Well I originally signed up just over a week ago (for a PIF) and have finally managed to find time to check-in. Life just seems to be very busy at the moment.
Well I could say I started out on a SE razor right back when I was a teenager, but that was using Bic disposables as I didn't want to spend too much. I have used a variety of cartridge razors ever since. I'm fairly new to DE shaving after the many years using cartridges. I say fairly new as I tried to use the freebie Wilkinson Sword razor that comes with the razor blades, probably about 20 years ago, and had a fairly torrid (and bloody experience). I then discovered the Rockwell 6C and I have no intention of going back to cartridges. My technique is nowhere near perfect and I intend to spend some fair time reading the forums, but I am looking forward to the journey.
I've used a brush and soap for a good while, but again my technique isn't always great, especially when I'm in a hurry. I now also realise there is so much new stuff to try!
I discovered B&B when doing a Google search for that ever-elusive answer, "how many shaves should a (DE) razor blade manage?" Having seen how welcoming and friendly this forum is, I signed up in less than a week - the quickest sign-up I've ever done for a forum (and I've belonged to a few in my time).
Looking forward to a very pleasant time here at B&B.
Cheers,
Phil

I appreciate that 118 pages (of 20 posts each) is quite a bit of reading... but the main message is in the OP.
