Newbie here. Some random web comment a month ago someone mentioned safety razor shaving and Merkur. It piqued my interest. All I'd ever known was cartridge razors, my dad used those Bic things that came 15 to a plastic bag. So I filed it away to look into, as I had gotten to the point where I shaved maybe once a week and just looked scruffy. And when I did shave, it was a real chore as the dull mach3 ripped all the hair out of my face and left me sore and itchy. I would stretch those cartridges out forever because they are so ridiculously expensive.
With just minimal research, I dove in with a Merkur 180, badger brush, and col conk almond from Amazon. I've been using it for a couple days now. And I have to say.. W.T.F., why did anyone ever switch to those stupid cartridge razors!!! My face feels great, it's made shaving fun, completely pain free. No cuts, no nicks, and if I just go for a one pass, it's still a better shave than even a new cartridge, and does not take more than a couple minutes more.
Bewildered by the whole array of razors, blades, soaps, etc., I found B&B, and it has been really helpful! I'm hooked, a Jagger DE89L, an assortment of blades and some Tabac are en route to my house now...
