Hi all,
Been a member for a few years but never got around to actually getting into wet shaving. Have recently purchased a DE Razor and associated bits & peices and am loving it! Got a lot to learn, but these forums are a trove of knowledge. My initial purchasing decision was made after trawling for a few months, and I'm grateful to all the contributors who make this community so great.
I have a merkur 34c, been using proraso soap and a Vulfix pure badger brush. Trying out different blades, so far merkur, astra and derby, liked the derby but it left a lot of burn after three WTG passes. Now considering a Gillette SS as it seems to be a lot more forgiving... Also have some Musgo aftershave balsam in the post.
A few nicks and cuts here and there, but not as many as I was expecting! I have a little lump scar on my chin which is very difficult to avoid cutting. I'm not sure how to avoid it, if anyone has any tips.
Cheers!
