Hey everyone! - So im new here...
Initially I came to B&B just to view a few wet shaving topics, get a few ideas and then move on but I think the atmosphere (and quality!) of this forum has *kinda* won me over!
. After checking out what seems like over a million threads on B&B (dont get me wrong Im having a great time!) I decided to just start an account!
I'm not really new to wet shaving but I am to wet shaving proper. I started out with a Mach3 (like every guy does perhaps) and a can of cream. Instincts tugged and I wanted something simpler (and cheaper) than a 3blade and so with what I knew at the time I figured I would have to live with the Gillette Sensor, that two bladed thing that at least looks simpler and is about 5cents cheaper per cartridge than the Mach3! (what an amazing saving huh!). Finally a few years later my idea of simpler led me to a Philips Electric shaver - hmm do I get kicked out for saying that here?! I bought the *latest model* with so many features it promised it would cook my toast and button my sleeves up in the morning! After 3 weeks I sent it back for a full refund, it was the worst bit of kit i've ever used! I could have taken to my face with a blunt chainsaw and had smoother results!
Finally by accident I ran across the world of DE razors and I'm kinda hooked! Im yet to start and have zero kit, though I have checked out a few vintage razors at a local antique store. With all the great info on the forums I've decided to try to track down a Gillette SS and/or fat boy, but probably only start off with the SS until I actually get the hang of it after a month or so. So if I have no luck locally I might just pop up in the BST threads looking for a find!
Thats me intro'd up! Thanks for the great resources you gents keep putting into the forum - it is pretty damn fine!
Regards, Nick.

This is not heresy. Every one to their own I say and it's what suits that counts. I use DE razors, injectors and hell somtimes a sensor.
