I joined back in 2009 after I made the switch to DE shaving. I left the forum but stayed with DE shaving. DE shaving was the best thing for my face and my wallet. I've improved in 8 years. What used to take me an eternity now takes about 10 minutes. I no longer do 3-4 passes...2 passes and that's it. I got 2 gilette razors which I got off ebay. Both are adjustable but 1 broke a few months back. I don't know why I keep it. I use derby blades. Around 2010 I could no longer get personna blades so I switched to derby. I currently love the pre de provence 63 shave soap. I've had it for 8 months now and it's barely half done.
I came back because I found out my manager does DE shaving and uses feather blades and a merkur razor. I've heard a lot about them while I was here but stayed away from the blades because everything I've heard made me believe I would end up decapitating myself. But I've read a thread where some people were saying they switched to feathers after years of DE shaving and because they are no longer a newbie to DE shaving, they get a great shave and still have their head attached.
I'm going to buy the feathers but I'm scared of using them. It's been months since I've cut myself shaving. I'm hoping to find tip for using feathers. I'm also hoping to find out if I should try a merkur.
