Good morning,
I'm new to the whole wetshaving world, been lurking on here and a couple other places without registering for a couple months, and made the jump to a DE razor (Van Der Hagen) 3 weeks ago. Tried the vdh blades (blech) and Kroger brand (which I understand are personna barbers), having much better luck with the later. vdh badger brush and probably too inconsistant with prep still (been experimenting with vdh Luxury soap, ToBS Mr. Taylor, and Cremo so far).
I was always one who put off shaving as long as possible, usually looking pretty bad because of it, and of course hating the shave more than anything because, if you go 3-5 weeks between shaves, anything is torture.
My boss never really cared about how I looked, and neither did their bosses. However, I realized that I am getting to the point where I'm dealing with higher level execs from other parts of my company, and I'd eventually like to move up. Also, our divsion head retired, and I decided to clean myself up for whoever took his place.
I set up a dollar shave club membership, 4 blade, and bought the shave butter. I had never seen anything like the shave butter before. That lead me to doing web searches on it, which led to searches on other shaving cream, which led to wet shaving info and me cancelling the DSC membership after 2 months and buying a vdh DE razor.
A strange tale, and a brave new world out there...
