Newbe presentation :-)

Hi everyone

So I have found a new rabbit hole to disappear into and explore!

I'm one of those men who loves projects and finds new ones periodically. So a while ago when I was sick at home and was a bit bored I found this forum, not good! So you all understand where it would end!
Since the mid-80s, I have been using Gilette's razors, such as Fusion, Proglide and foam in cans. Have always had problems with shaving damage and especially on the neck.
So what a revelation it was when I used the first real shaving soap, brush and DE razor.

I was at home and didn't have much to do, so I scanned what people on this forum liked to use (and on youtube, online and a few different stores). When I had put together an exciting list, I started to order home razors, brushes, soap and other things to try out.
What I find most interesting are shaving soaps and shaving brushes.

So now I have a Rockwell 6C to shave with, soaps from Ariana & Evans, WhollyKaw, Saponifico Varisino, Areffasoap and others. Brushes i have got from Maseto, Omega, Simpsons and Yaqi to try out.
I think I have an ok setup to start with.

And everyone wants pics so here is one!

Regards Tommy

Looks like you're off to a good start...I'm guessing that soon your razor collection may exceed your necktie collection.

This is the beuty of hobbies that it gives so much enjoyment. I'm a collector so I always try not to get too carried away, but it's often hard not to get carried away.

Welcome to B&B. I have a weak spot for soaps. I completely understand multiple soaps. I wish they didn’t last as long so I could get more.

Welcome from Oregon - you are off to a great start with some fantastic choices! And now I'm feeling inadequate, I own like two ties and I only know where one of them is at the moment.

its great with the soap fragrances. We are 2 alergics in the family and have never been able to use any aftershaves and perfumes. But the shaving soaps are ok since they are mutch more subtle.
