I started wet-shaving back in 2008, and I kinda got away from it.
Just coming back now.
I researched wet-shaving because I was tired of the costs of blades going up and up.
I knew so little about how to shave, that I didn't even know there was any way to shave that would eliminate ingrown hairs and razor rash.
When I was shaving with cartridge razors, I would intentionally skip every other day of shaving, just so i wouldn't have breakouts and irritated pink patches of skin.
I fell in love with not only wet shaving itself, but all the cool scents and gear that go hand-in-hand with it. The whole culture is wonderful.
I fell away from the practice because I simply stopped making the time for it. I went back to cartridge razors out of convenience.
I will say that, with all the skills I developed through wet-shaving, I was actually getting a pretty decent shave with it, but I miss the experience and the feel of a real shave.
Anyhow, glad to be back.
One day I'll be brave enough to put down my 60's Gillettes and pick up a straight edge!
