for the purposes of newbie shavers, such as myself.
I guess for someone who has dove head first into this great tradition of wet shaving such as myself, sometimes when I'm reading about all the great reviews on products it's hard to restrain myself. I already have enough soaps it seems to last myself for about 5 years, but hard to resist all the great reviews on products. Which I give very much thanks for because I haven't had a bad experience yet.
An example, today I was reading about the new updates for the RazoRock "La Familgia" product line coming up. Then read the comparisons of soaps and creams such as, SMN, MdC, AdP, and TCF?. Now I'm sitting here on this fine Saturday going oh man must try the originals and the new RR products!
Sometimes I just have to sit back and notice that most of the people that have been doing the reviews are very seasoned "vets" in the wet shaving world. Have been doing it for many, many years. They have had plenty of time to experiment, collect gear (razors, brushes, soaps, creams, etc.) that I don't have to have in the first month and a half.
Starting to look at this as a journey, not so much a quick fix to cartridge razors. By that, I mean my experience has been head over heels better than cartridges already, but I'm going to have to take bumps and bruises on finding out what works best for me, as the B&B saying goes YMMV.
Look forward to being a member as long as I can keep up with the forum and contributing with what little knowledge I have of this very new habit forming daily ritual. Just got to keep remembering most of the guys you see with the fully stocked dens have been at it a while. I don't have to start this up overnight.
Thanks B&B!
