I currently have what's listed in my sig. right now. I'm thinking maybe either some Thayers Alcohol-Free Original Witch Hazel or some Nivia aftershave balm as well?

Any other recommendations appreciated.

The Nivea ASB is good for what it is, but some people find balms a little sticky as we get into the hot weather (assuming you're in the northern hemisphere). I like my witch hazel with the alcohol (for the pain!).

Either of those things can come from your corner Rite Aid, so I'm not sure there's an advantage to the mail order thing. May be better to think of a soap or cream that you've always wanted to try.

Very good point, so i guess I'll hold off on those. Any other recommendations? I wanna order this up before i hit the sheets tonight.

The Thayer's WH is excellent (I like the one with the Aloe Vera), but so is the T.N. Dickinson's at less than half the price (although it has some alcohol).

I suggest a puck of Tabac SS, and maybe some Dominica Bay Rum as relatively inexpensive additions to your lineup from which you may derive great pleasure.

Enjoy!

An order from WCS is not complete without a tube of Musgo Real cream and a bottle of Musgo Original AS splash...

I'm surprised you gentlemen left that out...tsk tsk....

Trust me i know.

I can't stop checking this site now, my girlfriend tells me I'm obsessed.

Meant to buy one with my last WCS order. I guess it will have to wait until my next one.

Blade banks are available at your local 7-11, cleverly disguised as mini Altoids tins.

Ya as cheap as blade banks are, i would never pay for one... nothen an old jar cant handle. Or like you said Altoids

 

[Prince]

You are not obsessed. Just very interested in wet shaving.

At least that's what I keep repeating.

I just received my first order with WCS -- good service and going well.

Cella shaving soap, from Italy, is a classic.

How about a razor and brush stand?

Or even another razor so you can compare the HD 34C? I got the 12C.

Got my stand when i ordered my kit.

And as far as another razor, I'v been thinking the same thing, I'm only into wet shaving about a month but i already wanna try another razor to compare.

Hmmm.... Whatever you do, don't go checking out the BST Section. And if I was you I deffinantly wouldn't go lurking around on ebay, puting in searches like "Vintage Gillette" or anything like the such.
