Umm... Hi!
So I have to admit that I've been completely sucked in by the world of DE shaving, and am currently still in the process of putting my kit together.
As a result, I've spent the past couple days (weeks) digging through the forums, following links out to external sites and vendors, and invariably finding my way back again. The fifth time I did this in the same session, I figured it was probably time to register.
Like I said, my setup is still under construction, at the moment I've only got a Lord DE razor with "Navarro" pharmacy-brand blades. And I'm ashamed to admit, I've done three DE shaves sofar with the dreaded "goo from a can." Better stuff is already ordered and en route, though.
One thing I noticed about the website sofar is that you guys are AWFULLY fond of your abbreviations and acronyms. VDH, BST, EJ, AOS, SR, HBS, TH, TOBS, GFT, WCS, DE, MWF.
Can a newbie get a glossary around here? ;-) I was one step away from making a spreadsheet!
Seriously, though, this is a fantastic resource, and I already enjoy my shaves infinitely more than with cartridge razors. I actually don't get a lot of growth, so in the past I've been able to get away with only shaving once every week and a half to two weeks, but with DE shaving, I've been averaging twice a week! Just about as often as I can.
Of course, my girlfriend thinks I'm crazy, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.
In any case, I'm very impressed by the intelligent, supportive, and positive nature of this particular corner of the internet, and hope to participate in further correspondence in the near future.
