So I'm trying to get more serious about wet shaving after years of butchering my face/neck with a Norelco electric razor. Quick and dirty, I'm looking for something less irritating and more meditative.
I did try a trial box of butter/razor carts from Dollar Shave Club, but am not impressed. I get snags on day one stubble with a fresh cart, hot towel pre-shave and plenty of shave butter. So I'm hoping for a smoother process when I get equipped and experienced with DE shaving.
Found these forums after a bit of research on DE shaving. I'm a bit wary of straight razors, reckon I'd start with DE blades. Really good resources and guides here.
I'm looking at a Merkur 34G razor and an Omega brush to start with. Haven't yet decided on soap or aftershave, preferably something unscented, I still live with my parents and a lot of fragrances give my mom headaches.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
