Hello Gents,
I am a 26 year-old man who works in prison healthcare in Tucson, Arizona. Shaving used to be something I hated doing, and so I did it infrequently and with an electric razor (ouch). And then, a couple of months ago, I discovered DE wet shaving, and so a new passion began. Now I derive much pleasure from the process of shaving; it's something I look forward to, and as a result I take much better care of my face.
At the moment I'm really into RazoRock, and I'm using their classic twist-to-open safety razor with Lorde platinum class blades. Here's generally how my routine goes:
I fill my mug with hot water and let my razor and Omega 10019 boar brush soak while I hop in the shower. I've been using a pre-shave face scrub from Neutrogena. I've really grown to like a lot of Neutrogena's products over the years. They have a great naturals selection and a wide variety of skin care products that have worked really well for me. I like to face lather with a brush that's damp, and I've been using RazoRock's Don Marco bergamot neroli shaving soap. I make two or three passes and usually avoid shaving against the grain because my skin isn't so fond of that (though the temptation remains). Afterwards I rinse with hot water, then cold water, and then I wait a few minutes before applying post-shave products. Call me unsophisticated or an American traditionalist, but lately I've been using the original Brut aftershave and post-shave balm, in that order.
So there you have it. Nice to have joined this forum and I wish you all many happy shaves to come.
