So this is my first post on B &B. But I have been reading post here for about a year. The same time I got into wet shaving. I want to say thanks to all of you! You guys have helped me a lot with great advice on shaving and products. I also learned a lot from Geofatboy's youtube videos. In case anyone was wondering about my username. Panzermeister is German for tank master. I build scale models of tanks,aircraft, and some sci fi. But tanks are my favorite. I paint them to look real [faded paint,rust,dirt,etc.] I am the greatest modeler in the whole world! My greatness is only exceeded by my sense of humility.;] Just kidding. Anyhow you guys convinced me to try a de razor. I was sick of paying high prices for multi blade razors! And I have a tough beard with sensitive skin. I was still getting razorburn. But the first time I tried wetshaving, I was hooked! Never gonna go back. My first blades no name from CVS. They were crap compared to what I use now[Feather]. But they were much better than The Gillette fushion I was using. Please excuse my spelling. I am not a good speller. A friend gave me a Merkur 42001 that he only used once. It is a nice mild razor. So about a year ago I bought a sample pack of 15 different blades. The Feather is my favorite. But I just ordered a bunch of blades from Try A Blade. These are ones that I have not tried as well as some that I want to try again. Now that my technique is much better partly due to you guys giving such great advice. Feathers cut great but sometimes they are a little harsh for my very sensitive girly skin. So I want to see if I can find the right balance between smoothness and sharpness. I order some Nacets, Red Personnas,Kai, 7 O Clocks,and some others. I will post a future post with my results. I am sorry for such a long post . but I want to add one final thought. I thought you guys were nuts for calling wet shaving a hobby and buying different stuff! It is just shaving for God's sake!....So right now I am looking at my new products that just came today. Some Proraso Red soap, Red preshave cream, and my Vinkings Blade Meiji adjustable razor. My early Christmas gifts for me! Damn! I don't need to shave today. I am going to have to wait until Saturday to try this out. The waiting is killing me! OMG! I have got the sickness. This has become a hobby for me now;] Anyhow goodbye for now. I hope you all have a great shave and a great day!
