Noob here. I found this site and it has been extremely encouraging.
Until 2 days ago, I had no idea that that these better products and techniques existed (though it did trigger the memory of my Dad's old safety razor).
So, now I have a good razor on the way, as well as the usual accessories that would get approval from this crowd and am about to try shaving again... after a 6 year rest.
I stopped because of how it made me break-out even when I was using the best double/trible-blade cartridge razor and the best gel shaving cream. I don't know if anything will change, but it's worth a try.
I have been close-cropping with clippers to achieve perma-stubble which has worked great for my skin, but is always something that bothers me when it comes to my SO. She's a trooper cause she knows what shaving does to my face, but still...
So I have more threads to go through, but I am thinking that I will want to do a lot of experimenting and while I found great prices for main tools on the www, where can I go in the Bay Area to find Trumpers, and all those other soaps and lotions that people talk about? I am on the Peninsula.
