Thanks to B&B

[Mr. Beaver]

A little over one year of DE shaving under my belt, and I'm getting consistent good shaves. I could not have done it without this site! I also have to thank my brother for first suggesting a DE, which got me searching the Internet, and eventually how I found this site.

As for the acquisition disorders: With the exception of blades, I think I already have enough supplies for the next 5-10 years!

Better get some blades then...

 

[luvmysuper]

It is great, isn't it?
AD's aside, wetshaving is one of the best decisions I have ever made.

 

[Mr. Beaver]

Yep, maybe I'll order a hundred-pack, or three

 

[Hughies_online]

You may need more blades than that! You never know, they could stop making them....

Be ADD like me, order 100 blades get to around blade 13 and realize, nah I need something else.

Currently the IP's are holding me over, for now...

congrats on making a year, mate

Congrats on one year down. I find the longer I shave with a DE the better the shaves get. Even now, I continue to learn little things that make the shave better.

This.

Remember the Swedes.

Gotta agree with this. Its one constant learning experience, for sure.

Only enough to last 5-10 years? You better increase the limit on your credit card. The shavepocolypse is coming!

 

[Gruder]

Glad all is going well for you! Keep up the good work, and keep on posting!

Thanks bro! It was a long first few months, even the first 6 were shaky. Now I'm pretty confident, but still improving slightly with every shave, and still fine-tuning the routine. As of now, it's 3 passes (WTG, ATG, XTG), then touch-up around the muzzle. I sometimes try touching up the neck, but this rarely works out well.

Oh man, now you're making me nervous

Wetshaving is the best hobby ever. I started 3 weeks ago and I'm already getting BBS shaves.

Exactly right Mr. Beaver, there is a lot of knowledge and advice on B&B.

Will you start with the straights in your 2nd year?

 

[nmerth]

+1 on everything said! im a few months in and I am already getting great shaves...IM venturing over to straights now.....and that is real the real struggle has come in. Without this forum I would have dropped that thing in a drawer after to seconds lol.! good luck everyone keep it up!

 

[OldSaw]

Congratulations on keeping at it. At this point, bad shaves should be very rare and almost always pinpointed to taking shortcuts and being in a hurry.

 

[Mr. Beaver]

Hmm, that is enticing. I can "feel" the DE blade, so-to-speak, rather than just the safety bar, so I can see the advantage to a straight. Don't think I'm ready quite yet, and I know the wallet isn't ready!

Wow only a few months, and on to the straight! Good luck!
