Hello all!
I have been wet shaving with the few DE razors I have for almost 2 years now and instead of lurking I decided to join the forum. Wet shaving with a DE razor has been the best and least expensive option for me. At first there was a learning curve but once I got the hang of it there was no turning back. I can't believe I didn't switch from disposable razors years ago.
Back in Dec. 2020 the first DE razor I got was the new Wilkinson Sword one with the 5 pack of blades. I also got the Wilkinson shave brush and the Wilkinson shave soap. Then I bought three vintage Gillette Tech ball end razors a vintage Gillette speed razor and a couple of cheap DE razors from the dollar store (which I still use). Included in one of my vintage Gillette Tech razor purchases was a nice vintage Made Rite Pure Badger 649 shave brush which I use. I also got a 100 pack of "Shaverboy" stainless steel blades of which I still have 55. They are pretty good blades. For aftershave it's Skin Bracer or Aqua Velva. Nothing fancy there. The Wilkinson soap ran out awhile ago so I was using Barbasol in the can but that's gone so this weekend I will be getting new shave soap! Most likely Proraso since it's easily available locally.
Thanks for reading!
