Pittsburgh ​

College Pastor ​

What is your favorite shave setup?

My newbie set up is a 1973 Gillette Super Speed Black Handle, Astra/Derby blades, ARCO shaving cream, and a synthetic brush from The Body Shop. Occasionally, I'll run a Gem Push Button SE razor with CVS blades. However, I can't seem to get more than one decent shave from the CVS blades. I'm going to try some Treet blades soon.​

What are your hobbies and favorite activities?

I like being with family, Sooner football, Steeler football, fishing, shooting, and paintball. ​

What else should the members of B&B know about you?

I'm here to learn the enjoyable art of DE/SE wet shaving. I work with college students, and it was one of my students who turned me on the DE wet shaving.​

Hi Doug, welcome to B&B!

Congratulations on your decision to see what traditional wet-shaving is all about. It's a decision you will never regret! Your gear is all solid, but I've got to ask: What blades are you using?

There are links in my signature to areas of B&B of special interest to beginning shavers--perhaps you might like to have a look at them as well. If you ever have questions or run into problems, don't hesitate to post them up. We're a welcoming and friendly group here, and there's always someone around to offer advice or lend a hand.

Enjoy your time here, happy shaving, and once again, WELCOME!!

Hey Wingnut,
Yep, I forgot to mention the blades. I've tried the Derby Extra and the Astra Superior Platinum. They both seem to work pretty well for me, but think I may favor the Astra blades as they seem to last just a bit longer.
Thanks to you and everyone for the welcome!
