Hello Everyone! I am new and am thrilled I found this forum. I was always sort of a shaving nut, but after doing some reading and looking at your forum, I recognized that 1) I was doing it all wrong, and 2) I was missing an opportunity to really make my daily shave a welcome and enjoyable ritual, as well as a hobby. I have recently purchased one of the Merkur "barber pole" DE razors, a badger hair brush, and a tub of Truefitt and Hill 1805. I am looking forward to my "new life" of shaving!!! :thumbup:

Hi Patriot, welcome! Your equipment sounds good, be sure to pick up a blade sampler pack, and find a good blade to your liking.

Thanks for the advice "closer". I have initially purchased the Merkur blades with my razor. I have read that those are decent, "middle of the road" blades. I am definitely staying away from the Feathers for now. I will have to eventually get a sampler pack though.
