Hi, as a newbie to the forum I would l8ke to introduce myself.
My name is Danny, 42 yrs old and I’m from the east of the Netherlands.
Aftera desastrous experiment with a Double Edge razor five or six years ago (p.o.s. chinese razor). And after reading a couple of forums and watching dozens of YouTube videos, I decided to try wetshaving with a Safety Razor again.
I had allready switched to shaving soap and brush months ago, which helped my shaving a lot.
After watching a lot of razor reviews I decided to go with the Edwin Jagger DE89 with the knurled handle.
I have had my first couple of shaves with the DE, and all I can say is NO MORE CARTRIDGE RAZORS EVER AGAIN! (Sorry for “shouting”...).
My first shave was allready better than my last with the Gillette Fusion “Pro”-glide.
I used Derby Extra’s for my first 3-pass shave.
Less nicks than with the Gillette, and almost no irritation!
I’m going through a sample pack I bought online.
I have tried Derby Extra’s, Gillette 7 o’clock yellow’s and Astra SP’s in the past two weeks.
Trying a different blade every week, three shaves per week.
Today I tried the Astra’s for the first time, what a difference!!
Very close shave, only three small nicks (still learning to shave with a DE), and no irritation at all!
I’m acually going to enjoy shaving, I think.....
