What's new

Thank you B&B - Excellent Resource

B&B
I am grateful for living in internet world where information flows with no barriers. I was wet shaving almost 3 years but before this wasn't using proper techniques/tools. In the past 6 months, have been reading a lot of forums/blogs/watching you tube(geofatboy and mantic59 are great resources). BB is definitely my default source of information(if not wouldn't have registered here).
Besides that was really amazed with wet shaving world where so many brands are in fact available around the globe from cheapest to the finest. Its not world of Gillette alone.

Just a couple of last month ago I said I will never do ATG on my face (never say never). But after reading lot more and taking down the points esp face mapping, skin type, pressure level,hot shower before, hot towel btw passes etc I tried again and the outcome is really fantastic!. Barbershop level BBS(3-4 pass, still trying to improve an make it 3). Even without BBS I am happy with CCS/DFS. I have decided to go BBS just 2 weeks once-practice sake (BBS for special ocassions only as my work is casual look/dressing).

My next venture is into creams followed by brush. Delighted to know there are so many brands and countries producing them and vowed to try each and every one of them starting from cheap. Same goes to brush. I know, this is very addictive and you tend to buy every thing but so far good at keeping control and buying once a month, after salary in and put a budget aside. Big purchase is only on birthdays or festival.

Thanks again BB...keep up the good work! Let's convert more non-DE shavers to DE and increase our market share...:biggrin1:
 
I know this feeling. And am glad that you let me share some of your journey. Thank you very much and hope the future leads to amazing things.

My sentiments as well.

4 or 5 years doing this alone, always meaning to find out more about the "right way" to do it, find the "right stuff", etc....

Then I found B&B, and joined up.


It's going to take me a while to wade through all the threads I've been missing....but I"m going to try.


And to have that opportunity to do so availaible to me, I as well thank the forum and it's founders and managers and associates.

Welcome! This place is pretty great. If your looking to start with cheap creams, you won't be disappointed with Arko. It will definitely out perform its price point.
 
Thanks all....cant travel the world so bringing the world to me (diff brands around the world)..definitely Arko is in my hit list...:a41:
My idea is to have the best of most economic to the finest....(economic, mid range, premium) ...then rotate them between day to day and special ocassions....
Along the way, I learn about each and every company ..that really improves general knowledge and the history behind to appreciate..
