Hi guys,
Wanted to drop by and first of all thank you all for the great content on this site. This has really helped me make a decision on how to go on.
I decided to grow a beard almost 2 years ago because I got sick of shaving. Fast forward to a few weeks ago when I was coming up to apply for a new promotion. Boss hates the beard so I decided to shave for a better chance. got the promotion (yay).
Then I remembered how much I hated shaving. Always get tugging and razor burn even through my hair growth relatively soft. I just thought this was a normal part of shaving.
So started doing some research after I noticed my barber using a different type of razor.
Last week I bought a cheap DE razor (the Feather one) when in Australia. I got a pack of Astro razors and a boar brush as well as the red Proraso soap. Total price AUD60. This way I thought if I don't like it at least I didn't spend too much.
After reading up endlessly to make sure I wasn't going to do it wrong and getting terrified of cutting myself the time arrived yesterday to try it out.
Firstly - I didn't cut myself! Secondly - the razor burn seems to have disappeared? Thirdly - wow what an amazing feeling. Who knew shaving could feel this good and not hurt. So I'm sold & addicted now!
