Hello guys, the names Taylor, I'm 20 and I'm a wet shaver. I probably gotten into wet shaving about a year ago, since i was tired of expensive Gillette cartridges, and i liked how the older razors looked, so i tried it and liked the way my face felt afterwards. glad i found this site of other wet shavers ^_^. anyways it seems like i'm the only young Adult who shaves the old fashion way anymore.

So what "software"~Soaps, creams etc or "Hardware" ~razors, brushes do you own?

Welcome! I think this form of shaving in general is such a rare thing these days that it seems like we're the only ones we know, but it seems like it may be becoming more popular. As for age, I'm 24 so not much older and just got into this a couple months ago.

Welcome! Not even close to the only one brother. 23 here. Four of my friends that are all younger than me all use the traditional shaving method
Welcome to B&B, Taylor! We've got all age groups here and everyone has something to share and learn! Our common denominator, besides wetshaving, is our desire for gentlemanly (and lady-like) discourse. Quite refreshing from the usual forums and blogs!!
Don't be afraid to ask questions, post pictures, share what you learn with others, and join in the fun!
Enjoy your shaves!
