So with a total of 5 wet shaves under my belt I figured it was about time to start a journal to share my vast wisdom ha.
I switched to a safety razor for many of the same reasons as others - better shaves, less irritation, healthier skin, less wasteful than cartridges; but I'm also really interested in the act of shaving as a ritual of sorts. Between work, parenting two toddlers, and life in general it's nice to have a regular act of self care. Shaving has already become that for me and I look forward to continuing my 'Search for Shaving Zen'.
My current hardware:
To date I like Nacets better than Astra SPs; and Zingari Man Sego (Nomad) edges out Stirling beef tallow (I have samples of Island Man, Haverford, and Gatlinburg).
