New to DE or how I haven't sliced my carotid artery yet.

Hello all!

I've been at this since Christmas 2013 time with a Merkur and a kit my wife got for me. I've just started branching out into different soaps with a recent purchase of Proraso blue tube and some fine soaps from How To Grow A Mustache. Eventually, I'd like to branch out to a nice adjustable DE and dabble in some other pre-shaves (which I'm currently using the Proraso green pre-shave balm.

Anyways, I'm on Reddit but I wanted to expand my knowledge base direct with the experts here at Badger & Blade.

Hello and welcome. We started with the exact same kit. You are off to a great start and seem to be developing the addiction. What blades are you using?

As our Mod Jim stated. ...both vintage or modern are great choices.

My first razor ever was a Merkur Futur, and I really enjoyed using it.
