Seem like just yesterday that I started this journey with the modest purchase of a Merkur 34C, Merkur blades, a pure badger brush and TOBS lavender cream. As you can see, the den required the installation of three shelves, which are almost full. Gathering opinions and preferences from B&B forums, blade comparisons, internet shopping, package deliveries - it has been a blast. And the best part is a great shaving experience every day. Thanks for allowing me to share.
