Hey everyone. I've been lurking here for a while. Been toying with the idea of switching to DE shaving for quite some time and I finally decided to give it a shot. I just ordered a bunch of stuff. I was hoping for a little input on the items I ordered. Maybe a little advice on anything I missed. I can't wait to give this a try. I've got a fairly light/patchy beard and my line of work doesn't demand that I shave regularly but I like keep clean shaven. My problem is that I have somewhat sensitive skin and the disposables I've been using are just more irritating than I can take anymore. Anyway, here's what I have on the way...
-Gillette Tech DE Safety Razor (fat handle and triangular cutouts per *bay description)
-shaving bowl
-razor/brush stand
-Omega boar shaving brush
-2 pucks of Ogallala shaving soap
-one bottle of Captains Choice Bay Rum aftershave
-sample pack of razor blades
-Bloc Osma alum block
I'm hoping this will be enough to get me started. I'd love to hear any thoughts on the stuff I decided to go with. Anything else I should have on hand?
