What's new

Turned someone away from the Dark Side!

I typically order my shaving supplies to my dad's business and pay for it by working for him. Every time I would get anything in the mail, my brother would make fun of me for being so into shaving. One of my dad's mechanics however, was interested in this form of wet shaving, after hearing me talk about it. He used a fusion with your typical canned foam. He has such a thick beard, he would only get one use out of a cartridge before he felt significant pulling.
I gave him my old tweezerman and a tube of co bigelow. He immediately said it was better than the stuff in a can he was using.
I purchased a straight razor so I decided to lend my Merkur HD to him while I learned on the straight. The next day after using it he came running out to my car and said, "Amazing!" "Like a hot knife through butter!" He said after one stroke he called to his wife to get online immediately and order one. He said after the first shave, "I already enjoy shaving."
I now have a woman at work who borrowed my HD for her husband, and now he is on the way to discovering how good shaving can actually be.

I wish someone would get the word out, so more people would be aware of this type of shaving. A special on TV would be great, certainly longer than Greenberg's small story on the Today show.
I believe that almost everyone would transition back from their cartridge shaving to this method once they tried it. I am trying to make a difference one person at a time, and I hope everyone else attempts to do the same.
 
For me its hard not to tell everyone about how great my shaves are. So far there has been some interest but no converts yet.
 
I bumped into a guy in the shaving isle of a super market. I was just checking out what blades they carried. I saw this guy puzzeling over a pre-shave face wash. I told him my hobby was "shaving" he looked at me quizzically. I recommended the face wash I used and talked to him about buying some Musgo Glycee. He bought the face wash I recommended and promised he was going to check out this board.

My wife is actually interested in all the "products" I bought and even lets me leave my Moss scuttle and lathering bowl on the BR counter.
