Isana badger, cheap brush from the drugstore here in Germany.
It is ok, pretty smelly in the beginning, hope to get a Simpson chubby 1 or 2 soon.

Hello,

So i was in the drugstore the other day and i came across some dirt cheap Wilkinson DE setup and since i always had an interest in it i bought it. I just googled how to use it so i would not cut myself and ended up here.
Now its been 4 weeks and i have around 100 sites, discussions/ tutorials etc. bookmarked, i am active on the bay, have tons of samples and gear to go through, working on refurbishing a fatboy, considering a Kamisori and lurking at the honing/ stropping corner.

This was to be cheap and easy, not a new whole new hobby, i have enough hobbies, so yeah i hate you guys, this is insane.

But i love you, you opened this whole new world to me, with all these smells, gadgets and sensations i never had. I really never had a father figure, damn, my first shave was against the grain just with water since no one was there to show me, its special to me to make shaving a thing now, i wanna pass it down.

I spend to much, time and money, but i am happy in this ****ty times.

So thank you guys and damn i hate you!
