First post and UPS

[scot]

Just wanted to say hi. I have been a long time "shave 2 times a week" guy, just due to having an overly sensitive face. Well possibly a combination of that and using bad blades and foams/gels/cheap "high class" creams that are not really creams.

To combat this, I figured a change was in order. A visit to classic shaving, a credit card and a few minutes later I am now the proud almost owner of some serious cutting equipment.

There it is, coming to me directly as of 4am. Sounds great considering I live about 3 miles from the ups depot. Would be great if they came by here at 8am like when I first moved in, but alas. I will be getting my razors, soap and futur at 7:15pm or so tonight.

My first report will follow tomorrow!
Woo?

Woo!

I'll post up a report in a few minutes with pictures of the kit. Just as a quick mini report, I did receive both a T+H sandlewood soap and a classic shaving sandlewood soap. Only used the classic soap at this point, but what I consider to be sandlewood, it isn't. Fortunately it did seem to make workable lather. When I opened the T&H package, I was greated with a very nice true sandlewood scent. I'll be giving it a shot in the morning to compare the two.

What I can't figure out is the stealth ups guy. He no longer even knocks on my door, just drops packages off in front of my house, including a racing engine a few weeks ago. I only know he has been here by either looking outside or checking the ups tracking page.

Oh well. Pictures coming, and no blood.

Welcome--and where are those pics!

 

[scot]

First set of pictures. Gotta love camera phones...
Not.

I'll take another round with my canon later, much much better.

Meow? Yeah he was begging to see/rub on it. Fortunately he no longer cares after getting the brush soaped up. Before that he was following me around like I had a had a nice juicy steak.

Ill take better pics later.

Welcome aboard, Scot (henceforth known as Scot with one T)

Sounds as if you're off to the races. You've already made a mindboggling contribution to the science of shaving. Most people don't know have to make their brush stop smelling like a dog. You've made yours smell like a cat. Brilliant!

Welcome Scot,

Beautiful setup you have just acquired. Are the Feathers the only blades that you have? If not maybe something a little tamer while you get used to the razor. Not sure if you have any DE experience but make sure you keep it dialed down and take your time. I don't have a futur (I am really thinking of purchasing one) but know it can be an aggressive razor...add in the Feather and it can be very aggressive. Just think...no pressure...no pressure...no pressure...
