Just a small introduction 
I'm Pete a British expat living in Philippines. I have been wet shaving for a little over a month.
My first razor was the Parker SR1. It was on sale and i just wanted to dabble in shavette shaving as a break from cartridge razors and also something totally different from anything else i've done before. Took a few attempts to get the angle, but with lots of YouTube Vids out there it made is less difficult to learn.
Beginning of the week i purchased a Parker Variable Satin Chrome with looks great imo. Still getting use to it, but so far im really enjoying the experience. Some have YouTubers advised not to go for an Adjustable as a first DE, but i like to have options to choose the level of aggression than buy a fixed level where i might not like the experiece that particular razor gives me. I'm more than happy with making that choice.
Both razors came with Shark Blades. Not sure what it is with those but they just don't feel comfortable, so i tried out EuroMax Cryo Platinum blades and they feel really good. Haven't seen many reviews for them, but they are really cheap.
Also addedd a Parker Blue Wood Boar brush, mainly because it looked nice, but was pleased that it wasn't so unforgiving to my face. Lastly for the soap i got the Taconic Eucalyptue Mint
shaving soap. Really loving the scent of this soap.
Just a couple of piccys to share
I'm happy with the products i have, but was curious to know if anyone knows a shave shop or similar in Philippines where i could get supplies when needed? A lot of the online stores stock exactly the same thing at exactly she same price, so variety is pretty slim.
Anyways. Thanks for taking the time to read my essey of an introduction.
Catch you soon.
