaved four times with my DE (A Merkur Progress that is really great. Wish I got the long handled version, though). I have had only one weeper and one good cut (changed from Astra to Feather and paid the price)!
• Have decided to keep my old badger Warhorse and redo the handle.
• Have started to collect splashes (I never knew that you could buy Old Spice here!) and other products - have been leaning heavily towards Speick because I can get it nearly everywhere. Love that clean scent!

I really hope to get this online situation sorted soon so I can stay regular here!

All the best,

Welcome back!

Welcome back! No internet at all? Most of us would go insane without having the internet for five minutes, let alone your timelines. Where were you that had no internet? How do you actually survive?! Haha!

Welcome back! Good luck on your shaving journey!

Welcome back. In Germany? Also take a look at 4711 and Sir Irisch Moos.

Servus!

not quite sure how I have survived without the 'net but I have. There seems to be no simple solution in the future. Numerous friends have offered me "Internet Asylum" at their homes, which has been rather nice!

@Chadao - in Germany but I think I would rather splash on Zippo lighter fluid than wear 4711! That's what all the little old German women marinade themselves in overnight. Causes an instant headache.

I've heard a lot about Irisch Moos but have never encountered it. Will have to seek this out!
