Hello All!
I am a newbie from the UK, bored and fed up of my old Mock 3 I decided to buy myself a safety razor. I looked on the interwebnet and decided on the Merkur progress.
I then kind of blew it all by investing all of £5 in a nasty Bristle brush and Wilkinson Sword own shaving soap from Asda (Wal-Mart)
So far I have used this combination once and had the closest shave of my life. That was Thursday, it is now Saturday (late) and I only just need to shave again!!
The downside is that I did have quite a few nicks and a wee bit of burn. I think that was down to not getting a decent foam before shaving and using the wrong setting.
Anyway, I am now hooked, thinking of getting a Merkur Futur (I like the look) and shelling out on a decent badger brush. I have looked at the site and decided I want some Tabac shaving soap aswell.
So any tips, advice, and pointers for brushes, soap and how not to rip my face to shreds?
TIA
